A Yeoman generator that scaffolds Chrome extension projects, generating boilerplate with a choice of browser UI types (browser/page action, omnibox) and permissions. It includes Gulp tasks for Babel ES2015 transpilation, watch with live-reload, and production build/packaging.

Use cases

  • scaffold a new chrome extension project
  • bootstrap chrome extension boilerplate with manifest and permissions
  • set up gulp build pipeline for a browser extension
  • develop chrome extension with es2015 and live reload
  • package a chrome extension for the web store

When to choose

  • starting a new Chrome extension from scratch with modern JS tooling
  • you want an opinionated Yeoman + Gulp workflow for extension development

When to avoid

  • targeting Manifest V3 with modern tooling like Vite or CRXJS, since the generator is dated (last release 2022) and relies on deprecated Bower
  • you only need a minimal manifest without a build system
