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
