vite app + chrome extension
I'm trying to build a chrome extension that will work along side a traditional Vite app.
I'm new to the web extension space and it's a bit overwhelming. There are a lot of plugins and frameworks that claim to be the best approach but they all do the same thing in different ways. I'd like to find a solution that is VERY simple and solves HMR in a reasonably good way.
I'm currently considering the simplest approach i could think of, which consist of just adding additional entrypoints in my vite configuration to use the
dist
folder to contain the app + the web extension files (popup.html, background.js)
etc.
This is how the application is structured:
And these are the rollup options that define the entry points:
This works, but there is no HMR. To preview a change I need to run vite build.
Is there a simple tweak that i can do to improve this?0 Replies
