Chrome-extensions-cli NPM

Chrome Extensions CLI

A CLI tool built to generate new chrome extensions.The CLI can quickly generate the necessary boilerplate code needed for building the extensions, free of any dependencies on third party code or libraries (but still giving you the freedom to integrate your preferred libraries or frameworks as you build your extension)

Installation

npm i -g chrome-extensions-cli

The package needs to be installed on global npm scope so that it can be used directly as a cli

Usage

chrome-extensions-cli generate

The generate command will trigger the node script responsible for the generating of the boilerplate code. The CLI will guide you through the process and generate only the code which you will need in the extension.

$ chrome-extensions-cli generate
