## README

# Simple Chrome Extension generator  [![Build Status](https://secure.travis-ci.org/nibblesnbits/generator-chrome-extension-simple.svg?branch=master)](http://travis-ci.org/nibblesnbits/generator-chrome-extension-simple)

> Chrome Extension generator that creates everything you need to get started with extension development.
Includes `grunt` tasks for easy generation of debug and release builds.

## Getting Started

- First make a new directory, and `cd` into it: `mkdir my-new-chrome-extension && cd $_`
- Install the generator: `npm install -g generator-chrome-extension-simple`
- Run: `yo chrome-extension-simple`

## Generators

Available generators:

* [chrome-extension-simple](#app) (aka [chrome-extension-simple:app](#app))

### App

Sets up a new Chrome Extension, generating all the boilerplate you need to get started.

```bash
yo chrome-extension-simple
```

## Test Chrome Extension

To test, go to: chrome://extensions, enable Developer mode and load app as an unpacked extension
by selecting the `build` directory within your project.

## Grunt tasks

### Debug

Debug task helps reduce your efforts during development.

```bash
grunt
(or)
grunt debug
```

### Build

By default, generators compress the file that was created by building a js/css/html/resource file. You can distribute the compressed (`.zip`) file using the Chrome Developer Dashboard to publish to the Chrome Web Store.

Run this command to build your Chrome Extension project.

```bash
grunt build
```

Grunt will automatically increment your [patch](http://semver.org/) version and create a new compressed file for that version.

## Bower Dependency Management

In an effort to reduce distributable package size, this generator includes a `dependencies.json` configuration file.

```javascript
module.exports = {
  build: {
    options: {
      dependencies: [{
          "src": "bower/jquery/dist/jquery.min.js",
          "dest": "app/libs/js/jquery.min.js"
      }]
    }
  }
}
```

The `dependencies` property contains an array of objects with `src` and `dest` properties.  `src` referrers to the relative path to a bower dependency, while `dest` specifies where to copy the file(s) during build.  jQuery has been included by default as an example.

## Options

* `--skip-install`

  Skips the automatic execution of `bower` and `npm` after
  scaffolding has finished.
