Usage
- ``` null

The road ahead is filled with many turns.
Popup changes go in popup.tsx
Options page changes go in options.tsx
Content script changes go in content.ts
Background service worker changes go in background.ts
Directories
You can also organize these files in their own directories:
- ``` null
- ext-dir
- ├───assets
- | └───icon512.png
- ├───popup
- | ├───index.tsx
- | └───button.tsx
- ├───options
- | ├───index.tsx
- | ├───utils.ts
- | └───input.tsx
- ├───contents
- | ├───site-one.ts
- | ├───site-two.ts
- | └───site-three.ts
- ...
- ```
Finally, you can also avoid putting source code in your root directory by putting them in a srcsub-directory, following this guide . Note thatassetsand other config files will still need to be in the root directory.
