react-typescript-web-extension-starter

��️ A Web Extension starter kit built with React, TypeScript, SCSS, Storybook, EsLint, Prettier, Jest, Bootstrap,x & Webpack. Compatible with Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Brave.

Getting Started

Run the following commands to install dependencies and start developing

yarn install
yarn dev

Scripts

• yarn dev - run webpack in watch mode
• yarn storybook - runs the Storybook server
• yarn build - builds the production-ready unpacked extension
• yarn test -u - runs Jest + updates test snapshots
• yarn lint - runs EsLint
• yarn prettify - runs Prettier

Notes

• Includes ESLint configured to work with TypeScript and Prettier.

• Includes tests with Jest - note that the babel.config.js and associated dependencies are only necessary for Jest to work with TypeScript.

• Recommended to use Visual Studio Code with the Format on Save setting turned on.

• Example icons courtesy of FontAwesome.

• Microsoft Edge is not currently supported.

• Includes Storybook configured to work with React + TypeScript. Note that it maintains its own webpack.config.js and tsconfig.json files. See example story in src/components/hello/__tests__/hello.stories.tsx

• Includes a custom mock for the webextension-polyfill-ts package in src/__mocks__. This allows you to mock any browser APIs used by your extension so you can develop your components inside Storybook.
