Chrome extension boilerplate to define redirection rules

Shuntr

This repo is a minimalist Chrome extension to redirect files. I use it to redirect production scripts to local ones, but it can also be used for images, stylesheets, html... Nothing is automatic, no interface, this is a simple boilerplate for devs.

Usage

Edit app/manifest.json to include your production domain.

Add rules in app/js/background.js to define your redirections.

Load the extension (or reload it). Go on chrome://extensions/ then enable Developer mode, then add your module via the button Load unpacked extension.

Be careful

• Everytime you make changes to the extension, you have to reload the app in the extension page (via the button reload under the extension)
• If you redirect to localfile, they must be available via the same protocol for security reasons
