This is a simple Chrome extension template project in Visual Studio 2017. It does not contain any refrences to 3rd party components and frameworks. The project is intended as a basic starting point for a Chrome extension if you are going to develop it in Visual Studio.
You can use the solution and its project directly and start adding code and references.
Or, you can create a template using it. To do that, build it and copy the
ChromeExtensionTemplate.zip file from the bin folder into your
\Users\{your_user}\Documents\Visual Studio 2017\Templates\ProjectTemplates\ folder.
From then on, you will have the Chrome Extension Template as an option in
New Project dialog.
After you create a new project using the template, you need to:
- Change the
manifest.jsonfile. - Add your business logic to popup.html, popup.js, and baackground.js.
- Add more files as needed.
- To run the extension
- Open Chrome and navigate to chrome://extensions,
- Enable
Developer mode, - Click
Load Unpackedand point to the folder with the manifest file.
