Nice video man! Short and to the point.

Great tutorial, keep it up bro!

sir very helpful tutorial, thank you for great explanation, I have still one query how to do background service and content service to run on it ?

Mate, you are absolutely brilliant. Incredibly well taught and presented. Thank you so much for this!

I had to play around few videos before I land on this, and it's bang on; explained so nicely with easy steps. Great tutorial! Thanks.

Thank you so much, it's an amazing tutorial for Chrome extension!!!

Awesome video. Thank you :) Very clear.

Thanks for this quick and concise tutorial !

Not even done yet but this is for sure the best chrome extension tutorial on KZfaq!

Wow life saver! I didn't realize I could pass state into the dom and always thought I was limited to using state in the popup

Thanks for this great tutorial, it helped me initialize the plugin quickly and understand the structure of a plugin.

Man this summarizes everything I've learned so far in creating chrome extensions. You earned a sub from me!

goated. Best typescript extension tutorial

Very cool! Thanks for the tut!

this is so well produced. You deserve more subs! Thanks man

Awesome video! Thanks so much. Quick q: how would you pass state from the page context to the popup context? I love that we can easily pass from popup to page via the args function, but what way would you recommend to go from page -> popup. I want to have my popup react to the current page the user is on! Thanks :)

this tutorial is amazing

very helpful and clear

thank you so much, Great video

I cant find the source code for the React/Typescript example.... you are missing some codelines in the video, but cant find the source code!

Thanks, you really help me to understand how work with "two scopes" (extension and web). keep going!!!...

Phenomenal tutorial James! This video has all the relevant information required for development and the iterative approach is extremely useful. The end product is awesome!

unbeliever you are doing such great job

More of this but advance

Great! nice tutorial

Thank you sir, this is the exact solution for my problem...😄

Amazing video, so useful

Awesome!!

great video man , just wanted to say thank you.

Nice video man. What's missing in this is a hot module reload set up - something I'm trying to figure out. this way you don't need to keep running the build command but have your changes appear live in the extension

it works bro thanks 😀

awesome ..👏

Wonderful video! Thank you, mate. Subscribed for more :)

nice tutorila but i need to build everytime. do you have any solution for it?

Nicely explained! subscribed ❤

Any solution to the "I have to build the file all the time"

Great video hope we see advanced videos like for example auth with supabase using the extension etc

If you wanted to add a service-worker to the vite application, would it be in the public or src folder, and how would the manifest point to it? Thanks!

Deserves way more views!

I want to know how to make an extention which could be interacted by a website. In other words how to manage content.js and background.js console.log('Content script loaded'); const script = document.createElement('script'); script.src = chrome.runtime.getURL('inject.js'); (document.head || document.documentElement).appendChild(script); script.onload = () => { console.log('Inject script loaded'); script.remove(); }; window.addEventListener('message', function(event) { if (event.source !== window) return; if (event.data.direction && event.data.direction === 'from-page-script') { chrome.runtime.sendMessage({ type: 'CUSTOM_WALLET_REQUEST', payload: event.data.message }, (response) => { window.postMessage({ direction: 'from-content-script', message: response }, '*'); }); } }); THis is an example code

howto implement background scripts?

Just wow!. I was exploaring if it is possible to create extention with frameworks like react or svelte and found this. Thnks a lot.

And how to read page document in extension?

Thank you for this video but can you explain how I can pass a function state to the DOm?

Dude dont stop the prod. You deserve a lot more subs than this. This channel is underrated

When you get to using Vite, you switch to having javascript files that are referenced from an index.html file. This suits what Vite expects, and allows Vite to use the index.html as the entry point, but for most chrome extensions, you will want to have possibly multiple javascript entry points that are referenced from your manifest.json and not from an html file. Is there a way to do this? I'm tempted to skip Vite and just use tsc directly to build. EDIT: I gave up too easily looking for an answer. It looks like it's actually quite easy. I haven't tested this yet, but something like: javascript // vite.config.js import { defineConfig } from 'vite'; export default defineConfig({ build: { rollupOptions: { input: { page: 'src/page.ts', options: 'src/options.ts', worker: 'src/worker.ts', // Add more entry points as needed }, }, }, });

Hey, thanks for the tutorials. I'm just starting to learn how to code my own Chrome extensions and I really enjoyed your detailed step-by-step guide! Also, I wonder how do you type so fast? Or did you just record a coding video and then recorded your explanations?

What program are you using at the beginning?

hi, great tutorial, I have a question, let's say I want to use the chrome.storage.sync.get API inside a useEffect in my App.jsx file so I keep synced my service-worker and my popup, when I run npm run dev, react does not have access to the chrome API, how can I access it to keep emulating my chrome extension in dev like it were a standalone react app?

if you can make a tutorial of automating clicking element selectors while the user is opening another tab while its performing the actions in the background with no interruptions would be very helpful i would even subscribe.

Great tutorial , but one part I didn't understand is you told me that we need the *Content Script* to actually change the content of the page we are interacting with. But here you directly modified that in the same file where we were running that popup. One more thing why did you clear the service worker file ?

Hi man, wanderful video, I love it. Can you help me, please? I have a extension built with Vanilla JavaScript and it rund when the page load, I followed your video but I can't do it run when the page load, only when clicked. How can I do that?

I have spent over 5 hours just loading unpacked extension files. I am using Linux (PopOS) finally with help I found the issue. Because of portal bugs, if your source code is under home, it won't see it. Even if you click the button and select the directory, nothing changes. Move your source code under another directory like Documents, instead of Home. If the button still the button still does not work, just drag the directory (folder) and drop it to the extensions page. It should work.

I still feel some gap between using chrome extensions from the scratch and with vite installation, but anyway this video helped me get started, thanks!

okay, So where i should put my background file then??

please share the whole project. due to screen capturing issues it's unclear in some parts

so where can i found the source code of the vite? onChange code is half in the video

18:55 why i cant listen anything 😕??

how to write a content.ts and then produce a content.js in dist

no hot reload?

Can you do a tutorial for a side panel chrome extension

i love u

9:51 this leads to anonymous function error

only bad thing about this, its because uses react 😆

What's the purpose of omitting react from the title? I came to this vid because I expected to see some pure typescript but instead I got a react tutorial instead. I feel deceived.

I do not understand the comments here about the video being "well produced". The guy rushes through everything and you constantly have to rewind and find precise timestamps, if you're uncertain about some pieces of the code. Then the guy all of a sudden talks about *the* terminal and from there on the video is a disaster. Sound is missing, one can't possibly understand what you're saying and you also don't help with setting everything up. In my years at university, I only learned about java script, html, and css, but never about the rest here, which is why this was very confusing. Also the "explanation" of Vite at the beginning of the section was not any helpful. Again: I do not understand, what video the writers of these comments watched, but for sure not the same as I did. Sorry for this much negativity, but these comments are not justified and also won't help the creator to improve. Like, at least watch the video before you upload it... Now after finishing the video: The example code isn't to find anywhere, which makes the parts that weren't visible in the video, impossible to figure out. Also, you tend to always do the important part on the bottom of the screen, which is just a terrible design choice, especially for tutorials. And once again: Comments like "Phenomenal tutorial" are really not justified. Your camera is literally blocking important pieces of the code, which are never shown. I seriously do not understand, how one can have anything positive to say about this video. It's really bad...

Dude is managing two spellings of color in one file. Respect 🫡

Thanks a lot
