This template should help get you started developing a svelte web extension in Vite.

Usage Notes

The extension manifest is defined in src/manifest.js and used by @samrum/vite-plugin-web-extension in the vite config.

Background, content scripts, options, and popup entry points exist in the src/entries directory.

Content scripts are rendered by src/entries/contentScript/renderContent.js which renders content within a ShadowRoot and handles style injection for HMR and build modes.

Otherwise, the project functions just like a regular Vite project.

Refer to @samrum/vite-plugin-web-extension for more usage notes.
