Running it locally
The manifest.json required for extension is located inside the public folder.
To load the extension locally. Go to extension → Load unpacked → point to dist folder (the build folder).
For development use
npm run build:dev
This is because the extension requires to point to the build folder, using this command you won’t have to rebuild on every save.
For development you can also use npm start, but you won’t be able to load it as extension but as a react app.
Some important notes:
- The extension attaches to a shadowdom, this is to avoid page style affecting the widget style.
