Chrome Extension Live Reload

Build Status Coverage Status NPM Package Dependencies Greenkeeper badge

No more manual reloading of unpacked chrome extensions when developing!

Shamelessly ripped from xpl/crx-hotreload

Usage

In your manifest.json:

"permissions": ["management", "activeTab"]
  • management allows for reloading the chrome extension (required)
  • activeTab allows for logging status to the current tab (optional)

In your background script:

import "crx-livereload";

Build, watch and see the automagic happen.
