Chrome Extension Hot Reloader

[!IMPORTANT]
Does not work with Manifest Version 3, as Chrome has recently removed the APIs essential for working with file system from background scripts: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/65975659/how-do-i-get-access-to-all-the-files-in-the-extension-in-chrome-extension-manife/65976345 :(

Watches for file changes in your extension's directory. When a change is detected, it reloads the extension and refreshes the active tab (to re-trigger the updated scripts).

Here's a blog post explaining it (thanks to KingOfNothing for the translation).

Features

Works by checking timestamps of files
Supports nested directories
Automatically disables itself in production
And it's under a 40 lines of code!

How To Use

Drop hot-reload.js to your extension's directory.
Put the following into your manifest.json file:

1    "background": { "scripts": ["hot-reload.js"] }

Also, you can simply clone this repository and use it as a boilerplate for your extension.

Installing From NPM

It is also available as NPM module:

npm install crx-hotreload

Then use a require (or import) to execute the script.
