Templates#

Extension.js allows you to create new browser extensions quickly by using templates. Templates provide pre-built structures, components, and configurations that fit various needs and technologies. By using the --template flag, you can select the one that best suits your project requirements.

Available Templates#

How Does It Work?#

When you run the create command with the --template flag, Extension.js fetches the template from the repository and generates the project structure based on the template. This process includes installing dependencies, setting up configurations, and creating the necessary files for the extension.
