We have open-sourced the boilerplate of chrome extension with ReactJs using inject page strategy. Read detailed blog
The boilerplate is to quickly create a chrome extension using ReactJs
The motivation behind creating a boilerplate was:
- Instead of chrome's ready-made popup, We wanted our own page injected into DOM as a sidebar for better UX.
- We wanted to use ReactJs for the Component-based approach, Routing, and its build mechanism.
- Extension CSS should not conflict with the host page styles in any case.
