Run Development mode and Production

  • Run development mode with npm run build-watch and a dist file will be generated. Install Extension Reloader to reload chrome extensions easily everytime you reload. (take note that when u change manifest.json file, it will not automatically load, you need to click update extension )
  • manifest_version 3 can't use npm run build-watch beacause version 3 can't support CSP

  • Build for production npm run build and zip it and deploy onto chrome store.

prompts.js

Vue CLI prompt is based on inquirer.js api.
