sveltekit-adapter-chrome-extension

Adapter for SvelteKit apps that prerenders your site as a collection of static files and removes inline scripts to comply with content source policies of Chrome extensions using manifest v3.

Based on @sveltekit/adapter-static. Credit goes to these people for their hard work to make Svelte so great

Usage

Install with npm i -D sveltekit-adapter-chrome-extension, then add the adapter to your svelte.config.js:

// svelte.config.js
import adapter from 'sveltekit-adapter-chrome-extension';

export default {
	kit: {
		adapter: adapter({
			// default options are shown
			pages: 'build',
			assets: 'build',
			fallback: null,
			precompress: false,
			importPrefix: null
		})
	}
};

Unless you're in SPA mode, the adapter will attempt to prerender every page of your app, regardless of whether the prerender option is set.

Options

pages

The directory to write prerendered pages to. It defaults to build.

assets

The directory to write static assets (the contents of static, plus client-side JS and CSS generated by SvelteKit) to. Ordinarily this should be the same as pages, and it will default to whatever the value of pages is, but in rare circumstances you might need to output pages and assets to separate locations.

fallback

Specify a fallback page for SPA mode, e.g. index.html or 200.html or 404.html.

precompress

If true, precompresses files with brotli and gzip. This will generate .br and .gz files.

importPrefix

If specified, will replae all imports with prefix, allow to inject svelte page to content. Example: importPrefix: 'chrome-extension://alidacpbefflgmbeomhifiognomlldjt/'

SPA mode

You can use adapter-static to create a single-page app or SPA by specifying a fallback page.

In most situations this is not recommended: it harms SEO, tends to slow down perceived performance, and makes your app inaccessible to users if JavaScript fails or is disabled (which happens more often than you probably think).

The fallback page is a blank HTML page that loads your SvelteKit app and navigates to the correct route. For example Surge, a static web host, lets you add a 200.html file that will handle any requests that don't otherwise match. We can create that file like so:

// svelte.config.js
import adapter from '@sveltejs/adapter-static';

export default {
	kit: {
		adapter: adapter({
			fallback: '200.html'
		})
	}
};

When operating in SPA mode, only pages that have the prerender option set will be prerendered.

GitHub Pages

When building for GitHub Pages, make sure to update paths.base to match your repo name, since the site will be served from https://your-username.github.io/your-repo-name rather than from the root.

You will have to prevent GitHub's provided Jekyll from managing your site by putting an empty .nojekyll file in your static folder. If you do not want to disable Jekyll, change the kit's appDir configuration option to 'app_' or anything not starting with an underscore. For more information, see GitHub's Jekyll documentation.

A config for GitHub Pages might look like the following:

const dev = process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development';

/** @type {import('@sveltejs/kit').Config} */
const config = {
	...
	kit: {
		...
		paths: {
			base: dev ? '' : '/your-repo-name',
		},
		// If you are not using a .nojekyll file, change your appDir to something not starting with an underscore.
		// For example, instead of '_app', use 'app_', 'internal', etc.
		appDir: 'internal',
	}
};
