dist/index.debug.user.js: This is the development build with eval-source-map. It will be automatically loaded by dist/index.dev.user.js via @require file://.../dist/index.debug.user.js metadata, Don't add it to your userscript manager.

edit src/index.ts, you can even import css or less files. You can use scss if you like.
go wo https://www.example.com/ and open console, you'll see it's working.

dependencies

There are two ways to using a package on npm.

UserScript way

like original UserScript way, you will need to add them to your user script metadata's require section , and exclude them in config/webpack.config.base.cjs

Webpack way

just install a package and import it in your js file. webpack will pack them with in your final production js file.

Build

npm run build

dist/index.prod.user.js is the final script. you can manually copy it to greaskfork for deploy.

Minify

There is a limitation in greasyfork, your code must not be obfuscated or minified.

If you don't need to deploy your script to greaskfork, enable minify as you like.

automatically Deploy

github actions will deploy production userscript to gh-pages branch.

example

deployed

You can auto use greasyfork's auto update function.
