Extension Reload

Ever wanted to code a Chrome extension but manually reloading the extension every time you saved was keeping you from continuing?

Fear no more and let Extension Reload handle that for you.

Get started

  1. Clone this repo:
git clone https://github.com/leonbubova/extension-reload.git
  1. Go to your Chrome Extensions, find the extension you are developing right now and copy the ID
  2. Open background.js and paste the ID in the first line:
var id = "ollopneandcnbhhmgahsdieoceacfafd"
  1. Go to your Chrome Extensions again and click Load unpacked extension
  2. Select the root of extension-reload and confirm

Congratulations, on every page refresh your extension will now get reloaded.

Happy coding!
