{"library":"plasmo","title":"Plasmo Framework CLI","description":"The Plasmo Framework is a comprehensive Software Development Kit (SDK) designed for building browser extensions with a focus on developer experience, akin to Next.js for web applications. It abstracts away complex configuration, offering first-class support for React and TypeScript. Key features include declarative development, Content Scripts UI, Tab Pages, live-reloading with React HMR, environment file support, and built-in Storage and Messaging APIs. The framework simplifies targeting multiple browsers and manifest versions, and supports automated deployment via Browser Publish Protocol (BPP). It is currently in a stable state with version `0.90.5`, maintaining a rapid release cadence with frequent minor updates and patch fixes. Its differentiators lie in its 'batteries-included' approach, robust tooling, and focus on streamlining the extension development workflow.","language":"javascript","status":"active","last_verified":"Tue Apr 21","install":{"commands":["npm install plasmo"],"cli":{"name":"plasmo","version":null}},"imports":["import { defineManifest } from 'plasmo'","import type { PlasmoCSUI } from 'plasmo'","import type { PlasmoExtensionManifest } from 'plasmo'"],"auth":{"required":false,"env_vars":[]},"quickstart":{"code":"npx plasmo init my-extension\ncd my-extension\npnpm install # Or npm install / yarn install\n\n# Start development server with live-reloading\nplasmo dev\n\n# Build for production, e.g., for Chrome, Manifest V3, and create a zip file\nplasmo build --target=chrome-mv3 --zip","lang":"bash","description":"Initializes a new Plasmo extension project, installs dependencies, and demonstrates how to start the development server and build for production.","tag":null,"tag_description":null,"last_tested":null,"results":[]},"compatibility":null}
