grunt-chrome-extension-reload

Reloads open chrome extension tabs (chrome://extensions) to ease the monotony of chrome extension development. Uses prasmussen's chrome-cli to interface with Chrome.

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.2

This plugin also requires prassmussen's chrome-cli binary to be installed.

If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

npm install grunt-chrome-extension-reload --save-dev

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-chrome-extension-reload');

The "chrome_extension_reload" task

Run the grunt-chrome-extension-reload as-is. The recommended use case is as follows:

watch: {
  js: {
    files: [
      'my/files/**/*.js'
    ],
    tasks: [
      'chrome_extension_reload'
    ]
  }
}

Note that grunt-chrome-extension-reload works best in concert with grunt-contrib-watch. As in the above example, once grunt-contrib-watch detects changes in your chrome extensions source files, it will then automagically reload your chrome://extension tab automatically.

Overview

In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named chrome_extension_reload to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig().

A string value that is used to do something else with whatever else.

Usage Examples

Contributing

In lieu of a formal styleguide, take care to maintain the existing coding style. Add unit tests for any new or changed functionality. Lint and test your code using Grunt.
