How to use with newtab.html?

My use case is a new tab. In public/manifest.json I want to be able to add public/newtab.html so that:

"chrome_url_overrides": {
    "newtab": "newtab.html"
},

and it to magically reload every time I make a change to src/App.js. It works if I change manifest.json to

"chrome_url_overrides": {
    "newtab": "popup.html"
},

but I’d like the ability to have more than one file being watched/served, or to customise the one that is being watched/served.

Thanks

The latest release of create-react-extension now supports the options.html page.

For those wanting to update to support the new options page, just update react-browser-extension-scripts to version 4.0.10 and add the following files:

• public/options.html(see template example)
• src/options/index.js (see template example)
• src/options/Options.js (see template example)

This version might looks strange, I intend to follow the versions of react-scripts and add 0-9 for any specific create-react-extension features that are released

Hi @frenetix, thanks for asking. I haven’t been very active on this project recently. I will like to add support for this soon but don’t want to promise anything this week because I’ve just moved house. I will give another update by Friday 4th of September as this is a feature I think would widen how many people use this project (and therefore useful for others).

Still if anyone would like to add a PR, they are very welcome as well. I appreciate it might not be the most obvious thing to do without digging a bit deeper into the project and understanding how CRA works
