Chrome Extension Live Reload

Shamelessly ripped from xpl/crx-hotreload to verify npm imports worked. See xpl/crx-hotreload#9 and last release date.

No more manual reloading of unpacked chrome extensions when developing!

Usage

In your manifest.json:

"permissions": ["management", "activeTab"]

• management allows for reloading the chrome extension (required)
• activeTab allows for logging status to the current tab (optional)

In your background script:

import "crx-livereload";

Build, watch and see the automagic happen.
