web-accessible-resources-webpack-plugin

This plugin adds filenames in your webpack to the web_accessible_resources clause in your manifest.json. You don't need to maintain a list of images manually anymore.

This is handy when writing chrome extensions, especially when paired with the manifest package loader.

Install

• yarn add -D web-accessible-resources-webpack-plugin

Usage

// webpack.config.js
 
const WebAccessibleResourcesPlugin = require('web-accessible-resources-webpack-plugin')
 
module.exports = {
  ...
  plugins: [
    new WebAccessibleResourcesPlugin(/\.(png|jpg|gif)$/)
  ]
}

Now images required by your source files will be mentioned in web_accessible_resources.

For more flexibility, you can specify a function instead of the regular expression:

  new WebAccessibleResourcesPlugin( (name) => ['a.jpg', 'b.jpg'].includes(name) )

Output

Example output in your manifest.json:

{
  ...
  "web_accessible_resources": [
    "header.png",
    "landscape.jpg",
    "icon.png"
  ]
}
