Extension Pages

CRXJS provides extension HTML pages with Vite HMR during development and optimizations in a production build. The manifest can declare the most common pages, such as the action popup and the options page, but not every extension page has a place in the manifest.

Extra HTML pages

If you need to declare extra HTML pages beyond those the manifest accommodates, place them in the Vite config under build.rollupOptions.input.

This example includes a welcome page to open when the user installs the extension.

vite.config.ts
export default defineConfig({
build: {
rollupOptions: {
input: {
welcome: 'pages/welcome.html',
},
},
},
})

Vite will serve these input pages during development and include an optimized version of them in the production build.
