Chrome Extension: Migrate to Vue.js setup with Webpack and NPM (lol this will never happen) (ay larmbox) (can somebody remove this lolissue?) (hey nathan if you're ever on here remove this)

[FilmCoder]

Right now we're just coding everything in Vanilla JS, but I'd like to pull Vue.js in along with webpack and NPM to keep things cleaner.

With Vue.JS/webpack, we can design the popup UI in a cleaner way, and with NPM we can manage dependencies automically without downloading libraries manually and storing them in the libraries folder.

Instructions: https://www.sitepoint.com/build-vue-chrome-extension/

I think this will basically required a complete startover, most likely I'll start from scratch and override everything. The issue is that the hierarchy of all the files will change.

One thing this will change is that instead of being able to open the chrome_extension folder directly, we'd need to "build" our chrome_extension with webpack into a /build folder, and then open that build folder with Chrome. Because Chrome won't know how to deal with .Vue files.

OH, and we can use the latest greatest javascript without having to worry, Babel can compile it downsies for us 🗡
