How can I use this awesome package in background.js file of an extension?

KeithHenry commented 5 years ago

@avalanche1 you can use import '../node_modules/chrome-extension-async/chrome-extension-async.js' or you can add a <script> in background.html or add it to the list in the background section of the manifest.

Do you know a way to make import work in chrome extensions?

KeithHenry commented 5 years ago

@avalanche1 import works fine in Chrome extensions, but this library is overwriting an existing API and so applies as a side effect.

import '../node_modules/chrome-extension-async/chrome-extension-async.js'; should work, have you had issues with it?

Thanks for the answer. Although I've decided to write extension files with typescript. So it handles all the imports for me now. Yay!
