2 months ago Hi @code4you2021, I'd like to have similar helper libs implemented as well or at least document use-cases and reference existing alternatives such as the ones you provided. For now, these modules seem to be the most requested:
- Handling message passing across contexts (like you mentioned)
- Handling storages (like you mentioned)
- Auth middleware for existing auth tools (next-auth, auth0, etc)
I don't have immediate plans for this but feel free to propose something or provide some guidance of how you would like to see this implemented/API suggestions. I'm currently working on browser support, so having built-in support for them is unlikely in the near future. Would accept pull-requests for someone who might want to implement something. Packages live in /packages and there is a CONTRIBUTE guide that might help the adventurous :)
In development, we often deal with storage and message passing. Can extension.js provide some methods to make the development process more efficient?
