Migrate to plasmo framework #14

Open naveenann opened 8 months ago

naveenann commented 8 months ago

To enhance our application's compatibility with multiple browsers, it needs to be migrated to the Plasmo framework, moving beyond its current support for only the Chrome Browser

tanmay-d-shah commented 7 months ago

Why should we move to Plasmo framework for our extension ?

Plasmo provides configurable cross browser support for major browsers
Opinionated approach for quick and structured development (Ideal for adding Launcher (CMD + J) and Snippets features)
Configurable packaging and bundling
Automated publishing to extension stores.
Abstractions over storage

Side Effects of moving to plasmo framework:

Maintenance of Plasmo and its associated dependencies

Plan Outline (Tentative) :

Make a new basic plasmo configured extension separately
Add the current background service worker functionality along with cross browser support
Add the current Popup Page functionality
Add the current Options Page functionality
Setup new build action workflows

We can keep this plasmo extension separately without hampering the original extension. Once properly tested and merged, then we can make a release containing the plasmo extension and update readme files.
