Hi, Thanks for the toolkit. I am using it to build my extension, I have hit a road block while adding content_scripts can anyone help me out with it?

You may need to place your extensions original manifest.json into the public folder, so this addon uses that instead of generating it's own manifest.json

@devinrhode2 do you see any particular caveats of placing the entire ember app in content scripts? I think it gives you more control on page placement etc.

devinrhode2 commented 8 years ago

Well first, updatability. Second overall architecture. Do you have any mobile web access for the service? I would try to stick to the standard way of doing things as much as possible. I would recommend putting the ember app inside an iframe, that way to live reload worlflow given to you by ember cli still works.

Then once you have the ember app inside an iframe, use a content script to embed the iframe (this is how tweet/like buttons work)
