I'm new at building a Chrome extension mv3. Now I'm creating an extension using Typescript as my main language. I've tried to import Es6 modules, but when I loaded the extension, Chrome says that "Uncaught ReferenceError: exports is not defined".
Here's my project structure
| .babelrc
| manifest.json
| package.json
| tsconfig.json
| webpack.config.js
|
+---public
| +---html
| | index.html
| | popup.html
| |
| +---js
| | background.d.ts
| | background.js
| | background.js.map
| | background.utils.d.ts
| | background.utils.js
| | background.utils.js.map
| | index.html
| | main.js
| | popup.d.ts
| | popup.js
| | popup.js.map
| |
| \---styles
| popup.css
|
\---src
| background.ts
| background.utils.ts
| popup.ts
|
\---@types
\---background
index.d.ts
My manifest.json file:
{
"name": "Getting Started Example",
"description": "Build an Extension!",
"version": "1.0",
"manifest_version": 3,
"background": {
"service_worker": "./public/js/background.js",
"persitent": true
},
"action": {
"default_popup": "./public/html/popup.html"
},
"minimum_chrome_version": "92",
"permissions": [
"management",
"scripting",
"activeTab",
"webRequest",
"tabs",
"webNavigation",
"storage"
],
"content_scripts": [
{
"matches": [
"*://*.nytimes.com/*"
],
"js": [
"./public/js/popup.js"
]
}
]
}
My tsconfig.json file:
{
"compilerOptions": {
"target": "es2016",
"module": "commonjs",
"typeRoots": [
"./node_modules/@types"
],
"sourceMap": true,
"outDir": "./public/js",
"sourceRoot": "./src",
"esModuleInterop": true,
"forceConsistentCasingInFileNames": true,
"strict": true,
"skipLibCheck": true
}
}
In my background.utils.ts file:
const myFunction = ()=>{}
export default myFunction
In my background.ts file:
import myFunction from './background.utils/'
But Chromes says that export is not defined even though I've tried serveral methods on Internet like add "type": "module" into the mainifest.json file or remote "module":"commonjs" in tsconfig.json file.
Do you guys have any idea why this happens?
Looking forward to receiving you guys' answers
Thank you so much.
