Adds a devtools panel to the browser that reads the inspected page.
What you'll see: A panel inside the browser DevTools, reading the inspected page.
How it works: The manifest registers a devtools_page, which has no UI of its own: its only job is to call chrome.devtools.panels.create. The panel it registers is a TypeScript page bundled from src/panel/.
npx extension@latest create my-devtools-typescript --template devtools-typescript
cd my-devtools-typescript
npm install
npm run devA fresh browser window opens with the extension already loaded.

Run the extension in development mode. Target a browser with --browser:
npx extension@latest dev . # Chromium (default)
npx extension@latest dev . --browser=chrome
npx extension@latest dev . --browser=edge
npx extension@latest dev . --browser=firefoxBuild for production:
npx extension@latest build . # Chromium (default)
npx extension@latest build . --browser=firefox
npx extension@latest build . --browser=edgePreview the production build with the bundled browser:
npx extension@latest preview .This template ships an end-to-end check (template.spec.ts) validated by the examples-repo CI on every commit.
