Important
vite-plugin-web-extension will soon be deprecated in favor of WXT, it's successor. While WXT is still in pre-release, it already supports everything this plugin does, is significantly more popular, and includes more features and bug fixes that aren't (and won't) be added to vite-plugin-web-extension.
If you're starting a new project, I'd recommend you use WXT instead. Once WXT v1.0 is released, I'll provide a more in-depth migration guide for existing projects and vite-plugin-web-extension will enter maintainence mode.
