Usage

``
pnpm create plasmo example-dir
cd example-dir
pnpm dev
`

The road ahead is filled with many turns.

- Popup changes go in popup.tsx
- Options page changes go in options.tsx
- Content script changes go in content.ts
- Background service worker changes go in background.ts

You can also organize these files in their own directories:

`
ext-dir
├───assets
| └───icon.png
├───popup
| ├───index.tsx
| └───button.tsx
├───options
| ├───index.tsx
| ├───utils.ts
| └───input.tsx
├───contents
| ├───site-one.ts
| ├───site-two.ts
| └───site-three.ts
...
`

Finally, you can also avoid putting source code in your root directory by putting them in a src sub-directory, following this guide. Note that assets` and other config files will still need to be in the root directory.
