[RFC] plasmo.config.ts

[louisgv]

How do you envision this feature/change to look/work like?

Support a typed configuration file, mainly for manifest override, and other cool stuffs (?).

• Override build destination paths
• Override entry file paths (https://discord.com/channels/946290204443025438/1022829061476728852/1022829065826205706)
• Override manifest file (WITH TYPING!)
• Compose CSP with typing/linting than just raw string

What is the purpose of this change/feature? Why?

Working with the manifest override (or manifest in general) SUCKS BALLS!?

This would be really helpful when using plasmo within the nx monorepo. The nx monorepo keeps a single package.json at the repo-root to keep packages and versions aligned, along with caching various aspects of the repo.

Having the plasmo manifest overrides living in a different file would allow me to integrate plasmo into an nx monorepo a bit more effectively.

Override entry file paths

Looking forward to this feature. This would also make #356 more flexible, to support any extension the users want.

Would very much like to pull the plasmo-related stuff out of package.json 🙏

1. package.json doesn't support code comments
2. plasmo.config.ts allows developers to use the chrome.runtime.ManifestV3 type in @types/chrome for faster error detection. It is also possible to export the type of a custom command to use it in service_worker.
