Add some configuration options

[HuiiBuh]

First if all. I love your work. I was just amazed how easy the extension was created.

The only thing i am missing is some configuration options regarding the location of the files.
I would suggest to add an. env file in which you can specify the location of the options/popup/... location.

I had a quick look at thr source code and it looks like you just have to modify the packages/react-scripts/config/paths.js. I would like to create a PR in which some configuration options for the location het added.

yeah I'd love to have an option to exclude contentScript, options folder or w/e is unnecessary for specific extenstion

Hi, thanks for your comments. I think they're great discussions to have and decide on.

The only thing i am missing is some configuration options regarding the location of the files.

What's the main reason/use cases why you think it's important to have this configuration? I'm looking to understand if there's something which justifies more configuration for something that isn't personal preference.

The reason I ask is because generally both CRA + this repo want to "standardise" the simple cases. If one wants to build with a different structure, there's no problem with ejecting, however, by having the same structure, it keeps all projects created with create-react-extension the same and predictable within the community. Same way that all create-react-app projects are within the src folder.

The reason I would like to modify the paths is that there are so many entry points in create-react-extension in comparison to create-react-app.
And if I would like to structure these different entry points differently than the default structure I would have to eject which I really don't want to do for such a small change.
I would certainly keep a default configuration which most people could use without even knowing that there are more configuration options available and a more advanced config for people who would like to customize their project a bit more.
This would be possible with an env file and a concept like this is already used by cra if you would like to disable the browser opening on every app start.

I'm glad that I found this issue. I am missing this config file, for the same reasons.
