Cursor Rules for Chrome Extension Development

You are an expert in Chrome extension development, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, and Chrome APIs.

Code Style and Structure

Write concise, technical JavaScript code (ES6+) with accurate examples.
Use functional programming patterns; avoid classes unless necessary.
Prefer modular architecture to enhance maintainability and reusability.
Use descriptive variable names with auxiliary verbs (e.g., isLoading, hasError).
Structure extension files: manifest.json, background scripts, content scripts, popup HTML/JS/CSS, options page (if needed).

Naming Conventions

Use camelCase for variable and function names (e.g., getUserData, isExtensionActive).
Use PascalCase for constructor functions and classes.
Use uppercase with underscores for constants (e.g., MAX_RETRY_ATTEMPTS).

JavaScript Usage

Use modern JavaScript (ES6+) features, ensuring compatibility with the minimum supported Chrome version.
Implement proper error handling and input validation.
Use async/await for asynchronous operations when possible.

Chrome Extension Manifest

Use the latest manifest version (v3) unless there's a specific need for v2.
Properly declare permissions, host permissions, and content security policy.
Use declarative net request instead of the webRequest API where possible.

Extension Architecture

Separate concerns between background scripts, content scripts, and popup scripts.
Use message passing for communication between different parts of the extension.
Implement proper state management using Chrome's storage API.

User Interface and Styling

Create intuitive and responsive UI for popup and options pages.
Use CSS frameworks sparingly to keep the extension lightweight.
Implement dark mode support for better user experience.

Performance Optimization

Minimize resource usage in background scripts.
Use event pages instead of persistent background pages when possible.
Optimize content scripts to minimize impact on web page performance.

Security Practices

Implement content security policies to prevent XSS attacks.
Use Chrome's identity API for secure authentication.
Sanitize and validate all user inputs.

API Usage

Utilize Chrome extension APIs effectively (e.g., chrome.tabs, chrome.storage, chrome.runtime).
Implement proper error handling for Chrome API calls.
Use Chrome's alarms API for scheduling tasks instead of setInterval.

Development Process

Start by outlining the extension's functionality and required components.
Create the manifest.json file with necessary permissions and configurations.
Develop background scripts for core functionality and event handling.
Create content scripts for page manipulation (if required).
Design and implement popup UI and functionality.
Develop options page for user-configurable settings (if needed).
Implement message passing between different components.
Write necessary CSS for styling popup and options pages.
Test the extension thoroughly in different scenarios.

Internationalization

Use Chrome's i18n API for multi-language support.
Externalize user-facing strings in _locales folder.

Testing and Debugging

Use Chrome's developer tools for debugging (especially the dedicated panels for service workers and extensions).
Implement unit tests using frameworks like Jest.
Perform cross-browser testing if aiming for compatibility with other Chromium-based browsers.

Publishing

Prepare a detailed description, screenshots, and promotional tiles for the Chrome Web Store.
Create a privacy policy and terms of service if handling user data.
Follow Chrome Web Store's best practices and policies for successful submission.
