File Descriptions and Purposes

Root Directory Files

manifest.json

  • The core configuration file for the Chrome extension
  • Defines extension metadata, permissions, and resource locations
  • Controls how the extension integrates with Chrome
  • Should be placed in the root directory as Chrome requires it

Popup Directory (/popup)

popup.html

  • The main HTML file for the extension's popup interface
  • Opens when users click the extension icon in Chrome
  • Contains the structure for the user interface
  • Located in /popup for better organization

popup.js

  • JavaScript file that handles popup interactivity
  • Controls popup behavior and user interactions
  • Communicates with other extension components
  • Placed alongside popup.html in /popup directory

popup.css

  • Styles the popup interface
  • Contains all CSS for the popup UI components
  • Ensures consistent visual appearance
  • Kept with other popup-related files in /popup

Scripts Directory (/scripts)

gpt.js

  • Contains GPT integration logic
  • Handles API communication and responses
  • Manages trade-related calculations and suggestions
  • Placed in /scripts for better code organization

Assets Directory (/assets)

icon.png

  • Extension icon displayed in Chrome's toolbar
  • Should be a square image (recommended 128x128 pixels)
  • Used in the Chrome Web Store and browser UI
  • Stored in /assets directory for better resource management

Implementation Steps

  1. Create the main project directory web3-trade-helper
  2. Set up all subdirectories (popup, scripts, assets)
  3. Create each file in its designated location
  4. Configure manifest.json to properly reference all files
  5. Add placeholder content for icon.png

Best Practices

  • Keep the folder structure organized and modular
  • Use relative paths in manifest.json
  • Follow Chrome extension security guidelines
  • Maintain clear separation of concerns between files
  • Document any dependencies in manifest.json
