#appDir

appDir is the app directory, defaulting to app/. It is used as baseDir for entry and as the root for manifest auto-load.

#Type and default

• Type: string | undefined
• Default: "app" (framework convention)
• Resolved: Framework resolves to an absolute path, e.g. appDir: "src" → path.resolve(root, "src").

#Role

1. baseDir for entry
   All entry paths are relative to appDir. E.g. appDir: "src" and entry: { popup: "popup/index.ts" } → src/popup/index.ts.

2. Entry discovery
   When entry is not set, the framework discovers background, content, popup, options, sidepanel, devtools under appDir by directory name.

3. Manifest auto-load
   When manifest is not set in config, the framework looks for:

   • appDir/manifest.json, appDir/manifest.chromium.json, appDir/manifest.firefox.json
   • appDir/manifest/manifest.json, etc.

#Examples

#App in src/

// addfox.config.ts
import { defineConfig } from "addfox";

export default defineConfig({
  appDir: "src",
  entry: {
    background: "background/index.ts",
    content: "content/index.ts",
    popup: "popup/index.ts",
    options: "options/index.ts",
  },
});

#app/ as source (default)

export default defineConfig({
  // appDir omitted → "app"
  entry: { background: "background/index.ts", popup: "popup/index.ts" },
});
