How to make crx extension

1. Command line

$ php vendor/bin/crxbuild.php --extension_dir=<extension dir> --key_file=<private key path> --output_dir=<output dir>

output_dir is an optional. It is your current directory by default. You may also use crxbuild.sh (Linux) and crxbuild.bat (Windows), so it'll look like

$ ./vendor/bin/crxbuild.sh --extension_dir=<extension dir> --key_file=<private key path>

2. PHP

<?php
require 'vendor/autoload.php';

$crxBuild = new CrxBuild(array(
  'extension_dir' => $extensionDirectory,
  'key_file' => $pathToYourPrivateKey,
  'output_dir' => $whereToPlaceZipAndExtensionCrxFiles //optional
));
$crxBuild->build();
