# Community WXT Browser Extensions Best Practices

Comprehensive performance optimization guide for WXT browser extension development. Contains 49 rules across 8 categories, prioritized by impact to guide automated refactoring and code generation. Updated for WXT v0.20+.

## When to Apply

Reference these guidelines when:
- Writing new WXT browser extension code
- Implementing service worker background scripts
- Injecting content scripts into web pages
- Setting up messaging between extension contexts
- Configuring manifest permissions and resources

## Rule Categories by Priority

| Priority | Category | Impact | Prefix |
|----------|----------|--------|--------|
| 1 | Service Worker Lifecycle | CRITICAL | `svc-` |
| 2 | Content Script Injection | CRITICAL | `inject-` |
| 3 | Messaging Architecture | HIGH | `msg-` |
| 4 | Storage Patterns | HIGH | `store-` |
| 5 | Bundle Optimization | MEDIUM-HIGH | `bundle-` |
| 6 | Manifest Configuration | MEDIUM | `manifest-` |
| 7 | UI Performance | MEDIUM | `ui-` |
| 8 | TypeScript Patterns | LOW-MEDIUM | `ts-` |

## Quick Reference

### 1. Service Worker Lifecycle (CRITICAL)

- [`svc-register-listeners-synchronously`](references/svc-register-listeners-synchronously.md) - Register listeners synchronously to prevent missed events
- [`svc-avoid-global-state`](references/svc-avoid-global-state.md) - Use storage instead of in-memory state
- [`svc-keep-alive-patterns`](references/svc-keep-alive-patterns.md) - Keep service worker alive for long operations
- [`svc-handle-install-update`](references/svc-handle-install-update.md) - Handle install and update lifecycle events
- [`svc-offscreen-documents`](references/svc-offscreen-documents.md) - Use offscreen documents for DOM operations
- [`svc-declarative-net-request`](references/svc-declarative-net-request.md) - Use declarative rules for network blocking

### 2. Content Script Injection (CRITICAL)

- [`inject-use-main-function`](references/inject-use-main-function.md) - Place runtime code inside main() function
- [`inject-choose-correct-world`](references/inject-choose-correct-world.md) - Select ISOLATED or MAIN world appropriately
- [`inject-run-at-timing`](references/inject-run-at-timing.md) - Configure appropriate runAt timing
- [`inject-use-ctx-invalidated`](references/inject-use-ctx-invalidated.md) - Handle context invalidation on update
- [`inject-dynamic-registration`](references/inject-dynamic-registration.md) - Use runtime registration for conditional injection
- [`inject-all-frames`](references/inject-all-frames.md) - Configure allFrames for iframe handling
- [`inject-spa-navigation`](references/inject-spa-navigation.md) - Handle SPA navigation with wxt:locationchange

### 3. Messaging Architecture (HIGH)

- [`msg-type-safe-messaging`](references/msg-type-safe-messaging.md) - Use @webext-core/messaging for type-safe protocols
- [`msg-return-true-for-async`](references/msg-return-true-for-async.md) - Return true for async message handlers (raw API)
- [`msg-use-tabs-sendmessage`](references/msg-use-tabs-sendmessage.md) - Use tabs.sendMessage for content scripts
- [`msg-use-ports-for-streams`](references/msg-use-ports-for-streams.md) - Use ports for streaming communication
- [`msg-handle-no-receiver`](references/msg-handle-no-receiver.md) - Handle missing message receivers
- [`msg-avoid-circular-messages`](references/msg-avoid-circular-messages.md) - Prevent circular message loops

### 4. Storage Patterns (HIGH)

- [`store-use-define-item`](references/store-use-define-item.md) - Use storage.defineItem for type-safe access
- [`store-choose-storage-area`](references/store-choose-storage-area.md) - Select appropriate storage area
- [`store-batch-operations`](references/store-batch-operations.md) - Group related data into single defineItem
- [`store-watch-for-changes`](references/store-watch-for-changes.md) - Use watch() for reactive updates
- [`store-handle-quota-errors`](references/store-handle-quota-errors.md) - Handle storage quota errors
- [`store-versioned-migrations`](references/store-versioned-migrations.md) - Use versioning for schema migrations

### 5. Bundle Optimization (MEDIUM-HIGH)

- [`bundle-split-entrypoints`](references/bundle-split-entrypoints.md) - Split code by entrypoint
- [`bundle-analyze-size`](references/bundle-analyze-size.md) - Analyze and monitor bundle size
- [`bundle-tree-shake-icons`](references/bundle-tree-shake-icons.md) - Use direct imports for icon libraries
- [`bundle-externalize-wasm`](references/bundle-externalize-wasm.md) - Load WASM dynamically
- [`bundle-minify-content-scripts`](references/bundle-minify-content-scripts.md) - Minimize content script size

### 6. Manifest Configuration (MEDIUM)

- [`manifest-minimal-permissions`](references/manifest-minimal-permissions.md) - Request minimal permissions
- [`manifest-use-optional-permissions`](references/manifest-use-optional-permissions.md) - Use optional permissions progressively
- [`manifest-web-accessible-resources`](references/manifest-web-accessible-resources.md) - Scope web accessible resources
- [`manifest-content-security-policy`](references/manifest-content-security-policy.md) - Configure CSP correctly
- [`manifest-cross-browser-compatibility`](references/manifest-cross-browser-compatibility.md) - Support multiple browsers

### 7. UI Performance (MEDIUM)

- [`ui-use-shadow-dom`](references/ui-use-shadow-dom.md) - Use Shadow DOM for injected UI
- [`ui-defer-rendering`](references/ui-defer-rendering.md) - Defer popup rendering until needed

### 8. TypeScript Patterns (LOW-MEDIUM)

- [`ts-use-imports-module`](references/ts-use-imports-module.md) - Use #imports virtual module and auto-imports
- [`ts-use-browser-not-chrome`](references/ts-use-browser-not-chrome.md) - Use browser namespace over chrome
