Multiple JS files in Chrome Extension - how to load them?

Question

I\'ve wrote a Chrome Extension. My background.js file is quite large, so I want to split it to smaller parts and load specified methods when required (some kind of lazy-loading)

Answer 1

You can also do this the extremely easy way that is described here: https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/background_pages#manifest

{
  "name": "My extension",
  ...
  "background": {
    "scripts": [
      "lib/fileone.js",
      "lib/filetwo.js",
      "background.js"
    ]
  },
  ...
}

You won't be doing lazy loading, but it does allow you to break your code up into multiple files and specify the order in which they are loaded onto the background page.
