web-extension polyfill not supported

[varundey]

First of all thanks for this package. I have recently started with parcel and this plugin has been a lot of help.

Since I want my extension to have cross browser support, I am using web-extension polyfill in building my extension. I have added this polyfill in my manifest.json but parcel-web-ext transpiles it to to a parcelRequire function due to which this polyfill comes up as undefined in my extension. I was thinking if we could have a flag to avoid transpiling any such files inside a particular directory (say thirdparty in my case) and just copy them as such to destination directory.

Any updates on this?

In the mean time, you can simply do the following:

yarn add webextension-polyfill

and in your code

import browser from 'webextension-polyfill';

and use it from there!
