How can I package JSON files with my chrome extension?

I have created an extension containing a pre-existing javascript file. This javascript file requires a json config file in the same directory, but putting that file in the same directory in the extension folder didn't work. Is there some special way I have to do thi开发者_如何学Cs?

This problem also proved IMPOSSIBLE to Google since all extensions needs a json manifest file.

Try adding it in the content_scripts section of the manifest.json.

  "content_scripts": [
    {
      "matches": ["https://*/*", "http://*/*"],
      "js": ["extension.js", "config.json"],
      "run_at": "document_start",
      "all_frames": true
    }
  ],
