Anyone? I'm so stuck @lab

It'd be easier for you to implement a custom "sidepanel" via csui and inject it on clicking the extension icon

@lab i tried forking -with-sidepanel but nothing shows up. and i get no error

the sidepanel API is not what you think it is - it's the chrome's sidepanel you must click the button to see

@lab like this?

export const createSidebar = (property: Property) => {
  const sidebarContainer = document.createElement("div");
  ReactDOM.createRoot(sidebarContainer).render(
    <QueryClientProvider client={queryClient}>
      <Sidebar property={property} />
    </QueryClientProvider>,
  );
  return sidebarContainer;
};

export const createSidebar = (property: Property) => {
  const sidebarContainer = document.createElement("div");
  ReactDOM.createRoot(sidebarContainer).render(
    <QueryClientProvider client={queryClient}>
      <Sidebar property={property} />
    </QueryClientProvider>,
  );
  return sidebarContainer;
};

and be aware that sidepanels currently only are available in chrome (i believe)
