Chrome Extension Development

Example Extension Folder Structure

-<root_folder>
|- manifest.json
|- popup.html
|- background.js
|- content.js

Tips

  • 由于 Chrome 的安全限制,Popup 页等 html 里不能使用 inline js 和 inline DOM level 0 event 定义(即 html内联的 onclick="..." 风格 event handler)。所有 js 代码必须写在单独的外部文件里然后通过 <script src="..."></script> 引用。
  • 右击 Chrome omnibar 里的扩展图标选择“Inspect Popup”可以打开 Chrome Developer Tool 调试 Popup 页面

Manifest

manifest.json

其中引用的 popup.html, background.js 等均为相对扩展根目录的相对路径。

{
    "name": "Demo Extension",
    "description": "demo extension",
    "version": "1.0.0",
    "author": "Foo Bar",
    "manifest_version": 2,
    "permissions": ["tabs"],
    "browser_action": {
      "default_title": "Demo extension",
      "default_popup": "popup.html"
    },
    "background": {
      "scripts": ["background.js"],
      "persistent": true
    },
    "content_scripts": [
        {
          "js": [
            "content.js"
          ],
          "matches": [
            "http://*/*",
            "https://*/*"
          ],
          "run_at": "document_start",
          "all_frames": false
        }
    ]
}

Popup <-> Background interaction

Popup 与 Background 位于同一进程,可以直接通信。

in Popup:

chrome.extension.getBackgroundPage().variable = 42;

in Background:

var popups = chrome.extension.getViews({type: "popup"});
if (0 < popups.length)
  popups[0].variable = 42;

Content Script -> Background

in Content Script:

chrome.runtime.sendMessage({text: "hey"}, function(response) {
    console.log("Response: ", response);
});

in Background:

chrome.runtime.onMessage.addListener(function(msg, sender, sendResponse) {
    // sender.tab.id
    console.log("Received %o from %o, frame", msg, sender.tab, sender.frameId);
    sendResponse("Gotcha!");
});

另,很多 API,如 chrome.storage,支持在 Content Scripts 里直接调用。

Background / Popup -> Content Script

Background:

chrome.tabs.sendMessage(tabId, message, (response) => {
  console.log(response);
});

Content Script:

chrome.runtime.onMessage.addListener((message, sender, sendResponse) => {
  console.log(message);
  sendResponse({});
});

这种方法需要知道目标 tab 的 id, 参考下面.

Track current active tab in Background

Background:

var data = {
  tabId: '',
};

chrome.tabs.onActivated.addListener(({tabId, windowId}) => {
  data.tabId = tabId;
  chrome.tabs.get(tabId, ({status, title, url}) => {
    // get tab details
  });
});

Track tab content change

监测 Tab 页内容变化(如 url 变化即代表点击了一个链接等)

// 回调函数的参数类型为object,其各属性均为 optional, 为发生变动项的新值
// status: loading|complete
chrome.tabs.onUpdated.addListener(async (tabId, {status, title, url}) => {
  if( url ) {

  }
});
