Super-lightweight Promised wrapper around
chrome.*
APIs to be used in modules.
✅ Use this module when publishing your own micro-modules. This avoids having to import webextension-polyfill
as a sub-dependency.
❌ Do not use this module if you need promised APIs directly in your extension. webextension-polyfill
is much safer.
⚠️ This package isn't completely safe to use because it blindly wraps the chrome.*
APIs whether it supports them or not.
Please test your module in every browser before assuming it works, or prefer webextension-polyfill
.
npm install webext-polyfill-kinda
import chromeP from 'webext-polyfill-kinda';
(async () => {
// Cases where the API works
const currentTab = await chromeP.tabs.getCurrent();
const options = await chromeP.storage.local.get('options');
// Do not use `chromeP` when dealing with listeners, it doesn't make sense. Use the native `chrome.*` API
chrome.tabs.onUpdated.addListener(listener);
})();
chromeP
will reuse the global chrome
type if it exists. The suggested solution is to also install this, the types will be automatically available.
npm install @types/chrome --save-dev
