how to read cookies with browser extension - javascript

I want a browser extension to read the cookies of a webpage. I want also want the extension only to work on that particular webpage. So i have a button, load cookies and a background.js file:
chrome.extension.getBackgroundPage().console.log("loaded");
function getCookies(domain, name) {
chrome.extension.getBackgroundPage().console.log("loading cookeis");
chrome.cookies.getAll({ url: domain }, function (cookies) {
chrome.extension.getBackgroundPage().console.log(cookies);
});
// return await chrome.cookies.getAll();
}
getCookies(window.location.href, "csrftoken");
document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function () {
chrome.extension.getBackgroundPage().console.log("loading cookeis");
const loadCookies = document.getElementById("load_cookies");
// onClick's logic below:
loadCookies.addEventListener("click", function () {
getCookies(window.location.href, "x");
});
});
But it does seem like this does not get loaded.
I also get this, which lets me know that the worker is not loaded.
Manifest.json:
{
"manifest_version": 3,
"name": "Management Extension",
"short_name": "Management",
"version": "1",
"description": "A management tool ",
"permissions": ["cookies"],
"background": {
"service_worker": "background.js"
},
"action": {
"default_popup": "index.html"
}
}

Chrome extension: Content script not picking up changes to chrome.storage

I'm trying to build an extension to monitor the xhr portion of the devtools network tab. With some help , I have been able to get the requests to be displayed on the service-worker console and I can log the Post requests. I'm also now saving the data "point" in chrome.storage. My next step is to read the data from chrome.storage.local, and have the content script log it to the console. However although I am getting no errors, I don't see any output in the console. No errors seen though. What am I doing wrong?
manifest.json:
{
"manifest_version": 3,
"version": "1.0",
"name": "Hello World!",
"description": "Learning how to make a chrome extension!",
"icons": {
"16": "images/puppy16.png",
"48": "images/puppy48.png",
"128": "images/puppy128.png"
},
"action": {
"default_icon": "images/puppy.png",
"default_popup": "popup.html"
},
"background": {
"service_worker": "background.js"
},
"host_permissions": ["*://*.cnn.com/"],
"permissions": ["webRequest", "activeTab","tabs"],
"content_scripts": [
{
"matches": ["*://cnn.com/*"],
"js": ["popup.js"]
}
]
}
In my background.js:
(function () {
var point;
chrome.webRequest.onBeforeRequest.addListener(
function (details) {
// Use this to decode the body of your post
const postedString = decodeURIComponent(String.fromCharCode.apply(null,
new Uint8Array(details.requestBody.raw[0].bytes)));
console.log(postedString)
const body = JSON.parse(postedString);
point = body.CenterPoint.Point;
console.log(point);
chrome.storage.local.set({ 'key': point }, function () {
console.log('Value is set to ' + point);
});
},
{ urls: [url] },
["requestBody"]
);
})();
popup.js:
chrome.storage.onChanged.addListener(function (changes, namespace) {
for (let [key, { oldValue, newValue }] of Object.entries(changes)) {
console.log(
`Storage key "${key}" in namespace "${namespace}" changed.`,
`Old value was "${oldValue}", new value is "${newValue}".`
);
}
});

How to activate/deactivate chrome extension with keyboard shortcut (development)

I'm trying to set a keyboard shortcut to active/deactivate my Chrome extension that I'm developing. The Chrome extension just consists of a "content_script" that runs on certain sites. I want it to fully activate/deactivate the extension, like if I were to disable it via Chrome://extensions.
In my search for answers, I saw a lot of suggestions to add "_execute_browser_action" to my manifest.json, but I think this command requires a listener that needs to be set up in background.js (correct me if I'm wrong). I want to avoid a background.js if possible, as I want to keep this extension short and sweet.
Here is my manifest.json:
{
"manifest_version": 2,
"name": "foo",
"description": "foo",
"version": "0.1.0",
"commands": {
"_execute_browser_action": {
"suggested_key": {
"default": "Ctrl+Shift+8"
}
}
},
"content_scripts": [{
"js": ["./dist/bundle.js"],
"matches": [ ...certain sites... ]
}],
"icons": {
"16": "/icons/logo16.png",
"32": "/icons/logo32.png",
"48": "/icons/logo48.png",
"128": "/icons/logo128.png"
}
}
With this manifest.json, the shortcut shows up in Chrome://extensions/shortcuts, but the shortcut does nothing. When I press the combination, nothing happens. Even when I refresh the page, reload extension, re-bundle, restart Chrome, etc.
How should I go about adding this keyboard shortcut?
Also, I'm using Babel/Webpack, if that helps.
I ended up solving my own issue. Updating here in case it helps anyone else.
It turns out a background.js was exactly what I was looking for. My background script sets a chrome.storage API field, triggered by browserAction, which my content_script then ingests to toggle it on/off. Then the page is refreshed to update the page html. (Inspiration taken from here)
background.js:
var x = true
enableBrowserAction()
function disableBrowserAction() {
chrome.storage.local.set({enabled: false})
}
function enableBrowserAction() {
chrome.storage.local.set({enabled: true})
}
function updateState() {
if (x == false) {
x = true
enableBrowserAction()
} else {
x = false
disableBrowserAction()
}
chrome.tabs.reload()
}
chrome.browserAction.onClicked.addListener(updateState)
manifest.json (with only the necessary fields):
{
"manifest_version": 2,
"browser_action": {},
"commands": {
"_execute_browser_action": {
"suggested_key": {
"default": "Ctrl+Shift+8"
}
}
},
"permissions": [
"storage"
],
"background": {
"scripts": ["background.js"]
},
"content_scripts": [{
"js": ["./dist/bundle.js"],
"matches": [ ...certain sites... ]
}]
}
content_script (entry for bundle.js):
import ServiceHandler from './ServiceHandler.js'
chrome.storage.local.get('enabled', data => {
if (data.enabled) {
const sh = new ServiceHandler()
sh.execute()
}
})

Get button clicked with chrome extension

I want to know how to detect if a button with a certain id is clicked on a webpage with my chrome extension.
With my code I have an error saying that my element is undefined.
Here is my manifest :
{
"manifest_version": 2,
"name": "app",
"description": "my app",
"version": "1.0",
"browser_action": {
"default_icon": "icon.png",
"default_popup": "popup.html",
"default_title": "Changer le background"
},
"permissions": [
"activeTab",
"storage"
]
}
And my popup.js file :
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => {
getCurrentTabUrl((url) => {
document.getElementById('mybutton').addEventListener('click', function() {
var script = "console.log('clicked');";
chrome.tabs.executeScript({code: script});
});
});
});
your popup.js will not load until the user himself will click on the extension's icon... i think you should change your approach and use a content-script like this:
document.getElementById('mybutton').addEventListener('click', function() {
console.log('clicked');
});
you'll need to update your manifest.json for using a content script, something like that:
"content_scripts": [
{
"matches": ["the url of a page for the script", "the url of another page"],
"js": ["your_script.js"]
}
],

deleteUrl not working in chrome extensions history API

I'm trying to write an extension to delete some URLs from my history when they are navigated to. Here are the relevant files -
manifest.json
{
"manifest_version": 2,
"name": "Secret",
"description": "Browser History Edits.",
"version": "0.1",
"browser_action": {
},
"background": {
"scripts": ["background.js"]
},
"permissions": [
"webNavigation",
"history",
"tabs"
]
}
background.js
var prevent_logging_keywords = ["reddit", "stackoverflow"]
chrome.webNavigation.onBeforeNavigate.addListener(function(details) {
var currentUrl = details.url;
prevent_logging_keywords.forEach(function(keyword) {
if (currentUrl.includes(keyword)) {
console.log(currentUrl);
chrome.history.deleteUrl({ "url": currentUrl}, function(){});
}
});
});
However, this does not work. The URL still shows up in my history and, what's more, the console.log is also never called. What am I doing wrong?

execCommand not working in chrome extension

I am using paste execCommand to get the system clipboard data.
document.execCommand("Paste", null, null);
var paste = pasteTarget.innerText;
I am trying to read data in every one sec delay, but pasteTarget.innerText is always returning null.
I am executing the above code in the handle message from native client. It seems this code is not executing on background page. How to execute the code in background page?
I am using the pepper API example(nacl_sdk\pepper_35\examples\api\input_event).
common.js
function getClipboard() {
var pasteTarget = document.createElement("div");
pasteTarget.contentEditable = true;
var actElem = document.activeElement.appendChild(pasteTarget).parentNode;
pasteTarget.focus();
document.execCommand("Paste", null, null);
var paste = pasteTarget.innerText;
console.log("paste = " + paste);
actElem.removeChild(pasteTarget);
return paste;
};
Whenever right button is clicked I am trying to get the clipboard data. But always null is returned.
