HTML5 Local Storage, how to pass variables?
Ok, here is my problem. I am writing a Chrome extension, it's almost done, but the problem is, for example:
[Page popup.html]
localStorage["code"] = "alert('Hello!');";
[File injection.js; which will be called everytime a page is loaded, content script I think]
localStorage["code"] = (localStorage["code"] != undefined) ? localStorage["code"] : "alert('Default!');";
eval(localStorage["code"]);
I have tried 2 methods, the first thing is to NOT OPEN THE POP UP, so that 开发者_如何学编程every page I load would run command alert("Default!"); and it works. Then I tried to load the popup first, and I realize that the variable localStorage["code"]
is now up to the page I load, not to my extenstion anymore. In a quick explanation, in my extension, localStorage["code"] == "alert('Hello');";
but in http://google.com localStorage["code"] == "";
or in http://facebook.com localStorage["code"] == "";
.
My question is, is there anyway to store localStorage["code"] from popup.html that injection.js can access?
Three are 2 kinds of local storages - one belongs to extension itself (can be accessed only from a background page, popup page or any page bundled into extension package), another one belongs to the site (can be accessed only from a content script).
So if you need to access local storage value that was set in a popup from a content script, you need to send a request to a background page, read the value there, and send it back to a content script. How to do that is explained in Message Passing doc.
Check this out :
Content-Script :
chrome.extension.sendRequest({ action : "getCode" }, function(response) {
alert(response.getCode);
});
Background Page :
chrome.extension.onRequest.addListener(function(request, sender, sendResponse)
{
case "getCode":
sendResponse({ getCode: localStorage['code'] });
break;
}
