How do i get the local storage value in background page?
I am newbie as far as developing chrome extension is concerned.
I am testing an extension. In this i have a background page and options page. In options page i am storing user entered password in local storage which i want to retrieve in the background page that is on click of browser icon.
My options page is :
<html>
<head>
<title>Options for Password</title>
<script>
function savePassword()
{
window.localStorage.setItem('password', txtPassword.value);
}
</script>
</head>
<body >
<h1>Enter Password</h1>
<input type='password' name='txtPassword' id='txtPassword'/>
<br />
<button onclick='savePassword();'>Save</button>
<br />
</body>
</html>
And my background page is:
<html>
<head>
<script>
// Called when the user clicks on the browser action.
chrome.browserAction.onClicked.addListener(function(tab) {
chrome.tabs.executeScript(null, {code:"alert('password from tab:'+window.localStorage.getItem('password'开发者_开发技巧));getfeedback_dialog_submitButton.setAttribute('onclick', 'if(gettext.value==\'"+window.localStorage.getItem(password)'+"\'){document.body.removeChild(getfeedbackcontainer);document.body.removeChild(getfeedbackoverlay);}');"});
});
</script>
</head>
</html>
When i save password through options page and then i click on browser action then i am getting the alert password from tab:null.
I am confused how to retrieve the value stored in the local storage?
Your code gets the localStorage value from the page where the browser action is clicked, where it is null
. Change your quotes to get it at the background page:
chrome.tabs.executeScript(null, {code:"alert('password from tab:"+window.localStorage.getItem('password')+"');"});
Note that this may allow for code injection.
EDIT: Do this, it should work as long as your variables are defined properly and window.localStorage.getItem('password')
is expected to be a string:
chrome.tabs.executeScript(null, {code:"alert('password from tab:"+window.localStorage.getItem('password')+"');"
+"getfeedback_dialog_submitButton.addEventListener('click', function(event){if(gettext.value=='"+window.localStorage.getItem('password')+"')"
+"{document.body.removeChild(getfeedbackcontainer);document.body.removeChild(getfeedbackoverlay);}},false);"});
I split your code into multiple lines for readability.
