I am trying to create a chrome extension but have encountered a very annoying but rudimental problem. How to pass data between background.js and popup.js?
I currently have this code in background.js that listens to URL updates and prints it to the console. I basically want to pass the URL to popup.js everytime it updates.
This is my code:
// background.js
let activeTabId, lastUrl, lastTitle;
function getTabInfo(tabId) {
if (db) {
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
chrome.tabs.get(tabId, function (tab) {
if (lastUrl != tab.url || lastTitle != tab.title)
console.log((lastUrl = tab.url), (lastTitle = tab.title));
lastUrl = tab.url;
resolve(true);
});
});
}
}
chrome.tabs.onActivated.addListener(function (activeInfo) {
getTabInfo((activeTabId = activeInfo.tabId));
});
chrome.tabs.onUpdated.addListener(function (tabId, changeInfo, tab) {
if (activeTabId == tabId) {
getTabInfo(tabId);
}
});
