I would like to create a package app chrome extension to allow the user to write and execute javascript code (like a javascript console).
I would like to use the eval() function to execute the JS code.
The classic javascript eval function throws an error when it's called from a chrome extension:
Uncaught Error: Code generation from strings disallowed for this context
To use eval in a chrome extension people need to use a sandbox, but when I write the sandbox in the manifest I get this error:
There were warnings when trying to install this extension: 'sandbox' is not allowed for specified package type (theme, app, etc.).
UPDATE
According to this issue, sandboxes are not supported for package apps, so I have two questions:
Is there another method which I can use instead of
eval()?Is it possible to use
evalwithout a sandbox? (I think probably not for security reasons?)
