Example Usage

To run the example that is included in this repo, first install browserify and beefy:

npm install -g browserify beefy

Then run npm start to run the example.

NOTE: Because the example is attempting to use inline installation to install the rtc.io screensharing extension (as an example) you will need to set a host entry for local.rtc.io to point to localhost. This is because inline installation is only allowed for specific domains on any particular extension.

Once you have everything setup goto http://local.rtc.io:9966 and take the example for a spin. If you are interested in the code, it's shown below:

JS:

var h = require('hyperscript');
var extension = require('chromex/client')({
  target: 'rtc.io screenshare'
});
 
var installButton = h('button', 'Install Extension', { onclick: function() {
  chrome.webstore.install();
}});
 
function informReady() {
  document.body.appendChild(h('div', 'ready to go!'));
}
 
// detect whether the extension is installed
extension.installed(function(err) {
  var actions = document.getElementById('actions');
 
  if (err) {
    return actions.appendChild(installButton);
  }
});
 
// on install show the capture button and remove the install button if active
extension.on('activate', function() {
  if (installButton.parentNode) {
    installButton.parentNode.removeChild(installButton);
  }
 
  informReady();
});
