chrome-runtime-connect

Purpose

Disclaimer: This is incomplete for now, still a work in progress but nonetheless usable for simple cases.

This package allows to test the communication between a background page and a content script. It emulates the chomer.runtime.Port interface (doc.

Install

yarn add chrome-runtime-connect

Usage

// a. Call this to extend the global scope with `chrome.runtime`
require('chrome-runtime-connect/register');

// b. Or call this to have a `runtime` object
const chromeRuntime = require('chrome-runtime-connect')();

Since the runtime API is exposed globally (using method a), in your tests your content scripts will be able to use the runtime API as-is.

Note: This is most useful when used it combination of a browser implementation such as jsdom.

TODO

• [ ] Add tests
• [ ] Implement the rest of the API (eg. disconnect)
