node chrome webstore

Update and publish chrome extension automatically.

Prepare

If you have refresh_token, you can visit Subsequent calls directly.

Else please follow Using the Chrome Web Store Publish API instructions and come back when you get client id, client secret and code.

Code can only be used once, mainly use refresh token later.

Installation

npm i node-chrome-webstore

Usage

First call

Save refresh token and use it in subsequent calls

const webstore = require('node-chrome-webstore');

const client_id = '';
const client_secret = '';
const code = '';

webstore.auth({
  client_id,
  client_secret,
  code,
});

webstore.items.getRefreshToken().then((token) => {
  console.log(token); // save it
});

Subsequent calls

const webstore = require('node-chrome-webstore');

const client_id = '';
const client_secret = '';
const refresh_token = '';
const itemId = '';
const zipPath = '';

webstore.auth({
  client_id,
  client_secret,
  refresh_token,
});

// update
webstore.items.update(itemId, zipPath).then(res => {
    console.log(res);
});

// publish
webstore.items.publish(itemId).then(res => {
    console.log(res);
});

With dotenv example

dotenv can help to save auth info to .env in project root.

Strongly recommend against committing your .env file to version control. It should be in .gitignore.

.env

client_id=9867219971
client_secret=5d21TdajfIcK
refresh_token=1/jBtQRAjjy
code=4/lgAZRFXy
itemId=eppeghhopeo
zipPath=path/to/zip

Read auth info from .env

const webstore = require('node-chrome-webstore');

require('dotenv').config();

const {
  client_id,
  client_secret,
  refresh_token,
  itemId,
  zipPath,
} = process.env;

webstore.auth({
  client_id,
  client_secret,
  refresh_token,
});

webstore.items.update(itemId, zipPath).then((res) => {
  if (res.uploadState === 'SUCCESS') {
    webstore.items.publish(itemId).then((res) => {
      console.log(res);
    });
  } else {
    console.log(res);
  }
});
