New browser extension
Hi i am newbie in plasmo... if I understand correctly, the extension is a classic react application, so I use react-dom for routing, while the nextjs plugin is not to create the extension with Next, but is just to have an environment with a Nextjs application and the relative extension. It's correct?
My extension bugged out severely
Hi, so I noticed my extension got bugged out alot out of nowhere, I believe it's because of an update as I haven't updated it in a long time. Anyone have any suggestions? Or how I can update plasmo chrome extension?
I am unable to open popup.
I've added src/popup/index.tsx
It's linked inside .plasmo dev build as well. But when I clikc on the extension icon, it doesn't open. I restarted server several times, unloaded and loaded the extention many times, refreshed the browser tab etc, but it doesn't show up. But content script is working perfectly fine.
When I change content script, the page reloads but when I change popup file, no reload. ...
I cannot get content script to work
I add a content script to the firebase auth example and I spent 5 hours just trying to get plasmo to build it but it never recognized the script. I straightup copied the script from the official content-script-example but it never worked, someone help me with this please.
When I check the build folder its just default files, my plasmo refuses to build any of my files...
Would Plasmo help marketing extensions?
maybe just a little further than the showcase thread, would plasmo build some website pages like Recommendation List for ext creators?
Is the built in storage API suitable for larger datasets?
Im building a chrome extension that will need to handle a large set of times the user is meant to provide (likely to be a few thousand rows when parsed in a spreadsheet format)
I was going to use IndexedDB before I remembered the storage API was available but I can’t tell if it’s meant for smaller datasets like options and settings...
Is there a way to get a response body?
Hey y’all 👋 I’m building an extension to help gig drivers quickly batch classify trips on Everlance.
I’ve managed to get a content script working that reads the dates and times from the UI but I’m thinking it’d be more efficient if I could manage to get the UTC formatted date time that’s in the response body.
I’ve tried setting up a background service worker but that returns a 401 error. I’m wondering if there’s another way I can achieve this or if it’s best to stick with my current approach....
Communicating between extensions and other applications
Hey everyone, I wanted to see if anyone has any experience getting a plasmo extension to communicate with another process running on the same machine.
I know I could build a simple web server and communicate with the external application via HTTP, but considering they're both hosted on the same machine, I figured there might be a faster way to communicate between them.
ChatGPT said I could use the following code sample, but I'm currently yet to try it, and I don't know if there's some API I could use instead....
Production and dev build
Hi all, I am having problems with some plasmo components I am using in my content script. For some reason whenever I start the server they dont show, until I console log something into the component. Any help would be appreaciated.
```
import type { PlasmoCSConfig, PlasmoGetInlineAnchor, PlasmoGetOverlayAnchor } from "plasmo"
import cssText from "data-text:~style.css"...
How does sendToContentScript from popup work?
I have 2 buttons on my popup, and when I click them, I want them to send a message to the respective contentscript via the sendToContentScript method, where I have a different function to handle each message.
To do so, I have created different tsx files for each of the contentScripts.
E.g. sendToContentScript({"name" : "generateFields"} is being listened at the generateFields.tsx file and generateFields() function.

Need help getting started?
I've got an idea to add hyperlinks on a catalog page, specific to my university. I'd take a specific html element (the professor names), and hyperlink them with a link to their page.
I'd have a little script that grabs those names, runs them through a script that searches for them on another website (faculty directory), and returns the url when found. How do I get started?...
Receiving end does not exist.
Hey there, new Plasmo user here. I'm trying to pull some information from the DOM (of the currently active tab) and display it in my extension. Should be simple...
I'm getting
Error: Could not establish connection. Receiving end does not exist. when calling sendToContentScript.
I couldn't find any documentation for this function, so hoping you can point me to the right direction. I refreshed all tabs/ reloaded the extension, so I think the error is due to me not understanding how messaging in Plasmo works.....Confirmation email link for supabase template not working

Is there any method to specify when to run content scripts?
I have a content script widget with max z-index, but still it is not at the top all the time. For some websites, it gets covered by widgets present on that site, despite having z-index of 2147483647. I was hoping the way to fix it would be to specify
run_at as document_end. That way it would be at the top of other widget icons. Is there any way to do this?
