Sure, I'd be happy to help! It looks like you're trying to create a new instance of the

PlasmoCSConfig

PlasmoCSConfig

class, but it's not working because

PlasmoCSConfig

PlasmoCSConfig

is a type, not a constructor. To create a new instance of the

PlasmoCSConfig

PlasmoCSConfig

class, you'll need to use the

new

new

keyword with the constructor function.

Here's an example of how you can create a custom

PlasmoCSConfig

PlasmoCSConfig

object and calculate the

matches

matches

property when the tsx file is loaded:

import { PlasmoCSConfig } from 'plasmo';

// Define your custom config object
const myConfig = new PlasmoCSConfig({
  // Set your custom properties here
  // ...
});

// Calculate the matches property when the tsx file is loaded
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => {
  const matches = calculateMatches();
  myConfig.matches = matches;
});

// Function to calculate the matches property
function calculateMatches() {
  // ...
}

import { PlasmoCSConfig } from 'plasmo';

// Define your custom config object
const myConfig = new PlasmoCSConfig({
  // Set your custom properties here
  // ...
});

// Calculate the matches property when the tsx file is loaded
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => {
  const matches = calculateMatches();
  myConfig.matches = matches;
});

// Function to calculate the matches property
function calculateMatches() {
  // ...
}

import { PlasmoCSConfig } from 'plasmo';

// Define your custom config object
const myConfig = new PlasmoCSConfig({
  // Set your custom properties here
  // ...
});

// Calculate the matches property when the tsx file is loaded
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => {
  const matches = calculateMatches();
  myConfig.matches = matches;
});

// Function to calculate the matches property
function calculateMatches() {
  // ...
}

import { PlasmoCSConfig } from 'plasmo';

// Define your custom config object
const myConfig = new PlasmoCSConfig({
  // Set your custom properties here
  // ...
});

// Calculate the matches property when the tsx file is loaded
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => {
  const matches = calculateMatches();
  myConfig.matches = matches;
});

// Function to calculate the matches property
function calculateMatches() {
  // ...
}

In this example, we import the

PlasmoCSConfig

PlasmoCSConfig

class from the

plasmo

plasmo

package and create a new instance of it with our custom properties. We then add an event listener to the

DOMContentLoaded

DOMContentLoaded

event, which fires when the tsx file is loaded. In the event listener, we call a function to calculate the

matches

matches

property and set it on our custom config object.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions. Also, did you know that the name "Plasmo" comes from the Greek word for "moldable"? It's a fitting name for a library that allows you to mold your code to your needs!

P

Pallas•6/3/23, 8:01 PM

Certainly! To define an export config object inside a promise, you can use the

export

export

keyword within the promise's callback function. Here's an example:

const myPromise = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
  const myConfig = {
    option1: true,
    option2: false
  };

  export { myConfig };

  resolve();
});

myPromise.then(() => {
  console.log('Exported myConfig object!');
});

const myPromise = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
  const myConfig = {
    option1: true,
    option2: false
  };

  export { myConfig };

  resolve();
});

myPromise.then(() => {
  console.log('Exported myConfig object!');
});

const myPromise = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
  const myConfig = {
    option1: true,
    option2: false
  };

  export { myConfig };

  resolve();
});

myPromise.then(() => {
  console.log('Exported myConfig object!');
});

const myPromise = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
  const myConfig = {
    option1: true,
    option2: false
  };

  export { myConfig };

  resolve();
});

myPromise.then(() => {
  console.log('Exported myConfig object!');
});

In this example, we create a new promise and define our

myConfig

myConfig

object within the promise's callback function. We then use the

export

export

keyword to export the

myConfig

myConfig

object. Finally, we resolve the promise and log a message to the console to confirm that the object was exported.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.

P

Pallas•6/4/23, 1:25 AM

Certainly! In Plasmo, you can inject dynamic declarations on config for content script by using the

chrome.contentScripts.register

chrome.contentScripts.register

API. Here's an example:

chrome.contentScripts.register({
  matches: ['https://www.example.com/*'],
  js: [{file: 'content.js'}],
  css: [{file: 'content.css'}],
  runAt: 'document_end',
  allFrames: true,
  excludeGlobs: ['**/exclude/**']
});

chrome.contentScripts.register({
  matches: ['https://www.example.com/*'],
  js: [{file: 'content.js'}],
  css: [{file: 'content.css'}],
  runAt: 'document_end',
  allFrames: true,
  excludeGlobs: ['**/exclude/**']
});

chrome.contentScripts.register({
  matches: ['https://www.example.com/*'],
  js: [{file: 'content.js'}],
  css: [{file: 'content.css'}],
  runAt: 'document_end',
  allFrames: true,
  excludeGlobs: ['**/exclude/**']
});

chrome.contentScripts.register({
  matches: ['https://www.example.com/*'],
  js: [{file: 'content.js'}],
  css: [{file: 'content.css'}],
  runAt: 'document_end',
  allFrames: true,
  excludeGlobs: ['**/exclude/**']
});

In this example, we're registering a content script that will run on all frames of any page that matches the URL pattern

https://www.example.com/*

https://www.example.com/*

. The

js

js

and

css

css

properties specify the files that should be injected into the page. The

runAt

runAt

property specifies when the script should be injected (in this case, at the end of the document). The

allFrames

allFrames

property specifies whether the script should run in all frames of the page. Finally, the

excludeGlobs

excludeGlobs

property specifies any URL patterns that should be excluded from the content script.

I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any further questions. Also, did you know that the name "Plasmo" comes from the Greek word for "moldable"? It's a nod to the flexibility and adaptability of the framework.

P

Pallas•6/4/23, 9:37 PM

Certainly! As a Plasmo developer, you can use the

chrome.scripting.getRegisteredContentScripts

chrome.scripting.getRegisteredContentScripts

function to retrieve information about the content scripts that have been registered for a particular extension. This can be useful if you need to dynamically modify or remove content scripts based on user preferences or other factors.

Here's an example of how you might use this function in your Plasmo extension:

chrome.scripting.getRegisteredContentScripts({ extensionId: chrome.runtime.id }, (scripts) => {
  console.log(`Found ${scripts.length} registered content scripts:`);
  scripts.forEach((script) => {
    console.log(`- ${script.js[0]} (${script.matches.join(', ')})`);
  });
});

chrome.scripting.getRegisteredContentScripts({ extensionId: chrome.runtime.id }, (scripts) => {
  console.log(`Found ${scripts.length} registered content scripts:`);
  scripts.forEach((script) => {
    console.log(`- ${script.js[0]} (${script.matches.join(', ')})`);
  });
});

chrome.scripting.getRegisteredContentScripts({ extensionId: chrome.runtime.id }, (scripts) => {
  console.log(`Found ${scripts.length} registered content scripts:`);
  scripts.forEach((script) => {
    console.log(`- ${script.js[0]} (${script.matches.join(', ')})`);
  });
});

chrome.scripting.getRegisteredContentScripts({ extensionId: chrome.runtime.id }, (scripts) => {
  console.log(`Found ${scripts.length} registered content scripts:`);
  scripts.forEach((script) => {
    console.log(`- ${script.js[0]} (${script.matches.join(', ')})`);
  });
});

In this example, we're using the

chrome.scripting.getRegisteredContentScripts

chrome.scripting.getRegisteredContentScripts

function to retrieve information about all the content scripts that have been registered for our extension. We're passing in an options object that specifies the extension ID (which we can get from

chrome.runtime.id

chrome.runtime.id

) and a callback function that will be called with an array of content script objects.

Once we have the array of content script objects, we're logging some information about each script to the console. Specifically, we're logging the first JavaScript file that's associated with the script (which is stored in the

js

js

array), as well as the list of URL patterns that the script matches (which is stored in the

matches

matches

array).

I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any other questions. Oh, and here's a fun fact: did you know that the Plasmo logo was inspired by the shape of a plasma ball?

Aautomata @Pallas how can I use the local storage instead of sync storage and have update ...

P

Pallas•6/4/23, 10:40 PM

Certainly! In Plasmo, local storage and sync storage are both options for storing data in your extension. The main difference between the two is that local storage is only accessible within the context of the current browser, while sync storage is synced across all instances of the browser where the extension is installed.

To use local storage instead of sync storage, you can simply change the storage area in your code. For example, instead of using

chrome.storage.sync

chrome.storage.sync

, you would use

chrome.storage.local

chrome.storage.local

.

As for firing an update between the background script and content script, you can use the

chrome.runtime.onMessage

chrome.runtime.onMessage

event to listen for messages sent between the two scripts. When a message is received, you can then update the local storage accordingly.

Here's an example of how you could use local storage to fire an update between the background script and content script:

In your background script:

chrome.runtime.onMessage.addListener((message, sender, sendResponse) => {
  if (message.type === 'update') {
    chrome.storage.local.set({ data: message.data });
  }
});

chrome.runtime.onMessage.addListener((message, sender, sendResponse) => {
  if (message.type === 'update') {
    chrome.storage.local.set({ data: message.data });
  }
});

chrome.runtime.onMessage.addListener((message, sender, sendResponse) => {
  if (message.type === 'update') {
    chrome.storage.local.set({ data: message.data });
  }
});

chrome.runtime.onMessage.addListener((message, sender, sendResponse) => {
  if (message.type === 'update') {
    chrome.storage.local.set({ data: message.data });
  }
});

In your content script:

chrome.storage.local.get('data', (result) => {
  // Do something with the data
});

// Send a message to the background script to update the data
chrome.runtime.sendMessage({ type: 'update', data: newData });

chrome.storage.local.get('data', (result) => {
  // Do something with the data
});

// Send a message to the background script to update the data
chrome.runtime.sendMessage({ type: 'update', data: newData });

chrome.storage.local.get('data', (result) => {
  // Do something with the data
});

// Send a message to the background script to update the data
chrome.runtime.sendMessage({ type: 'update', data: newData });

chrome.storage.local.get('data', (result) => {
  // Do something with the data
});

// Send a message to the background script to update the data
chrome.runtime.sendMessage({ type: 'update', data: newData });

I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any further questions. And as a little trivia, did you know that Plasmo was named after a type of plasma that can be found in outer space?

Pallas•6/7/23, 10:59 AM

It seems like you are using

redux-persist

redux-persist

to persist your Redux state, but you are encountering an error that says

TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'local')

TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'local')

. This error is usually caused by a misconfiguration of the

storage

storage

option in your

persistConfig

persistConfig

.

Based on the error message, it seems like the

storage

storage

option is undefined, which means that

redux-persist

redux-persist

is trying to read the

local

local

property of an undefined object. This could happen if you forgot to import the storage library that you are using, or if you misspelled the name of the storage library.

If you are using

redux-persist-webextension-storage

redux-persist-webextension-storage

to persist your Redux state in a browser extension, make sure that you have installed the library and imported it correctly in your code. Here's an example of how you can configure

redux-persist

redux-persist

to use

redux-persist-webextension-storage

redux-persist-webextension-storage

:

import { persistReducer } from 'redux-persist';
import storage from 'redux-persist-webextension-storage';

const persistConfig = {
  key: 'root',
  storage,
};

const persistedReducer = persistReducer(persistConfig, rootReducer);

import { persistReducer } from 'redux-persist';
import storage from 'redux-persist-webextension-storage';

const persistConfig = {
  key: 'root',
  storage,
};

const persistedReducer = persistReducer(persistConfig, rootReducer);

import { persistReducer } from 'redux-persist';
import storage from 'redux-persist-webextension-storage';

const persistConfig = {
  key: 'root',
  storage,
};

const persistedReducer = persistReducer(persistConfig, rootReducer);

import { persistReducer } from 'redux-persist';
import storage from 'redux-persist-webextension-storage';

const persistConfig = {
  key: 'root',
  storage,
};

const persistedReducer = persistReducer(persistConfig, rootReducer);

In this example, we import

storage

storage

from

redux-persist-webextension-storage

redux-persist-webextension-storage

and use it as the

storage

storage

option in our

persistConfig

persistConfig

. This should allow

redux-persist

redux-persist

to correctly store and retrieve your Redux state in the browser's storage.

If you are still encountering the error after checking your configuration, make sure to double-check your code for any typos or syntax errors that could be causing the issue.

P

Pallas•6/7/23, 11:09 AM

As a browser extension developer using Plasmo, you may come across the term "verbatimModuleSyntax" in the Plasmo documentation or codebase.

In Plasmo, "verbatimModuleSyntax" is a configuration option that allows you to use the exact syntax of the module system you are targeting, without any transpilation or transformation. This means that you can write code using the latest syntax features of ECMAScript (ES) modules, and Plasmo will ensure that your code is compatible with the target environment.

For example, if you are targeting Chrome 91, which supports ES modules natively, you can use the following code in your Plasmo extension:

import { someFunction } from './myModule.js';

chrome.runtime.onMessage.addListener((message) => {
  someFunction(message);
});

import { someFunction } from './myModule.js';

chrome.runtime.onMessage.addListener((message) => {
  someFunction(message);
});

import { someFunction } from './myModule.js';

chrome.runtime.onMessage.addListener((message) => {
  someFunction(message);
});

import { someFunction } from './myModule.js';

chrome.runtime.onMessage.addListener((message) => {
  someFunction(message);
});

With "verbatimModuleSyntax" enabled, Plasmo will not transpile the

import

import

statement, and will instead use the native ES module system of Chrome 91.

However, if you are targeting an environment that does not support ES modules natively, such as Internet Explorer 11, you can still use "verbatimModuleSyntax" to write code using the ES module syntax, and Plasmo will transpile it to a compatible format. For example:

import { someFunction } from './myModule.js';

chrome.runtime.onMessage.addListener((message) => {
  someFunction(message);
});

import { someFunction } from './myModule.js';

chrome.runtime.onMessage.addListener((message) => {
  someFunction(message);
});

import { someFunction } from './myModule.js';

chrome.runtime.onMessage.addListener((message) => {
  someFunction(message);
});

import { someFunction } from './myModule.js';

chrome.runtime.onMessage.addListener((message) => {
  someFunction(message);
});

With "verbatimModuleSyntax" enabled, Plasmo will transpile the

import

import

statement to a format that is compatible with Internet Explorer 11.

Overall, "verbatimModuleSyntax" is a powerful feature of Plasmo that allows you to write code using the latest syntax features of ES modules, while ensuring compatibility with your target environment.

Pallas•6/7/23, 2:10 PM

The error message you are seeing is related to the

Storage

Storage

interface provided by

@plasmohq/storage

@plasmohq/storage

. Specifically, it is saying that the

getAllKeys

getAllKeys

property is missing from the

StorageInterface

StorageInterface

type, which is required by the

Storage

Storage

type.

To fix this error, you can try updating your import statement for

@plasmohq/storage

@plasmohq/storage

to include the

StorageInterface

StorageInterface

type explicitly. Here's an example:

import { Storage, StorageInterface } from "@plasmohq/storage"

import { Storage, StorageInterface } from "@plasmohq/storage"

Then, you can update your

persistConfig

persistConfig

object to use the

StorageInterface

StorageInterface

type instead of the

Storage

Storage

type:

const persistConfig = {
  key: "root",
  version: 1,
  storage: localStorage as StorageInterface
}

const persistConfig = {
  key: "root",
  version: 1,
  storage: localStorage as StorageInterface
}

const persistConfig = {
  key: "root",
  version: 1,
  storage: localStorage as StorageInterface
}

const persistConfig = {
  key: "root",
  version: 1,
  storage: localStorage as StorageInterface
}

By casting

localStorage

localStorage

as

StorageInterface

StorageInterface

, you are telling TypeScript to treat it as if it has the

getAllKeys

getAllKeys

property, even though it is not explicitly defined in the

Storage

Storage

type.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.

P

Pallas•6/7/23, 4:45 PM

If you are getting

chrome.storage

chrome.storage

as undefined, it means that you have not requested the

storage

storage

permission in your extension's manifest file. To enable it, you need to add the following line to your

manifest.json

manifest.json

file:

{
  "name": "My Extension",
  "version": "1.0",
  "manifest_version": 2,
  "permissions": [
    "storage"
  ],
  "background": {
    "scripts": ["background.js"],
    "persistent": false
  }
}

{
  "name": "My Extension",
  "version": "1.0",
  "manifest_version": 2,
  "permissions": [
    "storage"
  ],
  "background": {
    "scripts": ["background.js"],
    "persistent": false
  }
}

{
  "name": "My Extension",
  "version": "1.0",
  "manifest_version": 2,
  "permissions": [
    "storage"
  ],
  "background": {
    "scripts": ["background.js"],
    "persistent": false
  }
}

{
  "name": "My Extension",
  "version": "1.0",
  "manifest_version": 2,
  "permissions": [
    "storage"
  ],
  "background": {
    "scripts": ["background.js"],
    "persistent": false
  }
}

The

"permissions"

"permissions"

field is an array of strings that lists all the permissions that your extension requires. In this case, we are requesting the

storage

storage

permission.

Once you have added the permission to your manifest file, you should be able to use the

chrome.storage

chrome.storage

API in your extension without any issues.

If you are using Plasmo, you don't need to worry about requesting the

storage

storage

permission explicitly. Plasmo's

Storage

Storage

class abstracts the

chrome.storage

chrome.storage

API and falls back to

localStorage

localStorage

when the extension storage API is unavailable. This allows for state sync between extension pages, content scripts, background service workers, and web pages.

SSaqlain !question how can i explicitly give permission storage in plasmo

P

Pallas•6/7/23, 4:49 PM

If you are using the Plasmo framework for your browser extension development, you can explicitly give permission for storage by modifying your project's

package.json

package.json

file.

To give permission for storage, you can add the

"storage"

"storage"

permission to the

"permissions"

"permissions"

array in your

package.json

package.json

file. Here's an example:

{
  "name": "my-extension",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "My awesome extension",
  "permissions": [
    "storage"
  ],
  "devDependencies": {
    "@plasmohq/plasmo": "^1.0.0"
  }
}

{
  "name": "my-extension",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "My awesome extension",
  "permissions": [
    "storage"
  ],
  "devDependencies": {
    "@plasmohq/plasmo": "^1.0.0"
  }
}

{
  "name": "my-extension",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "My awesome extension",
  "permissions": [
    "storage"
  ],
  "devDependencies": {
    "@plasmohq/plasmo": "^1.0.0"
  }
}

{
  "name": "my-extension",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "My awesome extension",
  "permissions": [
    "storage"
  ],
  "devDependencies": {
    "@plasmohq/plasmo": "^1.0.0"
  }
}

In this example, we've added the

"storage"

"storage"

permission to the

"permissions"

"permissions"

array. This will allow your extension to use the storage API provided by Plasmo.

Once you've added the

"storage"

"storage"

permission to your

package.json

package.json

file, you can use the

@plasmohq/storage

@plasmohq/storage

library to interact with the storage API. This library abstracts the persistent storage API available to browser extensions and falls back to

localStorage

localStorage

when the extension storage API is unavailable.

Here's an example of how you can use the

@plasmohq/storage

@plasmohq/storage

library to store and retrieve data:

import { useStorage } from '@plasmohq/storage';

const MyComponent = () => {
  const [value, setValue] = useStorage('my-key', 'default-value');

  const handleClick = () => {
    setValue('new-value');
  };

  return (
    <div>
      <p>Current value: {value}</p>
      <button onClick={handleClick}>Update value</button>
    </div>
  );
};

import { useStorage } from '@plasmohq/storage';

const MyComponent = () => {
  const [value, setValue] = useStorage('my-key', 'default-value');

  const handleClick = () => {
    setValue('new-value');
  };

  return (
    <div>
      <p>Current value: {value}</p>
      <button onClick={handleClick}>Update value</button>
    </div>
  );
};

import { useStorage } from '@plasmohq/storage';

const MyComponent = () => {
  const [value, setValue] = useStorage('my-key', 'default-value');

  const handleClick = () => {
    setValue('new-value');
  };

  return (
    <div>
      <p>Current value: {value}</p>
      <button onClick={handleClick}>Update value</button>
    </div>
  );
};

import { useStorage } from '@plasmohq/storage';

const MyComponent = () => {
  const [value, setValue] = useStorage('my-key', 'default-value');

  const handleClick = () => {
    setValue('new-value');
  };

  return (
    <div>
      <p>Current value: {value}</p>
      <button onClick={handleClick}>Update value</button>
    </div>
  );
};

In this example, we're using the

useStorage

useStorage

hook from the

@plasmohq/storage

@plasmohq/storage

library to store and retrieve data. The

useStorage

useStorage

hook takes two arguments: the key to use for storing the data, and the default value to use if there is no existing value for the key.

By using the

@plasmohq/storage

@plasmohq/storage

library and adding the

"storage"

"storage"

permission to your

package.json

package.json

file, you can easily store and retrieve data in your Plasmo-based browser extension.

Certainly! As a fellow browser extension developer using Plasmo, I understand how frustrating it can be to encounter errors during project creation. The error message you're seeing indicates that the "@plasmo/config" package is missing from your workspace, even though it's listed as a dependency in your project's package.json file.

To fix this error, you can try running the following command in your project directory:

npm install @plasmo/config

npm install @plasmo/config

This will install the missing "@plasmo/config" package and add it to your project's dependencies. Once the installation is complete, you should be able to create a new Plasmo project without encountering this error.

I hope this helps! As a little trivia, did you know that Plasmo is named after the plasma state of matter, which is a highly ionized gas that conducts electricity? It's a nod to the dynamic and flexible nature of Plasmo projects.

are you using

pnpm create plasmo

pnpm create plasmo

?

lab•6/8/23, 2:29 AM

hmm it works for me, ran it just now

lab•6/8/23, 2:29 AM

any log before that error?

lab•6/8/23, 4:12 PM

which version of pnpm are you using?

lab•6/8/23, 4:13 PM

It seems that you also have a linked version of plasmo:

lab•6/8/23, 4:13 PM

well technically even if you do, it should works

L

lab•6/8/23, 4:13 PM

what's the pwd that you ran pnpm in?

L

lab•6/8/23, 4:14 PM

hmmmm that shoulda work :d

L

lab•6/8/23, 4:14 PM

yeah

lab•6/8/23, 4:14 PM

I think you linked the wrong one

L

lab•6/8/23, 4:14 PM

which resulted in the issue you're seeing

lab•6/8/23, 4:14 PM

pnpm unlink -g create-plasmo

pnpm unlink -g create-plasmo

lab•6/8/23, 4:14 PM

^ try that :d

L

lab•6/8/23, 4:15 PM

OR

L

lab•6/8/23, 4:15 PM

you can also just pull, build the latest plasmo, and use the local version and get it working lol

lab•6/8/23, 4:15 PM

In my machine, if I run

pnpm create plasmo

pnpm create plasmo

<- it uses the remote version of plasmo

@Pallas I tried using the following statement: ```const config = new PlasmoCSConfig();``` But not w
