How can I open the side panel programmatically?
I am interested in opening the side panel programmatically by messaging the background script from the content script
. However
, I am not seeing any documentation on how to do that through Plasmo
. I see the Chrome API has
chrome.sidePanel.open({ windowId: tab.windowId });
chrome.sidePanel.open({ windowId: tab.windowId });
(
https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/reference/api/sidePanel#user-interaction
) however
, this doesn
't work which I am guessing because Plasmo handles the extension
.
Any help is appreciated
