Frequently Asked Questions

• How do you fix a wordy or run on sentence?

  Suggestions for wordy or run-on sentences will be indicated with a “Rephrase sentence” label. Click into it to find your original sentence rewritten as two sentences or with fewer, more direct words that make the message clearer and more straightforward.

• How do I send a message from one extension to another?

  If you only need to send a single message to another part of your extension (and optionally get a response back), you should use the simplified runtime.sendMessage or tabs.sendMessage. This lets you send a one-time JSON-serializable message from a content script to extension, or vice versa, respectively.

• How do I send a request from the extension to a script?

  Sending a request from the extension to a content script looks very similar, except that you need to specify which tab to send it to. This example demonstrates sending a message to the content script in the selected tab. On the receiving end, you need to set up an runtime.onMessage event listener to handle the message.

• What is message passing in Chrome extensions?

  Message passing is an essential concept when it comes to developing a Chrome extension. This is just one of the multiple ways in which you can communicate between scripts. I spent a few hours in order to figure out how it would work for my use case. Hopefully, this simple walkthrough and the visual representation saves you some time.

• What is the difference between SendMessage and sendnativemessage in chrome?

  When a messaging port is created using runtime.connectNative Chrome starts native messaging host process and keeps it running until the port is destroyed. On the other hand, when a message is sent using runtime.sendNativeMessage, without creating a messaging port, Chrome starts a new native messaging host process for each message.

• What are message passing methods used for?

  These methods support message passing so that you can communicate with different parts of your extension (such as an extension popup and background scripts), other extensions, or native applications on the user's device. See Message Passing for an overview of the subject.

• How do Chrome extensions pass objects to content scripts?

  Since Chrome extensions are event-driven because of their architecture, once the injected scripts have access to the page's variables and functions, they can pass it to the content script. The content script then passes the these objects to the background page.
