I have a chrome extension and a popup.html, This popup.html UI has a single button when clicked it would open a web page in the external popup window
popup.html
<body>
<article style="width: 34rem">
<button id="open">Click to open the App</button>
</article>
<script src="popup.js"></script>
<body>
The popup.js code
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#open").click(function() {
window.open("https://www.example.com",'The title','height=678,width=650').focus();
});
});
The user clicks the button on popup.html and it opens a window and the new window gets focused (I have no problem with that), The new window can be minimized by the user when its not active.
Say a user minimized the new window and again clicks the button on the popup.html another instance of the new window is created.
I am looking for a way to open focus the same earlier minimized window instead of new. How do I achieve it?
Hope this will solve your problem
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#open").click(function() {
chrome.tabs.query({
title: 'Your title name'
}, tabs => {
if (!tabs.length) {
window.open("https://www.example.com", 'Your title name', 'height=678,width=650').focus();
return;
}
chrome.windows.update(tabs[0].windowId, {
focused: true
});
chrome.tabs.update(tabs[0].id, {
active: true
});
});
});
});
