Need to open chrome extension from html button click.
I tried to use chrome.runtime
to open an extension but there is no use.
The program executes but the extension is not opening.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script>
// This function will trigger the Chrome extension with the specified ID
function runChromeExtension(extensionId) {
console.log(extensionId)
// Check if the extension is already installed
if (typeof (chrome) !== "undefined" && chrome.runtime) {
// If the extension is installed, send a message to it
chrome.runtime.sendMessage(extensionId, { action: "run" }, function (response) {
console.log(response);
});
} else {// If the extension is not installed, show an error message
console.error("Chrome extension not found");
}
}</script>
</head>
<body>
<button onclick="runChromeExtension('anflghppebdhjipndogapfagemgnlblh')">Run Chrome Extension</button>
</body>
</html>
Any suggestions or am doing anything wrong?
Kindly Note: Security settings can be modified to run the above program.
If you own chrome extension then
Add your website url in externally_connectable
key in manifest.json
"externally_connectable": {
"matches": ["http://mywebsite.com/*"]
},
If your domain not exist in any installed extension then
chrome make chrome.runtime
is undefined
