Type definitions for Chrome extension development from https://www.github.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped
@types/chrome provides TypeScript definitions for the Chrome extension APIs, allowing developers to write Chrome extensions with type safety and autocompletion in TypeScript.
Tabs API
The Tabs API allows you to interact with the browser's tab system. This example demonstrates how to create a new tab and log the details of the created tab.
chrome.tabs.create({ url: 'https://www.example.com' }, (tab) => { console.log('New tab created:', tab); });
Storage API
The Storage API provides a way to store, retrieve, and track changes to user data. This example shows how to set a value in the storage.
chrome.storage.sync.set({ key: 'value' }, () => { console.log('Value is set to 'value''); });
Runtime API
The Runtime API allows you to manage your extension's lifecycle events. This example demonstrates how to listen for the installation event of the extension.
chrome.runtime.onInstalled.addListener(() => { console.log('Extension installed'); });
Alarms API
The Alarms API allows you to schedule code to run at a specific time in the future. This example shows how to create an alarm and listen for when it triggers.
chrome.alarms.create('myAlarm', { delayInMinutes: 1 }); chrome.alarms.onAlarm.addListener((alarm) => { console.log('Alarm triggered:', alarm); });
Notifications API
The Notifications API allows you to create and manage notifications. This example demonstrates how to create a notification and log its ID.
chrome.notifications.create('notificationId', { type: 'basic', iconUrl: 'icon.png', title: 'Notification Title', message: 'Notification message' }, (notificationId) => { console.log('Notification created:', notificationId); });
The webextension-polyfill package provides a cross-browser API for developing browser extensions. It offers a promise-based API that is consistent across different browsers, making it easier to write extensions that work in Chrome, Firefox, and other browsers. Unlike @types/chrome, which is specific to Chrome, webextension-polyfill aims to provide a unified API for multiple browsers.
The chrome-types package is another set of TypeScript definitions for the Chrome extension APIs. It is similar to @types/chrome but may have different update cycles and community support. Both packages serve the same purpose of providing type definitions for Chrome's extension APIs.
npm install --save-dev @types/chrome
