Chrome Remote Debugging Protocol

A simple client for connecting to chrome and speaking the chrome remote debug protocol

It borrows chrome's internal DevTools connection classes, which make it easy to use Domain methods and subscribe to events.

WebSocketConnection

The WebSocketConnection class is responsible for creating a connection with the browser. It is also responsible for maintaining a set of connected agents.

These agents are used to issue commands to the browser and dispatch events from the browser.

generateCommands

generateCommands is a helper function for creating the code that will be evaluated to dynamically build the agents.

Here's an example snippet:

InspectorBackend.registerEvent("Inspector.inspect", ["object", "hints"]);
InspectorBackend.registerEvent("Inspector.detached", ["reason"]);
InspectorBackend.registerCommand("Page.enable", [], [], false);
InspectorBackend.registerCommand("Debugger.getBacktrace", [], ["callFrames", "asyncStackTrace"], false);

Steps to upgrade api.js:

• add line /* eslint-disable */
• add line var WebInspector = {}, window = window || {};
• copy front_end/common/Object.js
• copy front_end/sdk/InspectorBackend.js
• copy front_end/main/Connections.js
• copy front_end/sdk/InspectorBackendHostedMode.js
• delete WebInspector.InspectorBackendHostedMode.loadFromJSONIfNeeded("../protocol.json");
• add the exports statement

module.exports = {
  InspectorBackendClass,
  WebSocketConnection: WebInspector.WebSocketConnection
};
