I am trying to create a simple chrome extension to inspect an Angular 10 app where I am not able to access ng object in my content script.
content.js
const mouseUp = () => {
console.log(' window', window?.ng); // prints undefined
let selectedText = window.getSelection();
console.log(selectedText);
};
window.addEventListener('mouseup', mouseUp);
background.js
console.log('From background js');
manifest.json
{
"manifest_version": 2,
"name": "Angular inspect extension",
"description": "Angular inspect ",
"version": "1.0.0",
"permissions": [
"tabs",
"http://*/*",
"https://*/*"
],
"background": {
"scripts": [
"./background.js"
]
},
"content_scripts": [
{
"matches": [
"<all_urls>"
],
"js": [
"content.js"
]
}
]
}
But when I check the window object in an angular app's console I could see the required ng object.
So how can I access ng object in my content script so that I can pass that object to my devtools page and do further processing.
Note: I am aware that the content scripts are scoped and they cannot directly access dom properties of web page.
Any other possible way to achieve this with injecting a custom hook script in the content script??
