Methods
(static) toChrome(sendSyncMessageFn)
Creates a transparent interface from the content- to the chrome context.
Calls to this object will be proxied via the frame's sendSyncMessage (nsISyncMessageSender) function. Since the message is synchronous, the return value is presented as a return value.
Example on how to use from a frame content script:
let chrome = proxy.toChrome(sendSyncMessage.bind(this));
let cookie = chrome.getCookie("foo");
Parameters:
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
sendSyncMessageFn |
nsISyncMessageSender | The frame message manager's sendSyncMessage function. |
(static) toChromeAsync(frameMessageManager)
A transparent content-to-chrome RPC interface where responses are presented as promises.
Parameters:
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
frameMessageManager |
nsIFrameMessageManager | The content frame's message manager, which itself is usually an implementor of. |
(static) toListener(mmFn, sendAsyncFn)
Creates a transparent interface between the chrome- and content contexts.
Calls to this object will be proxied via the message manager to a content frame script, and responses are returend as promises.
The argument sequence is serialised and passed as an array, unless it consists of a single object type that isn't null, in which case it's passed literally. The latter specialisation is temporary to achieve backwards compatibility with listener.js.
Parameters:
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
mmFn |
function | Closure function returning the current message manager. |
sendAsyncFn |
function | Callback for sending async messages. |
