chrome.dart #

An library for accessing the Chrome APIs in a packaged app or extension.

Installing #

Add this to your package's pubspec.yaml file:

dependencies:
  chrome: any

Using the library #

import 'package:chrome/chrome_app.dart' as chrome;

void main() {
  chrome.runtime.getPlatformInfo().then((Map m) {
    print(m.toString());
  });
}

Also, see the FAQ.

In your pubspec.yaml #

In order to build your app with pub build, you'll need to tell it to select the CSP compliant output of dart2js. To do that, add these lines:

transformers:
- chrome

to your pubspec.yaml file.

Breaking Changes #

For version 0.5.0, we removed the older chrome.socket API in favor of the new chrome.sockets API. In order to continue using the older API, you can reference it directly via an import:

import 'package:chrome/gen/socket.dart';
