Chrome Extension Popup Installation
This is kind of a stupid question but i couldnt find any help searching around. I would like to know how can i make my chrome extension, when its being installed by a user, to redi
Solution 1:
For "when it is being installed", there is a special event in chrome.runtime
API:
onInstalled
Fired when the extension is first installed, when the extension is updated to a new version, and when Chrome is updated to a new version.
As you guessed correctly, it should go to your background script.
chrome.runtime.onInstalled.addListener( function(details) {
switch(details.reason) {
case "install":
// First installation
break;
case "update":
// First run after an update
break;
}
});
To open a new tab with your URL, you can use chrome.tabs
chrome.tabs.create({url: "http://example.com/"});
