gm-context v0.2.1
GM_context
A JavaScript library to create native HTML5 contextmenu in the browser. This library is designed for userscripts.
Compatibility
It uses native HTML5 <menu>
and <menuitem>
to build the context menu, so:
- It only works on latest Firefox.
- It doesn't replace the original context menu but extends it.
Usage
GM_context.add({
context: ["image"],
items: [{
type: "submenu",
label: "Reverse image search",
items: [{
label: "TinEye",
onclick(e) {
// ...
}
}, {
type: "separator"
}, {
label: "Google",
onclick(e) {
// ...
}
}]
}]
});
