webext-permissions-events-polyfill v1.0.1

webext-permissions-events-polyfill

WebExtensions: Polyfill for permissions.onAdded and permissions.onRemoved events for Firefox.

Optional permissions can be added and removed by both Chrome and Firefox, but Firefox doesn't yet support Permission Events: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1444294

This polyfill will add those two events to Firefox.

Install

You can just download the standalone bundle (it might take a minute to download) and include the file in your manifest.json, or:

npm install webext-permissions-events-polyfill

import 'webext-permissions-events-polyfill';

require('webext-permissions-events-polyfill');

Usage

Include the polyfill in manifest.json (except in content scripts) and then refer to the original Permissions Events documentation.

chrome.permissions.onAdded.addListener(permissions => {
	console.log('New permissions');
	console.log(permissions.origins);
	console.log(permissions.permissions);
});

chrome.permissions.onRemoved.addListener(permissions => {
	console.log('Permissions that have been removed');
	console.log(permissions.origins);
	console.log(permissions.permissions);
});
