today i learned:
Extension Manager
chrome.management.getAll(function(extensions) {
var options = [];
extensions.forEach(function(extension) {
if (extension.id !== chrome.runtime.id) {
options.push(extension.name);
}
});
var choice = prompt("Choose an extension to manage:\\n" + options.join("\\n"));
var selectedExtension = extensions.find(function(ext) {
return ext.name === choice;
});
if (selectedExtension) {
var action = selectedExtension.enabled ? 'disable' : 'enable';
var confirmAction = confirm('Do you want to ' + action + ' the extension: ' + selectedExtension.name + '?');
if (confirmAction) {
chrome.management.setEnabled(selectedExtension.id, !selectedExtension.enabled, function() {
if (chrome.runtime.lastError) {
console.error('Failed to ' + action + ' extension ' + selectedExtension.name + ': ' + chrome.runtime.lastError.message);
} else {
refreshExtensionList();
openWebStore();
}
});
}
} else {
alert('Invalid choice');
}
});
