I'm currently trying to make a chrome extension but I'm a bit lost -_-
I have two questions, my first one is how do I go about seeing if a user is on a certain website and execute the code ?
I have this so far:
if(href == "instagram") {
console.warn("You are on instagram !!")
}
But it doesn't seem to be working.
my second question is how do I add a chrome extension, I followed a tutorial but I it does not match what i see on my screen
First question answer
As for your first question, "href == " doesn't work, you need window.location.href and match, like so:
if(window.location.href.match("www.instagram") {
console.warn("You are on instagram !!")
}
If you're going to be using this a lot I recommend putting it into a variable like url = window.location.href, so then you can just use url.match
Second question answer
To add your chrome extension, go to chrome://extensions and click "developer mode" in the top right. Then you should see something called "load unpacked" - once you press this locate the folder for your chrome extension and add it.
At the moment, you are doing href == "instagram". What this does, is compare them directly. But the href is actually going to be something like instagram.com or https://instagram.com/something, so the statement won't work.
You probably want to do
if (window.location.href.includes('instagram') {
console.log('You are on Instagram!');
}
For your second question, it's a longer answer than SO is really meant for. Try taking a look at this: https://webkul.com/blog/how-to-install-the-unpacked-extension-in-chrome/
