Is it possible for me to pass a variable from my popup.js and use it globally in my content script? I need to be able to pass a variable from the popup and use it in my content script as a variable. I've tried all sorts of answers but I'm still stuck.
Below is a code snippet where I would have to use the user input assigned to minNum:
if (checkPage() == true) {
if (num <= minNum) {
console.log('Leaving call.');
leaveCall();
}
}
Below are my popup.js and popup.html file that just adds or reduces variable people:
people = 3;
document.addEventListener(
'DOMContentLoaded',
function () {
var addButton = document.getElementById('add');
var reduceButton = document.getElementById('reduce');
addButton.addEventListener(
'click',
function () {
people += 1;
document.getElementById('minNum').innerHTML = people;
},
false
);
reduceButton.addEventListener(
'click',
function () {
people -= 1;
document.getElementById('minNum').innerHTML = people;
},
false
);
},
false
);<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Yeet Meet</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1 id="minNum">3</h1>
<button id="add">+</button>
<button id="reduce">-</button>
<script src="popup.js"></script>
</body>
</html>I want to pass variable people to my content script so that I could assign it to minNum.
I apologize if this has already been answered and it probably just flew over my head but I can't seem to make anything work. Thank you for your help.
