Extensions implementation about ninetails

[hello-smile6]

bump

So? Life is bumpy! 😄

[webdev03]

You have node 17?? I thought 16 was latest! Lol
You put ./extensions.js instead of ./js/extensions.js

[MystPi]

I honestly don't know how to do this. You can try your hand at it if you want.

[ninjamar]

I would love to have Scratch Addons on ninetails.

[webdev03]

wait so we can mention sa?

[MystPi]

wait so we can mention sa?

I don't think you're supposed to, but I don't care if you do.

[webdev03]

WebExtensions would be kind of hard to implement though.

[ninjamar]

We could start small with something like userscripts.

[webdev03]

Yeah, that would be a good idea. Just something that can be run as normal JS code like it was in the webview. Or maybe give some permission to access Electron API?

[ninjamar]

How about we can do some script injecting then work out way up to the electron api.

[ninjamar]

I'll try to figure out a way to inject scripts inside a page.

[webdev03]

Okay !

I added the base of an extension loader (it can load from urls) but I am not good at the ui stuff.

[ninjamar]

@MystPi could you help with the ui on my fork?

[ninjamar]

I added userstyles and manifests.

^^ Sample manifests

[MystPi]

Nice! Please make sure you're using 2 spaces for tabs, instead of 4.

[MystPi]

MystPi could you help with the ui on my fork?

What type of UI do you want for it?

[MystPi]

There are actually pre-built functions for injecting styles into a webview. You should probably use it instead, as you can also remove the injected style.

webview.insertCSS and webview.removeInsertedCSS: https://www.electronjs.org/docs/latest/api/webview-tag#webviewinsertcsscss

Could you add a userscript/userstyle settings page so we can load them by url?

What about scripts? Should I use webview.executeJavaScript?

I don't really know. Possibly?

I'll mess around with it.

Should https be used by default? I'm using #66 (comment)
Should we host the proxy on startup locally?

Replit only allows HTTPS.

[webdev03]

What do you mean by https by default?

We should have a userscript/userstyle library

If you enable nodeIntegration and make sure you're careful with user data, you could use node-fetch.

[webdev03]

You can inject CSS and JS into the webview.

[webdev03]

Unfortunately you can't get access to the DOM 😭

[hello-smile6]

Unfortunately you can't get access to the DOM 😭

Yes, you can. Just figure out how to run code in the renderer process as the webpage.

[webdev03]

Oh right, you can get access to the DOM.

[hello-smile6]

Oh right, you can get access to the DOM.

Yep!!!

[ninjamar]

If you enable nodeIntegration and make sure you're careful with user data, you could use node-fetch. BTW, hover your mouse over the node-fetch link.

I don't like the idea of passing untrusted data

[ninjamar]

Can someone help me by testing this branch? it doesn't seem to work. https://github.com/ninjamar/ninetails/tree/broken

Fine. 🙄 That other comment was accidental. Hit Ctrl+Enter at the wrong time.

[webdev03]

That looks like it should work while I was browsing the code.

Gonna see if I can post from Firefox in a Ubuntu 10 v86 VM first.

[webdev03]

I'm working on an implementation in Catalyst right now.

Nice! Could you by chance work on an Electron v86 client once you get that done? https://copy.sh/v86/

[ninjamar]

@hello-smile6 status?

[webdev03]

I think that Electron is working on native extensions support, but userscripts we could implement.

Okay, so first you should fetch upstream because you're 40 commits behind. Also you have a syntax error and a reference error:

I just found this: https://www.electronjs.org/docs/latest/api/extensions Maybe it will help.

Okay. Sorry if I'm not responding, I'm trying to run an HTTP server on v86 and use ngrok so I can send an HTTP request to it, maybe even dOS a VM, from my browser.

[webdev03]

I just found this: https://www.electronjs.org/docs/latest/api/extensions Maybe it will help.

Would that be able to run in webview?

That would work

[ninjamar]

I don't have time to do this anymore

[MystPi]

Okay.
