| 16 <ol> | |
| 17 <li> | |
| 18 Specify the "devtools_page" field in your extension's manifest: | |
| 19 <pre>{ | |
| 20 "name": ... | |
| 21 "version": "1.0", | |
| 22 "minimum_chrome_version": "10.0", | |
| 23 <b>"devtools_page": "devtools.html"</b>, | |
| 24 ... | |
| 25 } | |
| 26 </pre> | |
| 27 </li> | |
| 28 <li> | |
| 29 An instance of the devtools_page specified in your extension's manifest | |
| 30 will be created for every Developer Tools window opened. The page may add | |
| 31 other extension pages as panels and sidebars to the Developer Tools window | |
| 32 using <a href="devtools.panels.html">devtools.panels</a> | |
| 33 API. | |
| 34 </li> | |
| 35 <li> | |
| 36 The chrome.devtools.* API modules are available only to the | |
| 37 pages loaded within the Developer Tools window. Content scripts and other | |
| 38 extension pages do not have these APIs. Thus, the APIs are available only | |
| 39 through the lifetime of the Developer Tools window. | |
| 40 </li> | |
| 41 <li>The APIs available to extension pages within the Developer Tools | |
| 42 window include all <a href="#api-list">devtools modules | |
| 43 listed above</a> and <a href="extension.html">chrome.extension</a> API. | |
| 44 Other extension APIs are not available to the Developer Tools pages, but | |
| 45 you may invoke them by sending a request to the background page of your | |
| 46 extension, similarly to how it's done in the | |
| 47 <a href="overview.html#contentScripts">content scripts</a>. | |
| 48 </li><li> | |
| 49 There are also some Developer Tools APIs that are still experimental. | |
| 50 Please refer to <a href="experimental.html">chrome.experimental.* APIs</a> | |
| 51 for the list of experimental APIs and guidelines on how to use them. | |
