Chrome extension: script injection to workers and other nonpages - google-chrome-extension

Contentscripts don't seem to work for Worker, SharedWorker, ServiceWorker, and other nonpages.
Is there a simple way to inject a script into the start of them?
Sample contentscript runat docstart:
var script = document.createElement("script")
script.textContent = `
console.log = function() { return 0 }
alert(console.log) // overridden, good
var blob = new Blob([
'console.log(Math.random())' // not overriden, bad
], { type: "text/javascript" })
var worker = new Worker(window.URL.createObjectURL(blob));
`
document.documentElement.appendChild(script)
Sure, it's possible to inject a script into the document itself and rewrite the constructors of Worker etc to include the script, but there had to be a simpler solution.
Any ideas?

Getting a Custom Elements using a Chrome Addon Content Script

When I execute this code in the console of a website, it goes well, and reaches the console.log('defined').
However, when I execute it via a chrome extension content script, I keep getting "undefined" in my customElements prints. Why?
const script = document.createElement('script')
script.setAttribute('type', 'module');
script.setAttribute('src', 'https://unpkg.com/pose-viewer#0.2.3/dist/pose-viewer/pose-viewer.esm.js');
document.body.appendChild(script);
while (!window.customElements.get('pose-viewer')) {
await new Promise(resolve => requestAnimationFrame(resolve))
console.log(window.customElements.get('pose-viewer'))
}
console.log('defined')
I can see the script being injected to the page and loaded well via the network tab.
Additionally, if I run this through the chrome extension, and then try window.customElements.get('pose-viewer') in the console, it works.
Load it via custom loader and inject to verify customelements
In Content Script
const script = document.createElement('script');
script.setAttribute('src', chrome.extension.getURL("js/customloader.js"));
document.body.appendChild(script);
And the js/customloader.js
const script = document.createElement('script')
script.setAttribute('type', 'module');
script.setAttribute('src', 'https://unpkg.com/pose-viewer#0.2.3/dist/pose-viewer/pose-viewer.esm.js');
script.onload = function() {
verifyCustomElements().then(fn => {
console.log('defined')
console.log(window.customElements)
})
}
document.body.appendChild(script);
async function verifyCustomElements(){
while (!window.customElements.get('pose-viewer')) {
await new Promise(resolve => requestAnimationFrame(resolve))
consol.log("checking")
console.log(window.customElements.get('pose-viewer'))
}
}
The defined now is ready to do customElements Stuff Now :)
Check if adding tabs to the list of permissions solves it.

Write to same file from multiple tasks (Gulp, Node, gulp-json)

I've just started using Gulp (and NodeJs)... Obviously I ran into my first wall.
Here it is:
I have a large project that uses themes. Each theme has it's own assets (scss and js files). Here is my gulpfile.js:
// < require block here (not included, to keep this short)
var themes = ["theme1", "theme2", "theme3"];
// Since I can have up to 20 different themes, I use the 'themes' array so I can create tasks dynamically, like this:
themes.forEach(function (theme) {
gulp.task('css:' + theme, function () {
setVersion([theme], 'css'); // write asset version into a json file
gulp.src('../themes/frontend/' + theme + '/assets/css/style.scss')
.pipe(sourcemaps.init())
.pipe(sass({outputStyle: 'compressed'}).on('error', sass.logError))
.pipe(sourcemaps.write('./'))
.pipe(gulp.dest('../themes/frontend/' + theme + '/assets/css'))
});
});
// Of course, I need an "all" task to build all CSS in rare ocasions I need to do so:
gulp.task('css:all', ("css:" + themes.join(",css:")).split(","));
// ("css:" + themes.join(",css:")).split(",") => results in the needed ['css:theme1', 'css:theme2'] tasks array
// The same logic as above for JS files
// but added the use of gulp-concat and gulp-uglify
// Having scripts = { "theme1" : ['script1', 'script2'], "theme2": ['script1', 'script2'] }
// ...
// And "per theme" both "css and js"
themes.forEach(function (theme) {
gulp.task('theme:' + theme, ['css:' + theme, 'js:' + theme]);
});
// Next I need to set versions for each asset
// I'm writing all the versions into a json file
assetsVersion = someRandomGeneratedNumber;
function setVersion(themes, assetType) {
/**
* themes: array
* assetType: 'all', 'css' or 'js'
*/
var fs = require('fs'),
path = require("path");
var versionsFilePath = path.normalize(__dirname + '/../protected/config/theme/frontend/');
var versionsFileName = '_assets-version.json';
if (!fs.existsSync(versionsFilePath + versionsFileName)) {
// Create file if it doesn't exist
fs.writeFile(versionsFilePath + versionsFileName, "{}", function (err) {
if (err) {
return console.log(err);
}
});
}
gulp.src(versionsFilePath + versionsFileName)
.pipe(jeditor(function (json) {
themes.forEach(function(theme) {
if ("undefined" == typeof (json[theme])) {
json[theme] = {};
}
if ('css' == assetType) {
json[theme]['css'] = assetsVersion;
} else if ('js' == assetType) {
json[theme]['js'] = assetsVersion;
} else {
json[theme] = {"css": assetsVersion, "js": assetsVersion};
}
if ("undefined" == typeof(json[theme]['css'])) {
// if we're missing the 'css' key (i.e. we've just created the json file), add that too
json[theme]['css'] = assetsVersion;
}
if ("undefined" == typeof(json[theme]['js'])) {
// if we're missing the 'js' key (i.e. we've just created the json file), add that too
json[theme]['js'] = assetsVersion;
}
});
return json;
}))
.pipe(gulp.dest(versionsFilePath));
}
The assets versioning json should look like this:
{
"theme1": {
"css": "20150928163236",
"js": "20150928163236"
},
"theme2": {
"css": "20150928163236",
"js": "20150928163236"
},
"theme3": {
"css": "20150928163236",
"js": "20150928163236"
}
}
running 'gulp css:theme#' - works fine...
BUT running 'gulp css:all' - makes a messy json
Of course, this happens because all css:theme# (or js:theme#) tasks run async, and more often than not there are multiple tasks writing simultaneously to my json file.
I've read about tasks depending on other tasks, but that doesn't really fit into my whole "dynamic tasks" flow (or I don't know how to fit it in).
I mean I don't think that this:
gulp.task('css:theme1', ['versioning'], function() {
//do stuff after 'versioning' task is done.
});
would help me. SO what if it waits for the version to be written? Multiple tasks would still write to the file at the same time. Also, for this to work, I would need to pass parameters that I also don't know how to do... like:
gulp.task('css:'+theme, ['versioning --theme ' + theme], function() {
//do stuff after 'versioning' task is done.
});
Like I could make it work in the console. I know this isn't working, BUT would be really useful in some cases if it would somehow be possible to send parameters to the task in the task name.
Neither runSequence() { ... done(); }, I really don't see how could I make it work within my flow...
Please, anybody... help a newb...
How can I solve this, while:
Having tasks created dynamically;
Having one versioning json file for all themes.

Execute a function in a new process node

I am looking for a way (a npm module or a lib would be really useful) to run a javascript function in a new process. However, I don't want to define this function in a different file. I am looking for something like the POSIX fork mechanism.
how can I achieve this in node?
You can fork new processes using child_process.fork. It accepts a separate module, but if you must have it all contained in one file you could give your script a mode parameter:
var child_process = require('child_process');
var mode = process.argv[2] ? process.argv[2] : 'default';
var modes = {
default: function() {
console.log('I am the default, I will fork a child');
child_process.fork(__filename, ['child']);
},
child: function() {
console.log('I am the child!');
}
};
modes[mode]();

Node.JS - fs.exists not working?

I'm a beginner in Node.js, and was having trouble with this piece of code.
var fs = require('fs');
Framework.Router = function() {
this.run = function(req, res) {
fs.exists(global.info.controller_file, function(exists) {
if (exists) {
// Here's the problem
res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type':'text/html'});
var cname = App.ucfirst(global.info.controller)+'Controller';
var c = require(global.info.controller_file);
var c = new App[cname]();
var action = global.info.action;
c[action].apply(global.info.action, global.info.params);
res.end();
} else {
App.notFound();
return false;
}
});
}
};
The problem lies in the part after checking if the 'global.info.controller_file' exists, I can't seem to get the code to work properly inside the: if (exists) { ... NOT WORKING }
I tried logging out the values for all the variables in that section, and they have their expected values, however the line: c[action].apply(global.info.action, global.info.params);
is not running as expected. It is supposed to call a function in the controller_file and is supposed to do a simple res.write('hello world');. I wasn't having this problem before I started checking for the file using fs.exists. Everything inside the if statement, worked perfectly fine before this check.
Why is the code not running as expected? Why does the request just time out?
Does it have something to do with the whole synchronous vs asynchronous thing? (Sorry, I'm a complete beginner)
Thank you
Like others have commented, I would suggest you rewrite your code to bring it more in-line with the Node.js design patterns, then see if your problem still exists. In the meantime, here's something which may help:
The advice about not using require dynamically at "run time" should be heeded, and calling fs.exists() on every request is tremendously wasteful. However, say you want to load all *.js files in a directory (perhaps a "controllers" directory). This is best accomplished using an index.js file.
For example, save the following as app/controllers/index.js
var fs = require('fs');
var files = fs.readdirSync(__dirname);
var dotJs = /\.js$/;
for (var i in files) {
if (files[i] !== 'index.js' && dotJs.test(files[i]))
exports[files[i].replace(dotJs, '')] = require('./' + files[i]);
}
Then, at the start of app/router.js, add:
var controllers = require('./controllers');
Now you can access the app/controllers/test.js module by using controllers.test. So, instead of:
fs.exists(controllerFile, function (exists) {
if (exists) {
...
}
});
simply:
if (controllers[controllerName]) {
...
}
This way you can retain the dynamic functionality you desire without unnecessary disk IO.

What is the best way to expose methods from Node.js?

Consider I want to expose a method called Print
Binding method as prototype:
File Saved as Printer.js
var printerObj = function(isPrinted) {
this.printed = isPrinted;
}
printerObj.prototype.printNow = function(printData) {
console.log('= Print Started =');
};
module.exports = printerObj;
Then access printNow() by putting code require('Printer.js').printNow() in any external .js node program file.
Export method itself using module.exports:
File Saved as Printer2.js
var printed = false;
function printNow() {
console.log('= Print Started =');
}
module.exports.printNow = printNow;
Then access printNow() by putting code require('Printer2.js').printNow() in any external .js node program file.
Can anyone tell what is the difference and best way of doing it with respect to Node.js?
Definitely the first way. It is called the substack pattern and you can read about it on Twitter and on Mikeal Rogers' blog. Some code examples can be found at the jade github repo in the parser:
var Parser = exports = module.exports = function Parser(str, filename, options){
this.input = str;
this.lexer = new Lexer(str, options);
...
};
Parser.prototype = {
context: function(parser){
if (parser) {
this.contexts.push(parser);
} else {
return this.contexts.pop();
}
},
advance: function(){
return this.lexer.advance();
}
};
In the first example you are creating a class, ideally you should use it with "new" in your caller program:
var PrinterObj = require('Printer.js').PrinterObj;
var printer = new PrinterObj();
printer.PrintNow();
This is a good read on the subject: http://www.2ality.com/2012/01/js-inheritance-by-example.html
In the second example you are returning a function.
The difference is that you can have multiple instances of the first example (provided you use new as indicated) but only one instance of the second approach.
