loading multiple JS files in Content script

[Julien Genestoux]

Hello,

I know it's possible to load several JS files in a content script and that's great.

What would be even better is if I could just put a folder and it would load all files in it, or define some kind of pattern, like "js/*.js" and it would load all files matching this.

Is that doable in any way?

Thanks,

Unfortunately not.  Hopefully you're not writing an extension with a prohibitive number of javascript includes for content scripts, though.  If the amount is too many to include by hand, I would suggest using a JS compiler or minifier to concatenate the files together before loading them into your extension.

Yup, that's what I expected... It's not so much that it's big files, but for the sake of clarity, I wanted to split a decently big file (couple hundred locs) into several small ones.

Thanks though!

Why don’t you modify “content_scripts” part of manifest.json file as follows?

"content_scripts": [
    {
......

......

 

  "js": [
   "first.js",
   "second.js",
   "third.js",
   "fourth.js",
   "contentscript.js"
   ],

......

......

It works for my extension.

That's what he was doing, but wanted a way to not have to list them all individually.
