google chrome extension

[Abhineet Baranwal]

Can i create a chrome extension in django or flask ? I have already created an extension in javascript but i didn't know how to start creating it in django . Can anyone tell me how to do it with some example?

Greetings,

for Chrome Extension, you must use Javascript, or Javascript + Native Code (compiling for the target platform, and distributing it with the extension). So the quick answer is "You shouldn't do it", but it might be possible. I don't think it would be approved thought, because you would have to distribute a python interpreter with you extension, the extension size would be huge.

However, if your extension is meant to communicate with a server side application, this part can be whatever you want, providing a REST API for your extension.

Hope it helps !

Regards,

Alex

I also think the server side of the extension can use Django (or any other platform and programming language) but the extension itself (the client side) - I'm not sure it's a good idea to use Django.

Try to search about Chrome extensions and see what it takes to make one. I think JavaScript is the default and easiest way to create an extension.
