Hi,
I'm building a safari extension... I need to get some settings, but, messages are asynchronous, so, if I query the global page for some settings, it isn't there right away... How can I solve this??
Global page (the message is received by the injected JS script)
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<script language="javascript">
function messageHandler(event) {
var activeTab = event.target.browserWindow.activeTab
if (event.name === "getSettings") {
activeTab.page.dispatchMessage("returnedSettings", safari.extension.settings[event.message]);
} else if(event.name === 'openNewTab') {
safari.application.activeBrowserWindow.openTab().url = event.message;
activeTab.page.dispatchMessage("focus");
} else if(event.name === 'openNewVenster') {
safari.application.openBrowserWindow().activeTab.url = event.message;
//activeTab.page.dispatchMessage("focus");
}
}
safari.application.addEventListener("message", messageHandler, false);
</script>
</head>
</html>
main.js
var oi = 'tab';
// Message Event Handler
function handleMessage(e) {
if(e.name == 'returnedSettings') {
oi = e.message;
} else if(e.name == 'focus') {
window.focus();
}
}
// Message Event Listener
safari.self.addEventListener('message', handleMessage, false);
safari.self.tab.dispatchMessage('getSettings', 'open');
I need var oi in code under here... But I don't know how I can get it there, because it will be default if the code is executed, because of asynchronous messages...
