To use console.log()
from a content script in a Chrome extension, you simply include the console.log()
statements in your content script JavaScript file. Here’s a basic example:
- Create Your Content Script
Create a JavaScript file for your content script, let’s call it content.js
. Include your console.log()
statements within this file.
// content.js
console.log("This message is logged from the content script!");
- Manifest File
Make sure your manifest.json
file includes the content script and specifies the pages where it should run. For example:
{
"name": "My extension",
...
"content_scripts": [
{
"matches": ["https://*.hoverconsole.com/*"],
"css": ["my-styles.css"],
"js": ["content-script.js"]
}
],
...
}
- Load the Extension
Load your extension into Chrome. Make sure to reload it if it’s already installed so that changes to the content script take effect.
- Check the Console
Navigate to a page where your content script is set to run (based on the "matches"
in the manifest file). Open the Developer Tools in Chrome (right-click on the page, then “Inspect” or press Ctrl+Shift+I
), and go to the “Console” tab. You should see the message from your content script logged there.
This is a basic setup for logging messages from a content script in a Chrome extension. You can use console.log()
just like you would in any other JavaScript file to debug your extension’s behavior.
