Help you manage manifest when you are developing Chrome Apps and Extensions

$ npm install --save chrome-manifest
Usage
Manifest
var Manifest = require('chrome-manifest');
var manifest = new Manifest('manifest.json');
// exclude value or key what you want
manifest.exclude([
{
// you can use string array expression to access array property
'content_scripts.[0].matches': [
"http://*/*"
]
},
{
'background.scripts': [
'scripts/willbe-remove-only-for-debug.js',
'scripts/user-script.js'
]
},
'manifest_version',
'key'
]);
// get/set
console.log(manifest.content_scripts.[0].matches.length);
console.log(manifest.content_scripts.[0]);
console.log(manifest.background.scripts);
console.log(manifest.manifest_version);
console.log(manifest.manifest['key']);
// patch version from 0.0.1 to 0.0.2
manifest.patch();
// Get various types
console.log(manifest.toJSON());
console.log(manifest.toBuffer());
console.log(manifest.toString());
Metadata
Generating manifest.json with basic sample configures
var Manifest = require('chrome-manifest');
// Query permissions by stable and platform_app(Chrome Apps)
var metadata = Manifest.queryMetadata({
channel: 'stable',
extensionTypes: ['platform_app']
});
// Create a manifest with selected fields and permissions of Chrome Manifest
var manifest = new Manifest({
fields: Object.keys(metadata.fields),
permissions: Object.keys(metadata.permissions)
});
// Merge with new value
manifest.merge({
name: 'My Apps',
author: 'New Author',
app: {
background: {
scripts: [
"scripts/background.js",
"scripts/addmore.js"
]
}
},
permissions: [
'tabs',
'http://*/**',
'https://*/**',
'test permissions'
]
});
assert.equal(manifest.name, 'My Apps');
assert.equal(manifest.author, 'New Author');
assert.equal(manifest.app.background.scripts.length, 2);
assert.equal(manifest.app.background.scripts[1], 'scripts/addmore.js');
assert(manifest.permissions.indexOf('test permissions') >= 0);
