I am working on a Chrome Extension and I am trying to send a CustomEvent to the content_script from the web page, but I want to attach a function to it.
This works (when I console.log the event in the content_script I can see the detail object as shown below) :
var myEvent = new CustomEvent('myEvent', {
"detail": {
action:'test',
foo:'bar'
}
});
But this does not work (when I console.log the event in the content_script, detail is null):
var myEvent = new CustomEvent('myEvent', {
"detail": {
action:'test',
foo:()=>{
console.log("hi");
}
}
});
I also tried this way :
myEvent.foo = ()=>{console.log("hi")};
But again when I console.log the event those properties do not exist.
I don't think that is important but the event is triggered from a React App like this :
document.dispatchEvent(event);
Can you tell me why, and how to send it properly ?
Thanks
