As some of you may know, Google Chrome has put some severe limitation on Greasemonkey scripts.
Chromium does not support
@require,@resource,unsafeWindow,GM_registerMenuCommand,GM_setValue, orGM_getValue.
Without require, I can't find a way to include the jQuery library in Greasemonkey script under Google Chrome.
Does anybody have some advice in this matter?
If the page already has jQuery, then just follow this template:
// ==UserScript==
// @name My Script
// @namespace my-script
// @description Blah
// @version 1.0
// @include http://site.com/*
// @author Me
// ==/UserScript==
var main = function () {
// use $ or jQuery here, however the page is using it
};
// Inject our main script
var script = document.createElement('script');
script.type = "text/javascript";
script.textContent = '(' + main.toString() + ')();';
document.body.appendChild(script);
I wonder if you couldn't rely on document.defaultView.jQuery in your GM script ala:
if (document.defaultView.jQuery) {
jQueryLoaded(document.defaultView.jQuery);
} else {
var jq = document.createElement('script');
jq.src = 'http://jquery.com/src/jquery-latest.js';
jq.type = 'text/javascript';
document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(jq);
(function() {
if (document.defaultView.jQuery) jQueryLoaded(document.defaultView.jQuery);
else setTimeout(arguments.callee, 100);
})();
}
function jQueryLoaded($) {
console.dir($);
}
