Omni Plus

Great tools in one line.

The goal of this extension is to provide some handy utilities that can be accessed right in the Chrome Omnibox.

Test it in Chrome

Please run npm start or webpack at fisrt to make dist/ available. Then drag dist/ into Chrome.

Basic outline:

Core:

namespace Omnibox Input listener and dispatcher. Also handling new command register.

namespace Notification Send notifications about results. Provides pre-defined notification types.

namespace Messaging Handling external command register.

Pre-defined commands:

namespace Management Extensions related stuff, launch, enable/disable.

namespace BrowserBasic History, bookmark, top sites, tabs, Chrome urls.

namespace Time Set a reminder.

namespace Misc Exverything else.

How to extend:

Omnibox.register()

Omnibox.register({
  key: string, //The command text
  format?: { reg: RegExp, info: string }, //The help text of correct input format, if any
  description: string, //An explaination of what this command gonna do
  input?: (content: string, suggest: (suggesResults: chrome.omnibox.SuggestResult[]) => void) => void, //This function receive user input and return suggestions
  accept: (content?: string) => void, //Once user hit enter, this function handles everything else
  extensionId?: string //WIP Identify an external command
})

When providing suggestions, there're three possible situations:

1. input() => void

   Whenever input() function is provided, Omni Plus will use it to provide suggestions.

2. No input() but has format

   Omni Plus will check the user input using format.reg , when user got things wrong, it'll suggest "Correct Fomat {format.info}". If everyting is ok, Omni Plus will suggest the description.

3. No input() and format

   Omni Plus will use description as the only suggestion.

providerItem

All registered command will be presented as new providerItem(info)

class providerItem {
  public key: string;
  public format?: { reg: RegExp, info: string };
  public description: string;
  public input?: (content: string, suggest: (suggesResults: chrome.omnibox.SuggestResult[]) => void) => void;
  public accept: (content?: string) => void;
  public extensionId?: string;
  //misc properties and utility functions
  misc: {
    urlReg: RegExp,
    encodeXml (str: string): string
  }
  //search provided data and return formatted suggestions array
  search(data: any[], input: string, searchKeys: string[], suggestKeys: string[],
    callback: (response: chrome.omnibox.SuggestResult[]) => void, condition?: any[]) => void;
  //return suggestions array out of data without searching
  form(data: any[], suggestKeys: string[],
    callback: (response: chrome.omnibox.SuggestResult[]) => void) => void;
  //return input content by removing key text
  extract(content: string): string;
  //self destroying
  _() => void;
}

When writing the input() and accept() , there're some handy functions and misc stuff provided. Could be accessed using this. or let self = this; self.
