Can we make Google Extension using p5.js ?

Vlain

I don't know if we could make an extension using p5. If someone can, please show me an example. Thank you very much

Can you please confirm that you mean this:

• https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/getstarted

...and explain what it is that you are trying to do with p5.js? Due to the browser security model some things are possible with Chrome extensions and some are not.

Yes, I'm saying about Google Chrome, I think it will be interesting if we bring some animation to the pop-up or new tab

You should be able to do that.

1. First, make an extension that creates a new tab using the Chrome extension API. See for example:

   • https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/getstarted
   • https://code.tutsplus.com/tutorials/developing-google-chrome-extensions--net-33076
   • https://robots.thoughtbot.com/how-to-make-a-chrome-extension

2. Then add the p5.js library and put a p5.js sketch in that tab.
