Chrome Extensions + Dart

Question

Is it possible? I tried to insert the google dart api into page body and all I get is blank page, no script running...

Answer 1

You can currently not use Dart for writing extensions in Chrome as Dart is not available in it. There exists a Chromium version called Dartium that has Dart support build in, but the extension API in it does not seam to be Dart enabled just yet.

Answer 2

There is the cool package chrome available at http://pub.dartlang.org that does axactly this

A library for accessing the Chrome APIs in a packaged app or extension.

Answer 3

Yes, it is straight forward. You need to create 3 Dart apps (for background, popup and options page) and use the dart:js package to communicate with the chrome extensions API.

Kudos to Chris Bucket for the blog entry about Using Dart for Chrome Packaged Apps.
