Build a word of the day chrome extension that fetches a word and its definition via an API and displays them in a clean new tab.
Build an epic mode Chrome extension with a popup dropdown to select tracks and play them in a persistent background page, with play and pause controls.
Create a to do list chrome extension that pops out in the corner and stores items in local storage as a JSON object, with options to add, complete, and delete.
Build a web scraper and automation tool as a Chrome extension with a pop-out UI. Use wait, click, enter text, and save commands, with messaging between popup and content script.
Hey there, in this New Year Special we will create 4 extensions in this course from start to finish.
We will be building a word of the day new tab extension, the second extension is called "Epic Mode" which will play music whilst we browse from a background page (similar to Noisli), next we will build a simple todo list that will use localStorage. Finally, the last extension is a web scraper / automation tool that will interact with the active web page and perform a set of commands that we can select.
The aim of the course is to show how quickly you can prototype ideas using a Chrome Extension and also to help you get to grips with how extensions are built. You will learn how to set up an extension including the manifest file, the different types of extensions you can build & how to quickly prototype your ideas into working extensions.
(All of the source code that we start with and the completed projects will be available to download to help speed up the development process)
If you have ever wondered how a Chrome Extension is created or have an idea for an extension you want to create, then this is the perfect course for you!
