pnpm add @adguard/tswebextension
You can find examples in packages/examples/tswebextension-*
Note:
Before running compiled app, load the web accessible resources for redirect rules
via built-in cli:
tswebextension war [path]
or intergrate loading in your build pipeline:
import { copyWar, DEFAULT_WAR_PATH } from '@adguard/tswebextension/cli';
const build = async () => {
...
await copyWar(DEFAULT_WAR_PATH);
...
};
If path is not defined, the resources will be loaded to build/war
relative to your current working directory by default
The console interface provides useful tools for building extensions.
Usage: tswebextension-utils [options] [command]
CLI to some development utils
Options:
-V, --version output the version number
-h, --help display help for command
Commands:
war [path] Downloads web accessible resources for
redirect rules
help [command] display help for command
The main idea of the library is to provide a common interface for different browsers and manifest versions. via Configuration object.
TsWebExtension class provides a set of methods for filtering content from the extension's background context.
MV2 submodule also provides a set of methods for filtering log management.
type: Configuration

List of custom filters that can be added/edited/deleted by the user.
type: number
Filter identifier.
type: string
Raw filter list.
type: Record<string, number>
Source map, where key is the rule start index in the byte buffer content
and value is the line start index in the raw filter list.

Conversion map, where key is the line start index in the raw filter list and value is the rule text.
type: Uint8Array[]
AGTree byte buffer chunks.
type: string
Path to the filter list file.
type: string
Path to directory with converted rule sets.
type: boolean
Enables filtering log if true.
type: string[]
List of hostnames or domains of sites, which should be excluded from blocking or which should be included in blocking depending on the value of allowlistInverted setting value.
type: string[]
List of domain names of sites, which should be temporary excluded from document blocking.
type: Uint8Array[]
AGTree byte buffer chunks.

Source map, where key is the rule start index in the byte buffer content
and value is the line start index in the raw filter list.
type: Record<string, string>
Conversion map, where key is the line start index in the raw filter list and value is the rule text.
type: Uint8Array[]
AGTree byte buffer chunks.
type: boolean | undefined
Optional flag responsible for logging. Defaults to true. Will be removed in the next minor version.
type: string | undefined
Optional flag that sets logging level, defaults to 'error'. Available levels: 'error', 'warn', 'info', 'debug'.
type: SettingsConfig
Settings configuration object.
type: boolean
If this flag is true, the application will work ONLY with domains from the allowlist, otherwise it will work everywhere EXCLUDING domains from the list.
type: boolean
Flag specifying allowlist enable state. We don't use allowlist array length condition for calculate enable state, because it's not cover case with empty list in inverted mode.
type: boolean
Enables css hits counter if true.
Optional, type: boolean
Defaults to false. Enables scriptlets logging in console if true.
type: boolean
Enables stealth mode if true.
type: boolean
Enables filtering if true.

module. Necessary for lazy on-demand loading of the assistant.

type: number
Time in minutes to delete first-party cookies.
type: boolean
Should the application set a fixed lifetime from selfDestructThirdPartyCookiesTime for third-party cookies.
type: number
Time in minutes to delete third-party cookies.
type: boolean
Should the application hide the origin referrer in third-party requests by replacing the referrer url with the request url.
type: boolean
Should the application hide the original referrer from the search page containing the search query in third-party queries, replacing the referrer url with the request url.
type: boolean
For Google Chrome, it removes the 'X-Client-Data' header from the requests, which contains information about the browser version and modifications.

This project is part of the @adguard/extensions
monorepo.
It is highly recommended to use lerna
for commands, as it will execute scripts in the correct order and can cache dependencies.
