This is a recurring question I always have to look out: How to view the source code of a Chrome Extension?

I document here the step-by-step answer.

Quick Share a link to Microsoft Teams

I have discovered recently by chance this nice feature: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/platform/concepts/build-and-test/share-to-teams that allows to quickly share a link from the browser into a Microsoft Teams Channel.

I share here my learnings and how to integrate this feature e.g. to a hotkey.

Chrome Extension: Close Current Tab

Introduction I've faced the challenge in a Chrome extension to close the current tab - and the chrome window if this Tab is the last one.

Standard answer

chrome.tabs.query({"active": true, "lastFocusedWindow": true}, function (tabs) {
						chrome.tabs.remove(tabs[0]);
					  });

The drawback of this solution is that it won't close the Chrome window if it is the last tab to be closed.

My solution (close window if last tab)

/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

function closeCurrentTab(){

// Close current tab and browser window if last tab

// chrome.tabs.remove will not close the window on last tab closure -> needs to check if single tab opened

chrome.tabs.query({

    //active: true,

    currentWindow: true

}, function(tabs)   {

    if (tabs.length > 1) {

        chrome.tabs.query({

            active: true,

            currentWindow: true

        }, function(tabs)   {

        chrome.tabs.remove(tabs[0].id, function() { });

        });

    } else {

        chrome.windows.getCurrent(function(win) {

            chrome.windows.remove(win.id, function() { });

        });

    }       

});
