Documentation

This extension makes use of HTML5 video player's APIs to control the media played, runtime ports to pass messages and a popup page written in react.js to give users the control. The various files present are:

• contentScript.js: has a mutation observer to listen to track name changes in YouTube tab and also manipulates DOM to control the media
• tabController.js: is tied to the extension and forwards messages to contentScript
• popupScript.js: sends a message to popupController when user performs any action in the popup page
• popupController.js: is tied to the extension and forwards messages from popup page to tabController
• background.js: contains the state of the media, port sink and acts as a bridge between content scripts and popup script
• index.js: contains the React components which renders the widget in the popup page
