Document Connector App API #8

Open emaxx-google opened 8 years ago

emaxx-google commented 8 years ago

Currently, the API exposed by the Connector App is described in the root README file only briefly.

We should find a way to document it properly (including the details of how structured data and raw data are serialized). Probably, JSON Schema should be used.

We are simply trying to detect whether the Google Smart Card Connector has been installed or not. What we have for the moment:

chrome.runtime.sendMessage("khpfeaanjngmcnplbdlpegiifgpfgdco",
            {
                "type": "ping",
                "data": {}
            },
            function (response) {
                console.log(response);
            });

which makes the Smart Card Connector to pop-up, but always gives me undefined as console result. A basic documentation at the message-level of the API would be useful I guess...

This is still missing. For what it's worth, this low-level message-based API will be superseded by the Web Smart Card API if it gets implemented in Chrome: https://wicg.github.io/web-smart-card/
