Allow changing NickJS options after the initial constructor #17

Closed Leftium closed 6 years ago

Leftium commented 6 years ago

Please enable changing NickJS options after the initial constructor. Specifically, I would like to modify:

loadImages flag
blacklist/whitelist
(and the print* flags would be nice, too)

Motivation: I would like to use a special configuration just when logging in

Login page requires loadImages=true and no blacklists
but other pages are OK with loadImages=false and blacklists (and load faster without images & JS files)

Hi Leftium, sorry for the delay.

This is not officially supported but you can do nick.options.loadImages = false and similar. This will only work on new tabs, so close your tab with tab.close() and open a new one. It should use the new options. Don't worry, cookies are kept between tabs.

Can you confirm this works? Thanks
