Asks the user for the permissions listed in the permissions.Permissions object.
The Permissions argument can contain an origins property, an array of host permissions, a permissions property, an array of API permissions, or both.
Requested permissions must be defined in the optional_permissions manifest.json key. The origins property can include permissions matching a subset of the hosts matched by an optional permission. For example, if optional_permissions include "*://mozilla.org/", then permissions.origins can include "https://developer.mozilla.org/".
Requests for optional-only permissions can't include any other optional permissions.
The request can only be made inside the handler for a user action. Unless all the permissions requested are ones granted silently, the browser asks the user whether to grant the requested permissions. One request is made for all requested permissions: either all permissions are granted or none are.
The extension retains any permissions granted, even over upgrade and disable and enable cycling.
This is an asynchronous function that returns a Promise.
let requesting = browser.permissions.request(
permissions // Permissions object
)
A Promise that is fulfilled with true if the extension is granted the permissions listed in the permissions argument, or false otherwise.
This code adds a click handler that asks for various permissions, then logs the result of the request and the extension's permissions after the request completes.
const permissionsToRequest = {
permissions: ["bookmarks", "history"],
origins: ["https://developer.mozilla.org/"],
};
async function requestPermissions() {
function onResponse(response) {
if (response) {
console.log("Permission was granted");
} else {
console.log("Permission was refused");
}
return browser.permissions.getAll();
}
const response = await browser.permissions.request(permissionsToRequest);
const currentPermissions = await onResponse(response);
console.log(`Current permissions:`, currentPermissions);
}
document
.querySelector("#request")
.addEventListener("click", requestPermissions);
