devtools.panels.ExtensionSidebarPane.setObject()
Displays a JSON object in the extension's sidebar pane.
The object is displayed as an expandable tree, as in the JSON viewer in Firefox. You can optionally specify a rootTitle string: this will be displayed as the title of the tree's root.
This is an asynchronous function that returns a Promise.
Syntax
let setting = browser.devtools.panels.setObject(
jsonObject, // string, array, or JSON object
rootTitle // string
)
Parameters
jsonObject-
StringorArrayorObject. The object to display. If this is an object it is JSON-serialized, so properties like functions will be omitted. rootTitleOptional-
String. The title of the root of the tree in which the object is displayed.
Return value
A Promise that will be fulfilled with no arguments, once the object has been set.
Examples
Create a new pane, and populate it with a JSON object. You could run this code in a script loaded by your extension's devtools page.
function onCreated(sidebarPane) {
sidebarPane.setObject({
someBool: true,
someString: "hello there",
someObject: {
someNumber: 42,
someOtherString: "this is my pane's content",
},
});
}
browser.devtools.panels.elements.createSidebarPane("My pane").then(onCreated);
