I want my extension to add elements to a page. But the site uses React
which means every time there's a change the page is re-rendered but without the elements that I added.
I'm only passingly familiar with React from some tutorial apps I built a long time ago.
I implemented @wOxxOm's comment to use MutationObserver
and it worked very well.
static placeAndObserveMutations (insertionBoxSelector) {
let placer = new Placement ();
placer.place(insertionBoxSelector);
placer.observeMutations(insertionBoxSelector);
}
place (insertionBoxSelector) {
let box = $(insertionBoxSelector)
this.insertionBox = box; //insertionBox is the element that the content
// will be appended to
this.addedBox = EnterBox.addInfo(box); //addedBox is the content
// Worth noting that at this point it's fairly empty. It'll get filled by
// async ajax calls while this is running. And all that will still be there
// when it's added back in the callback later.
}
observeMutations(insertionBoxSelector) {
let observer = new MutationObserver (this.replaceBox.bind(this));
// this.insertionBox is a jQuery object and I assume `observe` doesn't accept that
let insertionBox = document.querySelector(insertionBoxSelector);
observer.observe(title, {attributes: true});
}
replaceBox () {
this.insertionBox.append(this.addedBox);
_position (this.addedBox);
}
That being said someone suggested adding the content above the React
node (ie the body
) and just positioning the added content absolutely relative to the window. And as this will actually solve a separate problem I was having on some pages of a site I'll probably do that. Also, it's far simpler.
But I thought this was still an interesting solution to a rare problem so I wanted to post it as well.
