pageAction.setIcon()
Sets the icon for the page action.
You can specify a single icon as either the path to an image file or a pageAction.ImageDataType
object.
You can specify multiple icons in different sizes by supplying a dictionary containing multiple paths or ImageData
objects. This means the icon doesn't have to be scaled for a device with a different pixel density.
This is an asynchronous function that returns a Promise
.
Syntax
let settingIcon = browser.pageAction.setIcon(
details // object
)
Parameters
details
-
object
. An object containing eitherimageData
orpath
properties, and atabId
property.imageData
Optional-
orpageAction.ImageDataType
object
. This is either a singleImageData
object or a dictionary object.Use a dictionary object to specify multiple
ImageData
objects in different sizes, so the icon does not have to be scaled for a device with a different pixel density. IfimageData
is a dictionary, the value of each property is anImageData
object, and its name is its size, like this:jslet settingIcon = browser.action.setIcon({ imageData: { 16: image16, 32: image32, }, });
The browser will choose the image to use depending on the screen's pixel density. See Choosing icon sizes for more information on this.
path
Optional-
string
orobject
. This is either a relative path to an icon file or a dictionary object.Use a dictionary object to specify multiple icon files in different sizes, so the icon does not have to be scaled for a device with a different pixel density. If
path
is a dictionary, the value of each property is a relative path, and its name is its size, like this:jslet settingIcon = browser.action.setIcon({ path: { 16: "path/to/image16.jpg", 32: "path/to/image32.jpg", }, });
The browser will choose the image to use depending on the screen's pixel density. See Choosing icon sizes for more information on this.
If
path
isnull
, this will reset the page action's icon to the icon that was given in thepage_action
manifest key.If
path
is""
, this will reset the icon to the browser's global default icon (that is, the icon used if no icon is given in thepage_action
manifest key).If
path
does not point to a valid icon, then no icon will be displayed. tabId
-
integer
. The ID of the tab whose icon you want to set.
Return value
A Promise
that will be fulfilled with no arguments once the icon has been set.
Browser compatibility
BCD tables only load in the browser
Examples
Set the icon for the page action when the user clicks it:
browser.pageAction.onClicked.addListener((tab) => {
browser.pageAction.setIcon({
tabId: tab.id,
path: "icons/icon-48.png",
});
});
