Easily import JS and CSS resources from Chrome console.

Console Importer

Installation

Install it from Chrome Web Store:

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/console-importer/hgajpakhafplebkdljleajgbpdmplhie

Usage

Open Chrome devtools console, a function named $i could be used to import JavaScript and CSS resources.

$i('jquery')

Import specific version:

$i('jquery@2')

Also, you can import a valid script URL:

$i('https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.1.1/jquery.min.js')

CSS is supported, too:

$i('https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css')

Trouble shooting

Q: $i doesn't work as expected

Some websites like Google Inbox already have $i used as a global variable. This extension doesn't overwrite it.

You can use console.$i on these websites.

Q: $i fail to import resources

On some websites like GitHub, $i will fail to import resources. Console warning may be like follows:

Refused to load the stylesheet 'https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css' because it violates the following Content Security Policy directive: "style-src 'unsafe-inline' assets-cdn.github.com".

It is because of strict Content Security Policy of these websites. For more information, see Content Security Policy (CSP) wiki

How does it work?

• If it is like a JavaScript lib name, like jquery, try to load it from cdnjs
• If it has version number, like jquery@2, try to load it from unpkg
• If it is a valid URL(CSS or JS), load it directly

For advanced use, there are also two functions $i.unpkg and $i.cdnjs which could be used to import resources from specific CDN.
