# Chrome extension WebSocket example
|
|
|
|
This example demonstrates how to use WebSockets in a MV3 Chrome Extension. Starting with Chrome version M116, WebSocket
|
|
activity will extend the service worker lifetime. In previous Chrome versions, the service worker will become inactive
|
|
while waiting for messages and disconnect the WebSocket.
|
|
|
|
## Running this extension
|
|
|
|
1. Clone this repository.
|
|
2. Load this directory in Chrome as an [unpacked extension](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/mv3/getstarted/development-basics/#load-unpacked).
|
|
3. Pin the extension from the extension menu.
|
|
4. Click the extension's action icon to start a web socket connection.
|
|
5. Click the extension's action again to stop the web socket connection.
|
|
6. Check the [service worker status](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/mv3/tut_debugging/#sw-status) to see when the service worker is active/inactive.
