Im injecting a script in webpage via content script. Inside the script I am using chrome.runtime.sendMessage to successfully send a message to background script. However I have the extensionId hardcoded. How would I dynamically inject the extension id in webpage to send messages to background script?

chrome.runtime.sendMessage(extensionIdHardCoded, {
      msg: data
    },
    function(response) {});

• 1 Unfortunately, it must be hardcoded. – Daniel Herr Commented Dec 22, 2015 at 3:00
• @DanielHerr are there any security measures I should in this scenario? My extension just manipulated JS on the front end, and has callbacks between the webpage and background script. – atom Commented Dec 22, 2015 at 4:26

First off, if you already have a content script, you don't have to use externally_connectable to municate - you could use custom events to municate with the content script that would forward it to background.

That said, you can use chrome.runtime.id and pass it to the window context before injecting your script:

var script = document.createElement('script');
script.textContent = "var extensionId = " + JSON.stringify(chrome.runtime.id);
(document.head||document.documentElement).appendChild(script);
script.parentNode.removeChild(script);

/* now inject your script */

Alternatively, you could add an invisible DOM node that would contain the ID as content or some attribute and read that from the injected script.

Use chrome.runtime.id like this:

chrome.runtime.sendMessage(chrome.runtime.id, {
    msg: data
},
function(response) {});
