Two suggestions (one I accidentally sent only to James):
chrome.extension.Port:
// ID of the extension at the other side of this port.
String senderID;
Port currently has a 'tab' property if the sender was a tab. Maybe we
should group these:
chrome.extension.Port:
Object sender:
Object tab; // if the sender was a tab
String id; // ID of the sending extension.
chrome.extension:
// Open a channel to another extension with the provided ID.
// If no extension with the provided ID exists, nothing happens.
// Otherwise the chrome.extension.onConnectExternal event is fired
// to all components of the extension with the provided ID each time
// the method is called.
// The channel can optionally be named. This name will be sent along
// with the onConnectExternal event
Port connectExternal(string ID, [string channelName])
It makes more sense to me to have the API mirror the regular connect event:
> chrome.extension.connect(); // connects to my own extension
> other = new chrome.Extension('abcef...');
other.connect(); // connects to extension abcdef...
