dotjs
dotjs is a Google Chrome extension that executes JavaScript files in ~/.js
based on their filename.
If you navigate to http://www.google.com/
, dotjs will execute ~/.js/google.com.js
.
This makes it super easy to spruce up your favorite pages using JavaScript.
Bonus: files in ~/.js
have jQuery 1.6 loaded, regardless of whether the site you're hacking uses jQuery.
Double bonus: `~/.js/default.js` is loaded on every request, meaning you can stick plugins or helper functions in it.
GreaseMonkey user scripts are great, but you need to publish them somewhere and re-publish after making modifications. With dotjs, just add or edit files in ~/.js
.
Example
$ cat ~/.js/github.com.js
// swap github logo with trollface
$'#header .logo img'
css'width''100px'
css'margin-top''-15px'
attr'src''//bit.ly/ghD24e'
