Deno Native Messaging Host

Installation and usage on Chrome and Chromium

1. Navigate to `chrome://extensions`.

2. Toggle `Developer mode`.

3. Click `Load unpacked`.

4. Select native-messaging-deno folder.

5. Note the generated extension ID.

6. Open `nm_deno.json` in a text editor, set `"path"` to absolute path of `nm_deno.js` and `chrome-extension:///` using ID from 5 in `"allowed_origins"` array. 

7. Copy the file to Chrome or Chromium configuration folder, e.g., Chromium on \*nix `~/.config/chromium/NativeMessagingHosts`; Chrome dev channel on \*nix `~/.config/google-chrome-unstable/NativeMessagingHosts`.

8. Make sure `deno` executable and `nm_deno.js` are executable. To download `deno` executable into the cloned GitHub directory that is used as the local unpacked extension directory (and optionally strip symbolic information from the `deno` executable to reduce size) you can run

```

    wget --show-progress \

    --progress=bar \

    --output-document deno.zip \

    https://github.com/denoland/deno/releases/latest/download/deno-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.zip \

    && unzip deno.zip \

    && rm deno.zip \

    && strip deno 

```

9. To test click `service worker` link in panel of unpacked extension which is DevTools for background.js in MV3 `ServiceWorker`, observe echo'ed message Deno Native Messaging host. To disconnect run `port.disconnect()`.

The Native Messaging host echoes back the message passed.
