## Install

```sh

$ npm install --save chrome-manifest

```

## Usage

### Manifest

```js

var Manifest = require('chrome-manifest');

var manifest = new Manifest('manifest.json');

// exclude value or key what you want

manifest.exclude([

  {

    // you can use string array expression to access array property

    'content_scripts.[0].matches': [

      "http://*/*"

    ]

  },

  {

    'background.scripts': [

      'scripts/willbe-remove-only-for-debug.js',

      'scripts/user-script.js'

    ]

  },

  'manifest_version',

  'key'

]);

// get/set

console.log(manifest.content_scripts.[0].matches.length);

console.log(manifest.content_scripts.[0]);

console.log(manifest.background.scripts);

console.log(manifest.manifest_version);

console.log(manifest.manifest['key']);

// patch version from 0.0.1 to 0.0.2

manifest.patch();

// Get various types

console.log(manifest.toJSON());

console.log(manifest.toBuffer());

console.log(manifest.toString());

```

### Metadata

Generating manifest.json with basic sample configures

```js

var Manifest = require('chrome-manifest');

// Query permissions by stable and platform_app(Chrome Apps)

var metadata = Manifest.queryMetadata({

  channel: 'stable',

  extensionTypes: ['platform_app']

});

// Create a manifest with selected fields and permissions of Chrome Manifest

var manifest = new Manifest({

  fields: Object.keys(metadata.fields),

  permissions: Object.keys(metadata.permissions)

});

// Merge with new value

manifest.merge({

  name: 'My Apps',

  author: 'New Author',

  app: {

    background: {

      scripts: [

        "scripts/background.js",

        "scripts/addmore.js"

      ]

    }

  },

  permissions: [

    'tabs',

    'http://*/**',

    'https://*/**',

    'test permissions'

  ]

});

assert.equal(manifest.name, 'My Apps');

assert.equal(manifest.author, 'New Author');

assert.equal(manifest.app.background.scripts.length, 2);

assert.equal(manifest.app.background.scripts[1], 'scripts/addmore.js');

assert(manifest.permissions.indexOf('test permissions') >= 0);

```
