Some guides:
- Editor: the main developer uses VSCode

## Cross-extension messaging
Mouse Dictionary supports receiving [cross-extension messages](https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/messaging). [Mouse Dictionary iframe support](https://github.com/wtetsu/mouse-dictionary-iframe) is a good example that implements message sending to this extension.
Here is a code example for sending a message to Mouse Dictionary. You can make Mouse Dictionary look up words/expressions from other extensions.
```js
const MD_EXTENSION_ID = "dnclbikcihnpjohihfcmmldgkjnebgnj";
chrome.runtime.sendMessage(MD_EXTENSION_ID, {
type: "text",
text: "rained cats and dogs",
});
```
Parameters:
| name | type | value |
| ---- | ------ | ------------------------ |
| type | string | must be "text" |
| text | string | text you want to look up |
