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.
On subdomains such as http://gist.github.com dotjs will try to load ~/.js/gist.github.com.js as well as ~/.js/github.com.js and ~/.js/com.js.
Bonus: files in ~/.js have jQuery 1.9 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
$('a[class^=header-logo-]').html(
$('<img>')
.attr('src', '//bit.ly/ghD24e')
.css({'width': 'auto', 'height': '22px'})
);
How It Works
Chrome extensions can’t access the local filesystem, so dotjs runs a tiny web server on port 3131 that serves files out of ~/.js.
The dotjs Chrome extension then makes ajax requests to http://localhost:3131/convore.com.js any time you hit a page on convore.com, for example, and executes the returned JavaScript.
Requires
Python >= 2.6
Google Chrome
Install it
git clone http://github.com/hackedd/python-dotjs cd python-dotjs python setup.py install
OS X:
Open https://localhost:3131 in Google Chrome
Click the “X” Padlock icon in the address bar
Click “Certificate Information”
Drag the large cert icon to your desktop
Open it with Keychain
Configure its Trust section as shown: http://cl.ly/Pdny
Windows:
Export the certificate as a “.cer” file:
dotjs --print-cert > %TEMP%\dotjs.cer
Right-click the exported “.cer” file, click “Install Certificate”
Complete the Wizard to import the certificate to the Windows Certificate store. Make sure to select Trusted Root Certification Authorities as the destination store when asked.
Ubuntu:
Use certutil to import the certificate to your NSS database:
dotjs --print-cert | certutil -d sql:$HOME/.pki/nssdb -A \ -t "P,," -n localhost-dotjs
You might need to restart Chrome before it sees the certificate as trusted. You can verify if the certificate is correctly installed by opening https://localhost:3131 in Chrome.
Finally install the Google Chrome extension: http://bit.ly/dotjs
