EvenBetterAPI

Note

I think that current Caido SDK is enough for most of the things you might want to do. This API has been built when plugins were still a simple Custom JS box. I think that this API is still useful for things that need to edit core Caido functionality - thats why I still use it in reworked EvenBetter version.

EvenBetterAPI is a API that is used in EvenBetter.

Here's what you can do with this API:

• Listen to custom events like: onCaidoLoad, onContextMenuOpen, onPageOpen, onSettingsTabOpen.
• Create tables and fill it with your data by using the EvenBetterAPI.components.createTable object.
• Create navigation menus by using the EvenBetterAPI.components.createNavigationBar function.
• Add prompts to commands in the command palette by using the EvenBetterAPI.promptCommands.createPromptCommand function.
• Create components such as text inputs, checkboxes, etc. by using the EvenBetterAPI.components object.
• Open modals by using the EvenBetterAPI.modal object.
• Show toast notifications by using the EvenBetterAPI.toast object.

Example: creating a table

const evenBetterAPI = new EvenBetterAPI(caido, {
  manifestID: "evenbetter-sampleplugin",
  name: "EvenBetter: Sample Plugin",
});

const randomTable = evenBetterAPI.components.createTable({
    columns: [
      { name: "Name", width: "15em" },
      { name: "Value", width: "15em" },
    ],
});

randomTable.addRow([
  {
    columnName: "Name",
    value: "EvenBetterAPI",
  },
  {
    columnName: "Value",
    value: "Awesome",
  },
])

randomTable.getHTMLElement(); // returns the table HTMLElement
