Gets information about all contextual identities, or about those contextual identities that match a given filter argument.

This is an asynchronous function that returns a Promise.

  details                  // object
)

Parameters

Examples

Retrieve all contextual identities, and log their names:

js
function onGot(contexts) {
  for (const context of contexts) {
    console.log(`Name: ${context.name}`);
  }
}

function onError(error) {
  console.error(error);
}

browser.contextualIdentities.query({}).then(onGot, onError);

Retrieve all contextual identities whose names are "my-thing", and log their names:

js
function onGot(contexts) {
  for (const context of contexts) {
    console.log(`Name: ${context.name}`);
  }
}

  })
  .then(onGot, onError);
