devToolsEval

Wrapper around the DevTools eval function that throws proper errors.

The native chrome.devtools.inspectedWindow.eval reports errors via a callback argument rather than rejecting the promise. This utility normalizes that behavior by throwing an Error when the DevTools API returns an error object.

import devToolsEval from 'webext-tools/dev-tools-eval.js';

const result = await devToolsEval('document.title');
