injected

Injected Code Bundling

This directory contains TypeScript code that gets injected into Instagram's web page via cordova-plugin-inappbrowser's insertScript() method.

Execution Context

Unlike main.ts which runs in the Capacitor WebView, code in this directory runs inside Instagram's DOM with access to:

• Instagram's page DOM
• Instagram's localStorage
• No access to Cordova/Capacitor APIs

Bundling Strategy

Both main.ts and injected/addmenu.ts are bundled separately to create two isolated bundles:

# Two separate build outputs
bun build src/main.ts --outdir www/js
bun build src/injected/addmenu.ts --outdir www/js/injected

Why Separate Bundles?

1. Different execution contexts - Main runs in Capacitor, injected runs in Instagram
2. No shared dependencies - Each bundle is completely self-contained
3. Different capabilities - Injected code can't access Cordova APIs, main code can't access Instagram's DOM

How It Works

1. Build time: addmenu.ts is bundled with all its npm dependencies
2. Runtime data loading: app/main.ts loads HTML templates and CSS rules
3. Data injection: app/main.ts injects data as window.__JUSTAGRAM_DATA__ global variable
4. Script injection: app/main.ts injects the bundled addmenu.js which reads from the global
5. Execution: Script initializes the menu using the provided data

Data Flow

// In app/main.ts (Capacitor context)
const data = {
  menuButtonHTML: '...',
  menuHTML: '...',
  cssRules: { hideReels: '...', ... }
};
browser.insertScript({ code: `window.__JUSTAGRAM_DATA__ = ${JSON.stringify(data)}` });
browser.insertScript({ code: addMenuJS });

// In injected/addmenu.ts (Instagram context)
const data = window.__JUSTAGRAM_DATA__;
const cssRules = data.cssRules;
const menuButtonHTML = data.menuButtonHTML;
// ... use the data

Adding External Libraries

You can import npm packages in addmenu.ts and they'll be bundled automatically:

import { debounce } from 'lodash-es';

const handleToggle = debounce(() => {
  // Your code
}, 300);

The bundled output will include lodash code inline, making it work inside Instagram's CSP-restricted environment.

Debugging

To debug injected code:

• Android: Use chrome://inspect while app is running
• iOS: Use Safari Developer Tools

The injected bundle includes source maps for easier debugging.
