Pointless Rants

This is really quite lame but it’s early in the morning and I have completed my goal!

I made a Ubiquity command that searches newegg for me! Yes! That is correct! *streamers, confetti and hats*

The documentation that I used can be found here https://wiki.mozilla.org/Labs/Ubiquity/Ubiquity_0.1_Author_Tutorial.

BONUS!: My javascript skills are a little sharper, as you can see by the complexity of the command, my skills were pretty dull to begin with

Here’s the code incase you’re too lazy to view it the easy way

CmdUtils.CreateCommand({
  name: "newegg",
  author: { name: "Thomas Schultz", email: "daspecster@gmail.com"},
  license: "GPL",
  description: "Search Newegg.com",
  help: "type newegg-search into the command line and then the phrase you want to search",
  takes: {"input": noun_arb_text},

  preview: function( pblock, input ) {
    var template = "Search Newegg for <em>${query}</em>";
    pblock.innerHTML = CmdUtils.renderTemplate(template, {"query": input.text});
  },

  execute: function(input) {
    var searchString = escape(input.text);

    var url = "http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&Description=" + searchString;
    displayMessage(url);
    Utils.openUrlInBrowser(url);
  }

});
