Addon dev help: get length of each group

[vredesbyyrd]

Hi,

I am working on a simple addon that interfaces with STG. Does anyone know if it is possible to request from STG the length of each tab group, eg...

group1: #loaded / #total 
group2: #loaded / #total 

Essentially the same info that is displayed in the popover for each group. From flipping through the source I believe the relevant function I want to replicate is groupTabsCountMessage.

The action {"action":"get-groups-list"} returns an array of objects for each group:

{
  "id": 7,
  "title": "group1",
  "isArchive": false,
  "isSticky": false,
  "iconUrl": "data:image/svg+xml,",
  "contextualIdentity": null,
  "windowId": 1
} 
...

Is it possible to retrieve any tab information from get-groups-list?

I have read through the firefox addon doc and I cannot envision how to get per-group data via tabs.query() as it has no concept of "groups", if I am understanding correctly. This is my first time using js/html, complete noob. I am using this mini-project to get familiar with it. If you read this far and have any ideas/hints it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your time, and for the great addon!

You won't have direct access to the tabs and their data, because this contradicts the "permissions" field in manifest.json. Ideally, I could check the correct permissions for the addon that made the request, but I don't see the point in that yet. The number of tabs is just a small option.
