bookmarks.removeTree()
The bookmarks.removeTree()
method recursively removes a bookmark folder and all of its contents.
Warning: If your extension attempts to remove a bookmark tree from the bookmarks tree root node, the call will raise an error with the message: "The bookmark root cannot be modified" and the bookmark won't be removed.
This is an asynchronous function that returns a Promise
.
Syntax
let removingTree = browser.bookmarks.removeTree(
id // string
)
Parameters
Return value
A Promise
that will be fulfilled with no arguments when the tree has been removed.
If the node corresponding to the id
parameter can't be found, the promise is rejected with an error message.
Examples
This example locates a bookmark folder named "MDN" and deletes it along with all of its contents.
function onRemoved() {
console.log("bookmark item removed!");
}
function onRejected(error) {
console.log(`An error: ${error}`);
}
function removeMDN(searchResults) {
if (searchResults.length) {
let removing = browser.bookmarks.removeTree(searchResults[0].id);
removing.then(onRemoved, onRejected);
}
}
let searchingBookmarks = browser.bookmarks.search({ title: "MDN" });
searchingBookmarks.then(removeMDN, onRejected);
