This is an asynchronous function that returns a Promise.

Syntax

let gettingRecent = browser.bookmarks.getRecent(
  numberOfItems          // integer
)

Parameters

Examples

This example logs the URL for the most recently added bookmark:

js
function onFulfilled(bookmarks) {
  for (const bookmark of bookmarks) {
    console.log(bookmark.url);
  }
}

function onRejected(error) {
  console.log(`An error: ${error}`);
}

browser.bookmarks.getRecent(1).then(onFulfilled, onRejected);
