• Only cares about application logic

import * as Channeru from 'channeru'

// setup channel in different page environment, once
const channel = Channeru.create()

// in background script
const fakeLogin = async () => true

channel.answer('isLogin', async () => {
  return await fakeLogin()
})

// in inject script
const isLogin = await channel.callBackground('isLogin')
console.log(isLogin) //-> true
