bookmarks.move()

The bookmarks.move() method moves the specified BookmarkTreeNode to the specified destination within the tree of bookmarks. This lets you move a bookmark to a new folder and/or position within the folder.

This is an asynchronous function that returns a Promise.

Syntax

var movingBookmark = browser.bookmarks.move(
  id,                    // string
  destination           // object
)

Parameters

id

A string containing the ID of the bookmark or folder to move.

destination

An object which specifies the destination for the bookmark. This object must contain one or both of the following fields:

parentId Optional

A string which specifies the ID of the destination folder. If this value is left out, the bookmark is moved to a new location within its current folder.

index Optional

A 0-based index specifying the position within the folder to which to move the bookmark. A value of 0 moves the bookmark to the top of the folder. If this value is omitted, the bookmark is placed at the end of the new parent folder.

Return value

A Promise that will be fulfilled with a single bookmarks.BookmarkTreeNode object, describing the moved node.

If the node corresponding to the id parameter can't be found, the promise is rejected with an error message.

Examples

This example moves a bookmark so that it's the first bookmark in its current folder.

function onMoved(bookmarkItem) {
  console.log(bookmarkItem.index);
}

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

var bookmarkId = "abcdefghilkl";

var movingBookmark = browser.bookmarks.move(bookmarkId, {index: 0});
movingBookmark.then(onMoved, onRejected);
