Thanks for the response. It's definitely a messy API for a simple
usecase. here's the solution I went with:
function collectFoldersAsTags(bookmark, tags, callback) {
if (bookmark.parentId) {
chrome.bookmarks.get(bookmark.parentId, function(results) {
var mark = results[0];
tags.push(mark.title);
collectFoldersAsTags(mark, tags, callback);
});
} else {
callback(tags);
}
}
chrome.bookmarks.onCreated.addListener(function(id, bookmark) {
if (bookmark.url) {
collectFoldersAsTags(bookmark, [], function(tags) {
alert(tags.join(' '));
});
}
});
