Google Home Module

It didn’t take me long, and I knew I wouldn’t be able to go for a few hours without writing a basic plugin for Google Home.

I always wanted to have a del.icio.us search box in a panel with my latest bookmarks, so I wrote this:

Once you’ve added it to your homepage, you can enter your delicious username, and it displays your latest links using raw JSON:

_IG_FetchContent('http://del.icio.us/feeds/json/' + prefs.getString('username') + '?raw', function (responseText) {
  posts = eval('(' + responseText + ')')
  for (var i=0, post; post = posts[i]; i++) {
     // ... display code here ...
  }
}

All I’m doing is calling IGFetchContent(), which the API documents, and then building an unordered list of my links.

A search box is displayed by just using a HTML form.

The reason I did this is that I want to extend it in the future so I can do a live search of delicious from Google Home without leaving the page. I assume this will be quite complex, although I’m hoping I can recycle scriptaculous for the most part.

Now I’ve whet my appetite, however, I’m sure I’ll be able to integrate all manner of applications into Google Home.
