How to use proxy in your extension?

Question

JavaScript

As far as I know, the extension APIs allow you to locally apply one or another proxy in the browser. Perhaps I'm asking a lot, but could someone give an example of how this is done? Sample code for changing browser proxy.

Interested exclusively in the Google Chrome browser. If you suddenly think that I’m a little swollen with such requests, then you can send me away, read the documentation, I’ll understand and I won’t be offended) Just give me a link, otherwise all my Google attempts give out ready-made extensions, and not instructions, as in extension to change the proxy.

Yes, actually there are enough examples in the documentation :
An example of installing a Socks5 proxy for all sites except foobar.com

var config = {
        mode: "fixed_servers",
        rules: {
          proxyForHttp: {
            scheme: "socks5",
            host: "1.2.3.4"
          },
          bypassList: ["foobar.com"]
        }
      };
      chrome.proxy.settings.set(
          {value: config, scope: 'regular'},
          function() {});

Here is the office. extension example .
