To see how we do that, you can refer to the [inpage script](https://github.com/MetaMask/metamask-extension/blob/master/app/scripts/inpage.js) that we inject into every website. There you can see it creates a multiplex stream to the background, and uses it to initialize what we call the [MetamaskInpageProvider](https://github.com/MetaMask/metamask-inpage-provider/blob/master/index.js), which you can see stubs a few methods out, but mostly just passes calls to `sendAsync` through the stream it's passed! That's really all the magic that's needed to create a web3-like API in a remote context, once you have a stream to MetaMask available.
In `inpage.js` you can see we create a `PortStream`, that's just a class we use to wrap WebExtension ports as streams, so we can reuse our favorite stream abstraction over the more irregular API surface of the WebExtension. In a new platform, you will probably need to construct this stream differently. The key is that you need to construct a stream that talks from the site context to the background. Once you have that set up, it works like magic!

If streams seem new and confusing to you, that's ok, they can seem strange at first. To help learn them, we highly recommend reading Substack's [Stream Handbook](https://github.com/substack/stream-handbook), or going through NodeSchool's interactive command-line class [Stream Adventure](https://github.com/workshopper/stream-adventure), also maintained by Substack.
