Copyright 2015, Brooks Mershon

This is a prototype Chrome extension developed for CS 316 (Database Systems) taught at Duke University in Fall 2015

The extension uses information from a Wikipedia article to produce a list of relevant GitHub Gists (known as blocks) in the form of Mike Bostock's many code examples.

In addition, the extension adds blocks viewed on bl.ocks.org to a database of gists based on information contained in the description, README.md, and meta tags in index.html.

Check out wikiblocks-search for more information about the server side of the code.

Quickstart

To install the extension, download the extension.crx file and drag it into an open chrome://extensions window (navigate in the Chrome menu to Settings -> Extensions).

Navigate to a Wikipedia page and click on the page action icon.
