Introduction

For better or worse, Glassdoor can be a source of useful information about the work environment at a particular company.

Often times, it's helpful to have Glassdoor information at your fingertips when searching for jobs.

This Chrome extension currently integrates with LinkedIn such that one can lookup a company's high-level Glassdoor information simply by highlighting the company's name, right-clicking the selected text, and selecting the See Glassdoor Data option in the subsequent menu.

Development

This project uses nvm to maintain a consistent node version.

The typical development flow will look something like

• nvm install - ensure the correct node version is being used
• npm install - ensure all dependencies are up-to-date
• npm run start:dev - start the local Webpack development server that will be watching file changes and updating the output directory (build)
  • This project uses webpack-chrome-extension-reloader which should automatically reload Chrome with the latest extension changes
• Go to chrome://extensions and load the unpacked extension from the output directory (build)
• Go to LinkedIn and test behavior / any changes that have been made
