Astra Autofill Chrome Extension

This Chrome extension helps you automatically fill out a frequently used form for requesting a room for your student organization. It uses stored information to fill in static and dynamically appearing questions on the form

Features

• Automatically fills in static questions
• Detects and fills dynamically loaded questions using a MutationObserver
• Stores user information in Chrome storage for reuse

How It Works

• Static Questions: The extension fills out the first 28 static questions on the form using stored information
• Dynamic Questions: The extension uses a MutationObserver to detect when new questions are added to the form and fills them out automatically

Installation and Setup

1. Clone or Download the Repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/form-autofill-extension.git
   

2. Load the Extension in Chrome:

• Open Chrome and go to chrome://extensions/
• Enable "Developer mode" by toggling the switch in the top right corner
• Click on "Load unpacked" and select the directory where you cloned/downloaded the repository.

3. Set Up Your Information

• Click on the extension icon in the Chrome toolbar
• Fill in your information (e.g., organization name, requestor's name, phone number, email, etc.)
• This information will be saved in Chrome storage and used to autofill the form

1. Open the Astra Room Request Form here
2. Open the Autofill Chrome Extension while on that page
3. Click the "Autofill" button to automatically fill the form

Expansion Goals

Should it be desired, this app has some room for improvement.

• If Chrome storage turns out to be unreliable, save user data in a database (e.g. Mongo/Firebase), retrieve the data when autofilling
• Add more questions to the pre-filling menu to allow users with consistent requirements to avoid hassle
• Anything else that the Great Lord of ACM, Farhan Jamil, so desires
