Project Stockman-Fly

A simple Google Chrome extension that adds the GDG Boomerang logo to the omnibox next to the bookmark star when a user navigates to a page where we have hidden a Google Domain Easter Egg for a beta invitation!

To manually install the Google Chrome extension:

• Download and Unzip the contents to a new folder
• Open Chrome, in a new tab type: chrome://extensions
• Check the Developer mode checkbox
• Click the Load unpacked extension... button
• Navigate to the new folder you created & select it (the folder only)
• Click "Open"/"Ok"

This makes use of the following Chrome Extension APIs:

• chrome.declarativeContent
• chrome.pageAction
• chrome.tabs
• chrome.runtime

The power of the RegEx:

Using the chrome.declarativeContent API, we were able to easily hide the GDG Boomerang on multiple sites conected to GDG Kansas City. The property used was urlMatches which follows the RE2 syntax.

Project name origin:

Also in keeping with our TMNT project themes, here is where we got the Stockman-Fly project name.
