React Summit

React Summit 2023

This Talk is about building a Chrome extension using React. It covers the setup, permissions, and behaviors of the extension, as well as calling external services and running the extension locally. The Talk also discusses the process of publishing the extension and includes a demo of an email management system. Overall, it provides a comprehensive overview of building and deploying a Chrome extension using React.

<p>Last year, as part of my work at Bloomberg, I was tasked with building a Chrome Extension, and persuaded my team to let me build the extension in React instead of vanilla JavaScript. This had several advantages, such as making the code more maintainable and easier to understand, as well as enabling us to use a pre-existing component library for consistent styling across the company, reducing the amount of CSS code we had to write. In my presentation, I will show you a sample Chrome Extension for personal use that I built using React and Material UI that auto-responds to emails sent in Gmail and allows you to take notes regarding the conversation. I will also share steps to build your own Chrome Extension using React, and lessons learned along the way!</p>
