Chrome Extension to autofill common questions on application forms

Primary LanguageTypeScript

Chrome extension to help you fill out some of the tedious parts of the application process.

I got tired of filling out the same information for every application, so I made a Chrome extension to help with the process.

Right now it works for:

  1. Gender
  2. Hispanic - which is a yes or no
  3. Race - which is only asked if you're not Hispanic.
  4. Veteran Status

Currently this has been tested to work on:

  1. Greenhouse - in some cases this does not work, as they seem to occassionally use hidden selects and change what is displayed in the input via javascript, although it might actually work for the form submission itself, as it is changing the underlying select's value. I have not tested this myself.

This is currently a w.i.p as I plan on having most of the major fields auto fill in - first name, last name, LinkedIn, etc. I also need to improve the styling as well as only have it perform when you click fill form - as I don't want it to autofill on non job application forms.

I plan on adding:

  1. First Name
  2. Last Name
  3. Full Name (just a combination of the first two)
  4. Email
  5. Phone/mobile
  6. Website
  7. LinkedIn
  8. Github (if all three of those are the same, it will preference your website)
  9. Authorized to work in country (will just assume US)
  10. Sponsor a work permit

It needs to check for an iframe and prematurely end and send the user an alert if it finds one. The extension cannot access anything within an iframe, outside of possibly through postMessage(), due to XSS concerns, so it's out of luck there.
