This is a prototype Chrome extension developed for CS 316 (Database Systems) taught at Duke University in Fall 2015
The extension uses information from a Wikipedia article to produce a list of relevant GitHub Gists (known as blocks) in the form of Mike Bostock's many code examples.
In addition, the extension adds blocks viewed on bl.ocks.org to a database of gists based on information contained in the description, README.md, and meta tags in index.html.
Check out wikiblocks-search for more information about the server side of the code.
To install the extension, download the extension.crx file and drag it into an open chrome://extensions window (navigate in the Chrome menu to Settings -> Extensions).
Navigate to a Wikipedia page and click on the page action icon.
Visit blocks on bl.ocks.org to record new blocks!
