Which instrumentation js library for gmail extensions
There are many addons flying around around gmail (gmass, boomerang etc ..). There will be plenty more with the growing usage of this client. The main question for gmail addon designers is about selecting the appropriate instrumentation method. I fell in the trap a few years ago trying to mess around with the gmail page. I arrogantly threw myself in reverse engineering the gmail page (one of the most complex SPA ever written). Don't do this ... unless you love sudokus and absolutely don't care about project deadlines. I am aware of two instrumentation libraries in the field which greatly ease the job at inserting buttons at the desired standard locations and setting event handlers for getting into the gmail event flow: gmail.js ( https://github.com/KartikTalwar/gmail.js ) inboxSDK ( https://www.inboxsdk.com/ ) I'd recommend inboxSDK since it is a maintained and well documented library.
