Project Realization: Aenzbi Invoice Chrome Extension

Overview

The Aenzbi Invoice Chrome Extension facilitates the submission of invoices to EBMS Burundi directly from a Chrome browser. It enhances convenience for users by providing a streamlined interface to fill out and submit invoice details.

Key Features

• Popup Form: Utilizes HTML/CSS/JavaScript to create a user-friendly interface for entering invoice details.
• Backend Communication: Uses fetch API to send invoice data securely to EBMS Burundi's API endpoint.
• Authorization: Implements OAuth2 token handling for secure authentication with EBMS Burundi.
• Error Handling: Provides alerts for successful or failed invoice submissions to keep users informed.

Technologies Used

• HTML, CSS: Structured and styled the popup form and UI elements.
• JavaScript: Implemented client-side logic for form validation and API communication.
• Chrome Extension APIs: Utilized Chrome extension APIs for popup creation (chrome.action) and background processes (chrome.runtime).
• OAuth2: Handled OAuth2 authentication and token management for API authorization.
• Fetch API: Sent POST requests to EBMS Burundi's API for invoice submission.

Implementation Steps

1. Project Setup: Created the directory structure and essential files (manifest.json, popup.html, popup.js).

2. Form Design: Designed and implemented the invoice form in popup.html using HTML and CSS for styling.

3. Client-Side Logic: Developed popup.js to handle form submission, data validation, and API communication using JavaScript.

4. API Integration: Configured fetch requests in popup.js to send invoice data securely to EBMS Burundi's API endpoint (https://ebms.obr.gov.bi:9443/ebms_api/addInvoice).

5. OAuth2 Authentication: Implemented OAuth2 token handling in popup.js to authorize API requests securely.

6. Testing and Validation: Conducted thorough testing to ensure the extension functions correctly across different scenarios, handling errors appropriately.

Challenges and Decisions

• Security: Ensured secure handling of sensitive data such as OAuth2 tokens and invoice details.
• User Experience: Optimized UI/UX to provide a seamless experience for users while filling out and submitting invoices.
• Compatibility: Ensured compatibility with various versions of Chrome and adherence to Chrome's extension development guidelines.

Future Enhancements

• Localization: Add support for multiple languages to cater to international users.
• Advanced Features: Integrate additional features like invoice history, PDF generation, or real-time synchronization with EBMS Burundi.

Conclusion

The realization of the Aenzbi Invoice Chrome Extension involved leveraging modern web technologies and Chrome extension APIs to create a robust tool for efficient invoice management. By focusing on usability, security, and functionality, the extension enhances productivity and convenience for users engaged in business transactions with EBMS Burundi.

This structured description outlines how the project was conceptualized, implemented, and optimized to meet the needs of users requiring streamlined invoice submission directly from their Chrome browser.
