Chrome extension to help with Einstein Analytics v2
EADashboardHelper Extension
It enables a page action when editing JSON on an Einstein Analytics dashboard, and when activated, will show a menu of available steps to modify, which will bring up a code editor. It will only show custom SAQL queries and is ideal when modifying SAQL with bindings, since the standard editor won't allow direct editing.
Note: this is WIP, and feedback is always appreciated.
