Joplin Plugin
This is a template to create a new Joplin plugin.
The main two files you will want to look at are:
/src/index.ts
, which contains the entry point for the plugin source code./src/manifest.json
, which is the plugin manifest. It contains information such as the plugin a name, version, etc.
Building the plugin
The plugin is built using Webpack, which creates the compiled code in /dist
. A JPL archive will also be created at the root, which can use to distribute the plugin.
To build the plugin, simply run npm run dist
.
The project is setup to use TypeScript, although you can change the configuration to use plain JavaScript.
Updating the plugin framework
To update the plugin framework, run yo joplin --update
Keep in mind that doing so will overwrite all the framework-related files outside of the "src/" directory (your source code will not be touched). So if you have modified any of the framework-related files, such as package.json or .gitignore, make sure your code is under version control so that you can check the diff and re-apply your changes.
For that reason, it's generally best not to change any of the framework files or to do so in a way that minimises the number of changes. For example, if you want to modify the Webpack config, create a new separate JavaScript file and include it in webpack.config.js. That way, when you update, you only have to restore the line that include your file.
