Hi, I'm developing a pluging for Katex autocompletion.
I there some documentation about the "plugin.config.json" file ?
Where can I find an example of a simple CodeMirror plugin written in typescript ? I can correctly load the plugin in javascript, but I can't make the plugin load when I convert it in typescript (the codemirror part).
In general all this is done automatically by the plugin generator, which will set the name and keywords of package.json, and will put the right files in the "publish" directory. But if something doesn't work and your plugin doesn't appear in the repository, double-check the above conditions.
## Updating the plugin framework
To update the plugin framework, run `npm run update`.
In general this command tries to do the right thing - in particular it's going to merge the changes in package.json and .gitignore instead of overwriting. It will also leave "/src" as well as README.md untouched.
The file that may cause problem is "webpack.config.js" because it's going to be overwritten. For that reason, if you want to change it, consider creating a 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.
## External script files
By default, the compiler (webpack) is going to compile `src/index.ts` only (as well as any file it imports), and any other file will simply be copied to the plugin package. In some cases this is sufficient, however if you have [content scripts](https://joplinapp.org/api/references/plugin_api/classes/joplincontentscripts.html) or [webview scripts](https://joplinapp.org/api/references/plugin_api/classes/joplinviewspanels.html#addscript) you might want to compile them too, in particular in these two cases:
- The script is a TypeScript file - in which case it has to be compiled to JavaScript.
- The script requires modules you've added to package.json. In that case, the script, whether JS or TS, must be compiled so that the dependencies are bundled with the JPL file.
To get such an external script file to compile, you need to add it to the `extraScripts` array in `plugin.config.json`. The path you add should be relative to /src. For example, if you have a file in "/src/webviews/index.ts", the path should be set to "webviews/index.ts". Once compiled, the file will always be named with a .js extension. So you will get "webviews/index.js" in the plugin package, and that's the path you should use to reference the file.
## License
I believe this documentation file is placed inside every project that is created with generator-joplin. Hopefully it solves things for you.
Thanks ! That is what I was looking for about "plugin.config.json"
