- Main.js: The main JavaScript file that contains the plugin's logic.
- styles.css: The CSS file that defines the plugin's visual appearance.
- README.md: A brief description of the plugin and its features.
Developing Your Plugin
- Create a new directory for your plugin in the
plugins
folder of the projectADocumentation installation. - Initialize your plugin by creating the
Main.js
,styles.css
, andREADME.md
files. - Implement the plugin's functionality in the
Main.js
file. - Style your plugin using the
styles.css
file. - Document your plugin in the
README.md
file.
Example: Plugin for Embedding Videos
Here's a simple example of a plugin that embeds videos from a given URL.
// Main.js
const videoPlugin = (videoUrl) => {
const videoContainer = document.createElement('div');
videoContainer.innerHTML = `<iframe src="${videoUrl}" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>`;
document.body.appendChild(videoContainer);
};
export default videoPlugin;
/* styles.css */
iframe {
