Is there a local directory for nodebb plugins

Luke Kander

I know plugins are stored in node_modules, but I want to have local plugins that are not linked to npm or whatever like local_modules this is mainly to test my plugins before I put the on my server and to have them seperated from the npm because when I do npm update it clears out my changes. I just want to check if there is already an existing feature if not I will just have to edit the plugin loader every update I guess

Do git init in your plugin's directory. It will create an empty .git directory. When NPM sees that directory, it will stop touching your package.

Oh npm does that? Cool, but a local plugins folder would be nice

Oh I just realized, I can make a plugin that loads plugins from another directory
