Guideline for custom plugin setting page creation

Irfan Babar

Hi, I have created a custom private plugin for nodebb platform for a client. It is like the session-sharing plugin, handling sso with jwt but with a custom implementation. I need to create a setting page inside ACP for my plugin as session-sharing has. so I can put some dynamic values for cookies i.e; domains, token names, etc.

Is there any doc for creating a setting page or something similar? I cannot find anything useful in nodebb docs relevant to it.

thanks

https://github.com/NodeBB/nodebb-plugin-quickstart creates and admin page with some settings, you can use that as a guide.

So I need to look into codebase? I thought we may have some kind of docs. Nevermind, I m already following same approach

If we had documents for this specific task... it would literally be:

I want to do X, what does plugin-quickstart do?
Now I want to do Y, what does plugin-quickstart do?

I joke, but this is literally how I do it, for every plugin I make.

Of course, I happen to know all of it already, so I know where to look. I can write something up for the future.

@julian I know you guys must be busy. I m on tight deadlines that's why I was looking for some docs, which at least give us some guidance, and some basic key points to start creating a plugin.

Btw I used your session-sharing plugin to understand most of the key points
