[nodebb-plugin-quickstart] Plugin starter kit

psychobunny

A starter kit for quickly creating NodeBB plugins. Comes with a pre-setup LESS file, server side JS script with an action:app.load hook, and a client-side script. Most plugins need at least one of the above, so this ought to save you some time. For a full list of hooks have a look at the documentation.

Fork this or copy it, and using your favourite text editor find and replace all instances of nodebb-plugin-quickstart with nodebb-plugin-your-plugins-name. Change the author's name in the LICENSE and package.json files.

Once you're done don't forget to publish it on NPM, and make a thread about it here.

Hello World

Really simple, just edit static/lib/main.js and paste in console.log('hello world');, and that's it!

Installation

npm install nodebb-plugin-quickstart

Screenshots

Don't forget to add screenshots!

Notice that client-side script added in plugin.json, and have not a scripts.get hook. I actived the plugin and found the client-side log "nodebb-plugin-quickstart: loaded" not print untill refreash the page.

Take back the post, it's ok, some wrong with my code.

@niro That's right... I encourage plugin writers to use the scripts property in plugin.json over the scripts.get hook if at all possible, as the script is then minified on production.
