SOLVED Building settings page

[ferik]

I have a fairly complex setting page (OAuth link for token, dynamically setting a select box, test button, etc) that I'd like to build.

I haven't seen much references to the front-end framework used in NodeBB (it is a custom framework, right? Not AngularJS, Backbone or anything like that). Is there a good tutorial that focuses on the settings page for a plugin or a thorough documentation for building custom pages somewhere?

Thank you in advance,

Erik

Best bet would be to check out how it is done here: https://github.com/NodeBB/nodebb-plugin-quickstart

All right, so I'll ask specific questions. I already have my plugin running, with a menu item and a menu page.

I'll first need to:

• Add a test button that will make an ajax call to a server side endpoint (so I'll need to build a server side endpoint) - this is to test connection to a third party, based on an API key
• I'll need to make a call to a second end point to get a list of items and display it in a <select>

Any tips on how to get started with that?

• Plugin exposing its own server-side routes
• ACP page javascript, can make your ajax call here
