NodeBB Plugin best practices

Plugin Development
  • I'm thinking it would be good if we establish some best practices for NodeBB plugin development.

    Feel free to contribute by replying and I'll add it to the list.

    • Database keys should start with plugin:[your-plugin-name]: ex: if the plugin is nodebb-plugin-mentions then the database keys would start with plugin:mentions:
    • Use sockets instead of ajax
    • Use CSS transitions instead of jQuery animations, trigger them by toggling classes on the elements
    • Use Bootstrap elements as much as possible or not at all
