In order to follow this guide, you must use Webiny version 5.20.0 or greater.
Introduction
Community plugins are 3rd party supported plugins for Webiny. These plugins are created and managed by the Webiny community. Here is the repository for community managed plugins.
Contribute a New Plugin
1. Clone the Plugins Repository
All the community-supported 3rd party plugins are maintained at the plugins repository.
Clone the plugins repository in the Webiny project root.
git clone https://github.com/webiny-contrib/plugins
2. Create a React Component Package
We will use the React Component Package scaffold to create the plugin. From your project root, simply run the yarn webiny scaffold
command:
Then, from the list of all available scaffolds, select React Component Package and follow the on-screen instructions.
Enter the name of the component (in pascal-case)
e.g.IFrame
Enter the package location (packages/iframe)
Based on your plugin type, i.e. whether you are building a plugin for Page Builder or Headless CMS, select the respective directory, e.g. if you are creating an iframe plugin for Page Builder, the location will look something like thisplugins/pageBuilder/iframe
Enter the package name (@custom-components/iframe)
Please follow this pattern for package name@webiny-contrib/name-of-your-plugin
e.g.@webiny-contrib/iframe
3. Plugin Implementation
To implement your plugin, based on the plugin you want to create, please refer to the following tutorials:
Please place your code under the src
directory e.g. plugins/pageBuilder/iframe/src
.
4. Raise the Pull Request
Once the plugin is ready, please create a pull request to https://github.com/webiny-contrib/plugins repository.
Webiny team will take care of publishing the community plugins to npm
at @webiny-contrib.
