Using the Plugin Dev Environment
The HollaEx Kit provides a way for developers to easily develop and run plugin scripts. This can be done using the
dev.js file in the plugins directory.1

The object
this.configValues should hold the public_meta and meta configuration values that would normally be in your plugin's config file. We are creating this.configValues in memory here to replicate the expected plugin config values.Plugin Script

In the
pluginScript function, you can put the actual script that will run for the plugin. This function will have access to all the libraries and default objects (pluginLibraries, configValues, etc) that would be available in a production plugin. Add your plugin's script here to run it in your local environment.Running the plugin
To run the plugin, you can simply go into the server docker container and run
node plugins/dev.js. This will execute the file and run the script you have in the pluginScript function. The file will be accessible via the 10012 port e.g. localhost:10012/plugins/....To test this out, undo the commented code for
this.configValues and pluginScript and then run the dev.js file. Last modified 5mo ago
