Initialization
First, we are going to run the command that will generate the plugin template we will be working on
Initialization is a fairly simple step but does have a few options possible when defining the type of the plugin. Head over to the Advanced/Initialization section to see all the page types.
First Step - Dev Mode
To begin with, you are going to need to enable Dev mode. This is a vital step as it will allow 'on-the-fly-editing', giving the ability to see code changes quickly, without having to rebuild the exchange every time.
Follow this page's steps, and once you have the ability to see the 'hello-exchange' plugins information displayed on your browser (up to and including the 'Checking Dev Mode is working' section) come back here and let's get into making the new (very similar), 'hello-plugin'.
Initializing 'hello-plugin'
From the HollaEx root directory, in your terminal, access the plugins folder with:
cd plugins
.From the plugins folder, In order to initialize our hello-exchange plugin, run the following command:
This command will create a hello-plugin folder in our plugins directory (plugins/src/plugins/hello-plugin
), and will display a success message in the terminal (see below).
Now the hello-plugin folder has been created for us (hollaex-kit/plugins/src/plugins/hello-plugin) with the command we just ran.
Inside this hello-plugin folder will be a few other directories and files that will assist us, and where we will be adding our own files.
