Initialization
First, we are going to run the command that will generate the plugin template we will be working on
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'.
- 1.From the HollaEx root directory, in your terminal, access the plugins folder with:
cd plugins. - 2.From the plugins folder, In order to initialize our hello-exchange plugin, run the following command:
npm run add:plugin --plugin=hello-plugin --type=page
This command will create a hello-plugin folder in our plugins directory (
plugins/srs/plugins/hello-plugin), and will display a success message in the terminal (see below).
Accessing the plugins folder, and initializing the hello-exchange plugin
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.
