This repository includes a QA testing sample plugin.
This plugin can be tested using the following url to install it in penpot: https://penpotqa-plugins.pages.dev/manifest.json
Clone the repository to start working with it:
git clone <your-repository-url>
After cloning the repository, navigate into the project directory and install the necessary dependencies by running:
cd penpotqa-plugins
npm install
This command installs all the required packages listed in the package.json
file.
Next, if you need it, edit the plugin's configuration file:
- Open the
manifest.json
file located in the/public
folder. - Make any necessary changes to the configuration. Note that any modifications to this file require you to restart the development server for changes to take effect.
To start the development server, run the following command in your terminal:
npm run dev
Once the server is running, open your web browser and go to http://localhost:4400
to view your plugin in action. Now it is ready to be loaded in Penpot with the url http://localhost:4400/manifest.json
.
The template includes two Penpot libraries to assist in your development:
@penpot/plugin-styles
: This library provides utility functions and resources to help you style your components consistently with Penpot's design system.@penpot/plugin-types
: This library includes types and API descriptions for interacting with the Penpot plugin API, facilitating the development of plugins that can communicate effectively with the Penpot app.
When you're ready to build your plugin for production, run the following command:
npm run build
This command compiles your TypeScript code and assets into JavaScript, creating a dist
folder that contains all the files necessary to deploy your plugin.
