I’m pretty excited to announce that if all goes well, one of the new features for v5.1.22 will be the ability to dynamically load/unload plugins without needing to refresh the page.
The catch is that this only works for plugins that do not contain any JavaScript modules. For plugins that do contain JS modules, the behaviour is the same as at present, with a warning message advising the user to reload the page. The reason for this restriction is to avoid corruption due to attempting to swap a module that is already running. Nonetheless, there’s a huge and useful set of plugins that do not contain JS modules, including all themes and languages. It’s a work in progress, and not yet merged into the prerelease: https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/pull/4259 Just to be clear, this means that with the proviso above, users will be able to: * Add new plugins from the plugin library without reloading * Add new plugins via drag and drop without reloading * Delete unneeded plugins without reloading * Eventually, to use tools like Tinka to package plugins without requiring a reload to test There’s still a fair bit to do: * Indicate in the plugin library which plugins will require a reload * More testing * Documentation Questions and comments welcome.
