*Nota bene:* I've seen that Jeremy has just published the example plugin
repository. I'm well aware of it, it's fine ... yet I want to work in a
slightly different, more integrated plugin development cycle where I mainly
use "TW5 in da browsa" but without the existing pluginmaker.js
functionality. The rationale is that I want to develop and publish small,
self-contained plugins where each plugin gets its own repository and where
all plugin files are always under source control in the normal tiddler file
tree. In particular, I want to avoid having tiddler sources in both
*tiddlers/* as well as *plugins/*.
My idea now is to implement a new command "--makeplugin" that is the
Node.js variant of pluginmaker.js; yet with an important difference: it
doesn't delete the plugin non-shadow tiddlers as they get into the package
as shadows. For instance, to create a plugin I would use these commands:
--makeplugin "$:/plugins/TDO/example"
"[field:title/\$:\/plugins\/TDO\/example\//]"
--savetiddler "$:/plugins/TDO/example" "example.tid"
1. This would first start a headless TW5, read in the TiddlyWiki that
contains all the sources.
2. Next, it would pack the plugin on the basis of a filter expression
specified to the --makeplugin command.
- Something that isn't clear to me: as the makeplugin command would
change the plugin tiddler text, would the headless TW5 instance try to
sync
it back to disk? I would assume that it can't do this as long as I'm
making
sure I'm using a wiki edition without sync adaptor loaded. Correct?
3. Then I just save the plugin tiddler to file system so I can later
upload it and also copy it to a wiki edition for official deployment.
I would like to get feedback on this idea. Anything terribly wrong with it?
Best regards,
TheDiveO
