Introduction

This is API for OrgNote extensions.

Warning This API is not stable yet, so it can be changed in the future.

You can find all available methods here. They are currently undocumented.

Extension structure

Folder structure

Compiled extension should be placed in the index.js file or /dist/index.js file in the public GIT repository

Extension entrypoint

Each extension should export an object by default with the following structure:

interface Extension {
  [key: string]: unknown;

  onMounted: (api: OrgNoteApi) => Promise<void>;
  onUnmounted?: (api: OrgNoteApi) => Promise<void>;
}

You can find available methods of OrgNoteApi here

Extension manifest

Also, each extension should export manifest const:

interface ExtensionManifest {
  /* Should be unique in the extension repo */
  name: string;
  version: string;
  category: 'theme' | 'extension' | 'language pack' | 'other';
  /* OrgNote api semver, 0.13.4 for example */
  apiVersion?: string;
  author?: string;
  description?: string;
  keywords?: string[];
  // Repository url
  sourceType: 'git' | 'file' | 'builtin';
  /* Default value is README.org */
  readmeFilePath?: string;
  /* WIP */
  permissions?: Array<'files' | 'personal info' | '*' | 'third party'>;
  reloadRequired?: boolean;
  sourceUrl?: string;
  sponsor?: string[];
  development?: boolean;
  icon?: string;
}

Extension API

Publish to official repository

OrgNote has an official repository for user-based extensions. You can easily add new recipes/<package>.json with ExtensionManifest

• Atom One Dark theme (pure js)

UI

• Colorful Headlines (typescript + API package)
