(You can find this directory by going to _Developer \u003e Show Mailsync Logs_ in Mailspring).\n\nYou can rename this directory and change the `name` field of `package.json` to rename your plugin. Keep in mind that plugins are like node modules and the names cannot contain spaces!\n\nTo get started, run `npm install` in your plugin's directory and then `npm run-script build` to compile the `src` folder into the `lib` folder. To see your changes in Mailspring, quit and relaunch the app OR open the developer tools and reload the app's main window.\n\nFor documentation of how to build plugins, check out [https://foundry376.github.io/Mailspring/](https://foundry376.github.io/Mailspring/) for (slightly outdated) information and also have a look at the many plugins that ship within the core app: [https://github.com/Foundry376/Mailspring/tree/master/app/internal_packages](https://github.com/Foundry376/Mailspring/tree/master/app/internal_packages). Some of the bundled plugins, like `composer-translate`, `composer-templates`, and `phishing-detection` are great starting points!\n\n## Shipping a Plugin\n\nMailspring does not transpile the source code in your plugin when it runs - it expects that your JSX files, TypeScript, etc. has already been converted to plain ES2017 JavaScript. To give your plugin to other people, you should commit the `lib` directory so that they can download the repository, put it in place via the \"Install a Plugin...\" menu item in Mailspring, and be done.\n\n## Future\n\nIn the next year or so, we'll be launching a first-class \"plugin gallery\" in Mailspring and formalizing the development and release processes. Right now, building a plugin using TypeScript is a real pain because Mailspring - while written in TypeScript - doesn't export the types for you to build against. Stay tuned!\n\n## A note about Node Modules\n\nRight now, if your plugin depends on external node modules (say, a CSV parser like `node-csv`), you'd need to package up a zip file that contained those modules already installed in `node_modules`, or have your users run `npm install`. In the future, Mailspring will run npm install for you.\n\nHowever, we do not plan to support Mailspring plugins that require _native_ node modules - the kind that compile C++ or C code into platform-specific binaries. It's really hard to ship all of the tooling required to build these reliably, pre-packing them for each platform is annoying, and they often break when the node / nan versions change. Be warned! (An example of this would be `sqlite` or something like `node-addressbook`. You can often tell if a module contains native code if there is a `binding.gyp` file or if the install process takes a while and calls out to `make` or `gcc`.)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fandybrice%2Fconversational","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fandybrice%2Fconversational","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fandybrice%2Fconversational/lists"}
