Extensibility features

Application extensibility is performed via the root /src/assets/app.extensions.json, and any number of external plugins that are references of the main entry point.

The application also comes with the /src/assets/plugins/ folder already preconfigured to store external files.

You can create plugins that change, toggle, or extend the following areas:

  • Navigation sidebar links and groups
  • Context Menu
  • Sidebar (aka Info Drawer)
  • Toolbar entries
    • buttons
    • menu buttons
    • separators
  • Viewer actions
    • "Open With" entries
    • toolbar entries
      • buttons
      • "More actions" buttons
  • Content metadata presets (used on Properties tab)

Extensions can also:

  • Overwrite or disable extension points of the main application or other plugins
  • Change rules, actions or any visual element
  • Register new application routes based on empty pages or layouts
  • Register new rule evaluators, components, guards
