So I can just run Javascript? Isn't that just XSS?

The code will be executed inside a very limited environment to avoid security issues. This means plugins will not have access to anything in the website itself, only the pieces we decide to expose to it.

How can I add X to the plugin configuration?

Check out the Manifest page, it should contain information regarding how to add specific types of fields to your configuration.

Can I make custom forms or HTML elements?

Not as of August '23, but we have those two in our roadmap, stay tuned! Check out the Limitations page for more details.

How do I publish a plugin?

Currently there is no way to publish a plugin, but will be as soon as we get out of Alpha.

Keep in mind that during development, most Limitations are off, so you can use any Javascript and browser API you want, but they might not work on a published version of the plugin.

What languages can I develop plugins with?

Plugins are ran using Javascript, so anything that compiles to Javascript should work, like Typescript.

How do I make an itemRef field that accepts any type of item?

Use this as the accept value on the itemRef field

{
"accept": ["rich-content", "widget-video", "widget-audio", "chart", "area", "group", "image", "svg", "text"]
}

Keep in mind that there are only a few properties that are common to every item type.
