This is a template plugin that demonstrates how to interact with MIDI Mixer's API in order to register buttons and groups, as well as provide a good user experience for your users.
This file is a PAGE.md
file specified in the plugin's folder, and is simply a rendered markdown file. This can include a huge variety of formatting and is great for letting your users know how to use the plugin you've developed.
For code examples of how to interact with MIDI Mixer, check out the src
directory in the plugin itself.
One of the crucial parts of developing a plugin (and something not documented directly in code) is the JSON definition of settings. Notarised using TypeScript, the settings
key in your package.json
file can be described like so:
interface PluginSetting {
/**
* The label for the field to be shown in the plugin's settings page.
*/
label: string;
/**
* If marked as `true`, this field will be marked as required in the user's
* UI.
*/
required?: boolean;
/**
* The input type for this setting.
*/
type: "text" | "password" | "status" | "button";
/**
* If no input has been given by either the user or the plugin, you can
* provide an optional string for the value to fall back to.
*/
fallback?: string;
}
type PluginSettings = Record<string, PluginSetting>;
