In this folder, create a file called index.js. In this new folder, create another folder called my_first_component. To do that, create a new folder called components in your src folder. For this, we need to create a React component. Let’s create a component that you will add to the left channel panel. While showing alerts is fun, we can do more. But you also have to install some dependencies: npm install -save-dev babel-loader webpack webpack-cli In the code you downloaded, this is already done for you. You’ll see a new folder called webapp plugin.īecause we removed the web app in a previous version, there is no build in the Makefile. Run git checkout origin/webapp_step1 to see the code. Now, we’re going to add the web app part (even though you can write plugins that have just a server part or just a web app part). Install some dependenciesĪssuming you’ve already followed the steps from my previous articles, you’ve already have a server app. I also recommend taking a look at the Mattermost Developer Plugins Reference or the Todo bot as a starting point. It can be overwhelming for the first time, but it is a good reference. The Mattermost demo plugin gives a very nice overview. My repository contains a branch for each additional step. I made a git-repository from the Mattermost Starter Template Plugin because it is minimalistic and is a good place to start.

By the end of this article, you’ll add an item to the menu and an icon to the channel header. It uses Redux, and you can write your plugin in Typescript as well. In this piece, we’ll explore how to create web app plugins.

We then examined the structure of server-side and web app plugins before walking through how to build a server-side plugin in Mattermost. First, we talked about how to set up your developer environment. This is the fourth installment in a series of articles on Mattermost plugins.
