creating-plugins

To build an EmDash CMS plugin, run the create-plugin script within your TypeScript environment to scaffold the project and generate the necessary configuration files. This environment provides hooks, storage, and API routes for your development workflow.

Yes, you can add custom block types to the Portable Text editor in EmDash by developing a plugin. This allows you to embed custom content components, such as YouTube videos, directly within your site's rich text content.

Yes, EmDash plugin development supports creating REST API routes to handle server-side logic. You can implement custom endpoints within your plugin to extend the CMS backend functionality and integrate external services.

EmDash hooks allow you to execute custom logic during content, media, and lifecycle events. You register these event handlers within your TypeScript plugin to intercept and modify data as it is processed by the CMS.

Yes, you need the EmDash framework and associated TypeScript tools to build admin UI components. The framework provides Block Kit, which is used to construct admin pages and interactive dashboard widgets for your plugins.

EmDash plugin storage provides document collections with indexed queries for persistent data management. You leverage this built-in storage mechanism within your plugin to save, retrieve, and query structured data efficiently.
