FAQPage Schema

How does the Madoc extension manager dispatch calls to TypeScript extensions?▼

The Madoc extension manager dispatches calls by routing requests through registered entry points, ensuring correct chaining across registry extensions. This mechanism allows TypeScript extensions to intercept and handle dispatch flows before returning results.

How do I add a new TypeScript extension to the Madoc registry?▼

To add a new TypeScript extension to the Madoc registry, locate the ExtensionManager and RegistryExtension entry points in services/madoc-ts, implement the registry-backed definitions, and verify proper dispose and dispatch chaining for the new extension.

What are registry-based plugin overrides in Madoc and when do I need them?▼

Registry-based plugin overrides in Madoc allow developers to replace base definitions using a plugin-<registry> naming convention. You need them when customizing themes, media, or tasks to ensure the override correctly maps to the target registry name.

Why is my Madoc plugin override not applying to the correct registry extension?▼

Your Madoc plugin override may not apply if the registry name mapping is incorrect or if pre-registration buffering behavior affects the timing. Verify the plugin-<registry> name matches the base definition and check the extension removal events.

Can I use TypeScript to extend Madoc themes and tasks without breaking the dispatch lifecycle?▼

Yes, you can extend Madoc themes and tasks using TypeScript by implementing registry-backed definitions and ensuring proper dispose handling. Correctly mapping plugin overrides and verifying dispatch chaining prevents lifecycle bugs during extension removal.
