Community Extension

Full Documentation

To submit an extension, you need to create a GitHub repo for it and make a PR to this repo.

In your own extension repo

E.g. https://github.com/tonsky/roam-calculator:

1. Provide README.md (required)
2. Provide extension.js (required)
3. Provide extension.css (optional)
4. Provide CHANGELOG.md (optional)

extension.js

Your extension should export as default a map with onload and onunload functions.

All state setup in onload should be removed in onunload.

export default {
  onload: () => {},
  onunload: () => {}
};

build.sh

If build.sh exists in the root of your repo, it will be invoked before looking for extension.js/extension.css files.

The environment it’ll be invoked in is ubuntu-20.04 from GitHub Actions. Consult this to see what is available.

If your build script requires anything extra (e.g. libraries from NPM), it should download them as a part of build.sh execution.

In this repo

1. Fork this repo
2. Create metadata file in extensions/<your username>/<your repo>.json

In a case of calculator, you would create

extensions/tonsky/roam-calculator.json

with the following content:

{
  "name": "Test Extension 1",
  "short_description": "Prints 'Test message 1'",
  "author": "Nikita Prokopov",
  "tags": ["print", "test"], //optional
  "source_url": "https://github.com/tonsky/roam-calculator",
  "source_repo": "https://github.com/tonsky/roam-calculator.git",
  "source_commit": "d5ecd16363975b2e7a097d46e5f411c95e16682d",
  "stripe_account": "acct_1LGASrQVCl6NYjck" // optional
}

Then make a Pull Request with this change. After it’s merged, your extension will be published in the Roam Marketplace.
