To make a plugin it is recommended to use generator-whs-plugin. There you can easily choose whether you will use Babel or not in your plugin, easily fill package.json and bower.json if needed.

INSTRUCTION: Installation

  1. Make a new repository.
  2. Install Yeoman: npm install -g yo
  3. Install Whitestorm.js plugin generator: npm install -g generator-whs-plugin (Github repo)
  4. Run yo whs-plugin.

INSTRUCTION: Development

  1. Run gulp dev in repo folder. This will watch all files you edit in src (watched by webpack dev server) and automatically compile them in real-time.
  2. Open http://localhost:8080/ in browser. Now you should see a basic plugin that creates dynamic sphere shape with green material.

  1. Edit files in src folder. All your changes should be compiled immediately.
  • index.js is a main file. Your plugin will export the same as this file export.

INSTRUCTION: Publishing

As your package.json file is complete and plugin is written - you can publish it to NPM.

  1. Run npm publish.
  2. Profit!
