Idea for CodePen plugins (by @tlack) | |
Step 1: Establish simple plugin architecture/API | |
```javascript | |
CP.Plugins.add({ | |
context: CP.Html, | |
re: /fun ([a-z_][a-z0-9_]+)/, | |
callback: function(cpPluginContext, match) { | |
var str = "function "+match.$1+"() {\n// Comment\n\n}\n"; | |
cpPluginContext.replace(str); | |
} | |
}); | |
``` | |
Step 2: Allow users to load their own plugin URLs for each pen | |
Allow users to specify a list of a couple Javascript URLs to load | |
for each pen. They'll be created as <script> tags. | |
Step 3: Allow the community to build the plugin ecosystem | |
Feature best plugins or at least encourage their creation. | |
Step 4: Expand API | |
Allow Intellisense-like plugins, on-save callbacks, etc etc.. | |
