Key Features
- Write frontend plugins using ES6 features such as arrow functions, let/const, destructuring, rest/spread, etc
- Write frontend plugin styles using SCSS
- You can also keep on using vanilla js and css if that's your thing
- Support for frontend plugin modules directly in the main plugin package.json as regular dependencies (the old
src
dir approach also works) - Follows symlinks for @zenginehq modules for a great local development experience
- Ability to
--skip-build
when deploying and publishing and--skip-deploy
when publishing - Minifies CSS, JS and HTML when
prod
orproduction
environment used - Supports
maya-pre-build
andmaya-post-build
package.json scripts for both backend services and frontend plugins mayan watch [plugin]
will watch your frontend plugin directories and deploy on changes for faster development process (recommended: use--frontend
flag). Takes all the same commands asdeploy
.- coming soon
register
command to create/update plugins using the Zengine API and maintain your maya.json ids updated - coming soon
init
command to initialize a local dev environment either from a fresh git clone (registers plugin if necessary) or from scratch (programatically invokes yeoman generator and then registers and publishes plugin)

You can expose your local backend services to the internet using mayan watch --proxy
. Configure the proxy server by placing a proxy_settings
key at the top level, the plugin level, and/or the backend service level. These settings inherit up the "chain," with the service-level overriding all else. Any option could feasibly be placed at any level, but obviously some options more naturally reside in certain locations. The only caveats to that would be:
-
subdomain
,authtoken
,ngrokPort
belong at the top level because these only get referenced once to set up the ngrok tunnel -
port
belongs at the service level (leaving this out will default to 3000 and increment upwards to avoid using the same port for multiple services)
Once you run mayan against a backend service the --proxy
flag, your generated ngrok url will be displayed in the terminal and automatically copied to your clipboard. You can then use this url in your test webhook configurations or send requests to it from your frontend plugin.
While your backend services are running, you can send these commands to mayan using stdin in the same terminal where mayan is running:
.exit
will shut down all processes gracefully (same as ctrl+C)
[backend service name]
typing the name of a service will trigger a reload of that service, similar to saving a file in that service's watched directories.
ex: to reload the
calculate
service, type "calculate" and hit enter
webhook-update [webhook ID]
will use the access token provided in your current environment to fetch the url of the webhook you specified with the second argument, then update that webhook's url to point to your ngrok tunnel, thus routing all of that webhook's traffic to your local service. NB: this command requires the --proxy
flag
ex:
$ mayan w --sd --proxy # output from command indicating services are running https://6e12515eb18c.ngrok.io --> copied to clipboard!

}
With the advent of Zengine Plugins 2.0, any new or migrated plugins should specify version 2 in the frontend configuration, so mayan knows which build process to use.
