This is an example Zellij plugin in Rust. It can be used as a template to start developing your own plugins.
More about Zellij plugins: Zellij Documentation
Note: you will need to have wasm32-wasi added to rust as a target to build the plugin. This can be done with rustup target add wasm32-wasi.
You can load the ./plugin-dev-workspace.kdl file as a Zellij layout to get a terminal development environment:
Either when starting Zellij:
zellij --layout ./plugin-dev-workspace.kdl
Note that in this case there's a small bug where the plugin is opened twice, it can be remedied by closing the oldest instance or loading with the new-tab action as secified below - this will be addressed in the near future
Or from a running Zellij session:
zellij action new-tab --layout ./plugin-dev-workspace.kdl- Build the project:
cargo build - Load it inside a running Zellij session:
zellij action start-or-reload-plugin file:target/wasm32-wasi/debug/rust-plugin-example.wasm - Repeat on changes (perhaps with a
watchexecor similar command to run on fs changes).
