We have a tool that steps through the process of:
It's a single command that gets the OpsPortal developers right where they want to go.
# from your [sailsRoot]
$ cd node_modules/
$ appdev opstoolplugin [pluginName]
# [pluginName] is whatever you want to name your new plugin
# there will be a series of questions about your npm package:
# client side unit tests: for testing out UI
# author / description / version : yeah, you can figure those out
# git repository: by default appdevdesigns/[pluginName] <-- you'll wanna change that to yours.
