Quick start

To facilitate the development of a plugin, we drastically reduce the amount of commands necessary to install the entire development environment. Before getting started, you need to have Node.js (v8) and npm (v5) installed.

Development Environment Setup

Create a development project

1. Create a new project cd .. && strapi new myDevelopmentProject.
2. cd myDevelopmentProject && strapi start To start the strapi project

Plugin development Setup

In a new terminal window:

1. Generate a new plugin: cd /path/to/myDevelopmentProject && strapi generate:plugin my-plugin

::: note The admin development is currently not available. (Only the backend part is working) :::
