Tools

The following tools and resources help you develop plugins.

Sample plugin

We provide a sample plugin with mock data from an external system in the plugin-getting-started GitHub repository. The code is accompanied by the Getting Started with the Plugin SDK tutorial.

Front UI Kit

The Front UI Kit saves you development time by providing a wide array of React components such as buttons, menus, date pickers, and more. Using the Front UI Kit, you'll be able to quickly assemble the UI for your plugins using tested and uniform components.

Legacy sample plugin

🚧

A note about this legacy version

With the release of the plugin SDK v1, the legacy version is now deprecated. Our sample plugin utilizes the legacy SDK. While still supported, new features and improvements will be exclusive to the current version.

For more on how to migrate from the legacy SDK to current head to our migration guide.

We provide a small sample plugin that shows some basic things you can do using our Javascript API. You can check the code on https://github.com/frontapp/frontapp.github.io. If you want to test directly, you can even set the plugin URL to be https://frontapp.github.io/plugin.html to see what the basic plugin can do.
