Export plugin to pluginFolder

[Matthew Lauber]

Anyone know of a way to use node to automatically export a plugin from a tiddlywiki file into a plugin folder?  I've been banging my head against the wall here, trying to get the plugin.info file to render.  I've got the following so far.

"--load", "../example.html",

"--unpackplugin", "$:/plugins/NameOfPlugin",

"--render", "[[$:/plugins/NameOfPlugin]plugintiddlers[]]", "[encodeuricomponent[]addprefix[tiddlers/]]", "", "$:/core/templates/tid-tiddler",

That renders the tiddlers in the plugin into individual files in the folder, as desired.  But I can't make the plugin.info file work.

Thanks,

Matt

Hi Matt

I’m not sure that it will be possible to produce the plugin.info file in this way. It’s a useful operation, though. Worse case we could make a JS macro that emits a tiddlywiki.info file given a reference to a plugin tiddler.

Best wishes

Jeremy

Thanks,

Matt

I realise this is an old topic, but here is a solution for anyone who finds it. Use this command for a tid-formatted plugin file:

tiddlywiki --import /path/to/plugin/file application/x-tiddler --savewikifolder /path/to/output/folder

or this command for a json-formatted plugin file:

tiddlywiki --import /path/to/plugin/file application/json --savewikifolder /path/to/output/folder

Note that the --savewikifolder command requires the output folder to be empty.

The plugin files, including plugin.info, will be in a subdirectory of the output folder called plugins/PluginName.

Regards,

David.
