Plugin Manifest: plugin.json

Every Sisense Add-on is defined via a manifest file called plugin.json located in the root directory of the Add-on.

This file determines how the Add-on's code is processed and loaded into the Sisense web application.

Versions

Sisense currently has 3 Add-on infrastructure versions:

Each version has a slightly different structure/format for plugin.json. They are described below.

Sisense Add-on Infra V2

Properties

ES2015 Support

This version introduced support for ES6/ES2015 using babel.js. However, JavaScript files do not automatically get processed by Babel!

To have a file go through Babel, use the extension .6.js for example, instead of index.js use index.6.js. This extension needs to be used both in the actual file name and in the source property of the plugin.json file.

Example

{
    "name": "pluginName",
    "pluginInfraVersion": 2,
    "isEnabled": true,
    "source": [
        "index.js",
        "functions.6.js"
    ],
    "style": [
        "main.css",
        "main-ie.css"
    ]
}

Properties

Example

{
    "name": "addButtons",
    "pluginInfraVersion": 3,
