The Plugin Editor

An overview of the Plugin Editor — how to access it and what each of its seven tabs does, from General settings to publishing and reviews.

Written by Sofia Maconi

You can access your Plugins Page at bubble.io/home/plugins and create a new plugin there. This page is also where you'll define your Contributor profile, set your logo, and connect with Stripe if you're selling templates or plugins.

Clicking on the edit icon for a plugin will take you to the Plugin Editor.

The Plugin Editor follows a similar structure to the application editor, organized into 7 tabs.

  1. The General tab is where you define how the plugin looks in the library and add keywords to improve its visibility.

  2. The Shared tab is where you define shared technical aspects of the plugin, like a shared HTML header and assets.

  3. The API calls tab is where you add API connections and authentication methods. It works similarly to the API connector.

  4. The Elements tab lets you create new Bubble elements.

  5. The Actions tab lets you add actions that can be used in Bubble workflows.

  6. The Settings tab lets you publish your plugin, view version history, and pick a license.

  7. The Review tab lets you see reviews from users.

Adding API connections doesn't require coding skills, though a solid understanding of REST API mechanisms helps. Adding elements and actions, on the other hand, does require JavaScript coding skills.

The Plugin Editor automatically saves your work as you go. Note that it doesn't support multi-user editing.
