external

External plugin approach

• The plugin code doesn't need to be written in ES6,
• Your class has to extend the BasePlugin class,
• Your plugin files need to be included to your site, see the following example:

<script src="./handsontable.full.js"></script>
<script src="./yourPluginFile.js"></script>

Quick start step by step tutorial

• Copy the externalPluginSkeleton.js file and rename it to describe your plugin. Let's use myPlugin.js for this example.
• Change the class name to fit the filename, in our case:

function MyPlugin(hotInstance) {

and in the method definitions:

// for example
MyPlugin.prototype.isEnabled = function() {
}

• Implement your functionality using the guidelines from the comments,
• Include the handsontable.full.js and myPlugin.js files on your website, and you're good to go!

<script src="./handsontable.full.js"></script>
<script src="./myPlugin.js"></script>
