How to Use This Template

This guide assumes you're using this extension as a base for a new one, and have installed LNbits using https://github.com/lnbits/lnbits/blob/main/docs/guide/installation.md#option-1-recommended-poetry.

1. Install and enable the extension either through the official LNbits manifest or by adding https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lnbits/myextension/main/manifest.json to "Server"/"Server"/"Extension Sources".

2. Ctrl c shut down your LNbits installation.

3. Download the extension files from https://github.com/lnbits/myextension to a folder outside of /lnbits, and initialize the folder with git. Alternatively, create a repo, copy the myextension extension files into it, then git clone the extension to a location outside of /lnbits.

4. Remove the installed extension from lnbits/lnbits/extensions.

5. Create a symbolic link using ln -s /home/ben/Projects/<name of your extension> /home/ben/Projects/lnbits/lnbits/extensions.

6. Restart your LNbits installation. You can now modify your extension and git push changes to a repo.

7. When you're ready to share your manifest so others can install it, edit /lnbits/myextension/manifest.json to include the git credentials of your extension.

8. IMPORTANT: If you want your extension to be added to the official LNbits manifest, please follow the guidelines here: https://github.com/lnbits/lnbits-extensions#important
