Tw5-plugin-packer: Pack up your plugins with GitHub Action

Developers
#1

Don’t know how to use automated build tools? Only know how to put plugins into HTML files? Have to manually export JSON files to publish to Release pages every time? If you are in the same boat, try this Action!

The tw5-plugin-packer will package the TiddlyWiki5 plugin folders you wrote into separate JSON files. This is the recommended and easy-to-distribute and update plugin format. Users simply drag the JSON file into the Wiki window to install the plugin. The same Action applies to plugins in formats such as themes, language packs, etc.!

Note: This Action was only released yesterday, there may be some potential bugs, if you encounter any problems, you can leave a comment or Issue here.

The tw5-plugin-packer updates to v0.0.4!

The relevant tiddlers (JS and CSS tiddlers) are now compressed by default using UglifyJs and CleanCSS. Use the minify parameter to turn this feature off, or you can customize the compression parameters.
