Penpot Plugins

What can you find here?

We've been working in an MVP to allow users to develop their own plugins and use the existing ones.

There are 2 important folders to keep an eye on: apps and libs.

In the libs folder you'll find:

  • plugins-runtime: here you'll find the code that initializes the plugin and sets a few listeners to know when the penpot page/file/selection changes. It has its own README.
  • plugins-styles: basic css library with penpot styles in case you need help for styling your plugins.

In the apps folder you'll find some examples that use the libraries mentioned above.

pnpm run start:styles-example

Open in your browser: http://localhost:4202/

Run Penpot sample plugins

This guide will help you launch a Penpot plugin from the penpot-plugins repository. Before proceeding, ensure that you have Penpot running locally by following the setup instructions.

In the terminal, navigate to the penpot-plugins repository and run pnpm -r install to install the required dependencies. Then, run pnpm run start to launch the plugins runtime.

After installing the dependencies, choose a plugin to launch. You can either run one of the provided examples or create your own (see "Creating a plugin from scratch" below). To launch a plugin, Open a new terminal tab and run the appropriate startup script for the chosen plugin.

For instance, to launch the Contrast plugin, use the following command:

// for the contrast plugin
pnpm run start:plugin:contrast

Finally, open in your browser the specific port. In this specific example would be http://localhost:4302

A table listing the available plugins and their corresponding startup commands is provided below.
