* ✨ Auto-link libraries during import based on slugified name When a Penpot file is exported without bundled libraries and then imported into a different environment, external library links are broken because library UUIDs differ across environments. This feature adds a heuristic to auto-relink libraries by matching slugified library names against shared files in the target team: - Export: embed external library metadata (id, name, slug, used-by) in the manifest when libraries are not included in the export. - Import: resolve external libraries by slugifying shared file names in the destination team and matching against manifest slugs. - Single match: auto-link silently (creates file-library-rel row). - Multiple matches: emit SSE event so the frontend shows a selection dialog for the user to pick the correct library. - No match: import continues without linking (current behavior). Backend changes: - Extended manifest schema with optional :external-libraries field - Added slugify-name, get-files-names, get-shared-files-for-team, find-shared-files-by-slug helpers in app.binfile.common - Threaded team-id into import cfg from RPC layer - Added resolve-external-libraries and auto-link-libraries in v3 - Emit :library-candidates SSE event for multi-match cases Frontend changes: - Worker captures library-candidates SSE events and forwards them - Import dialog shows auto-link notification and multi-match selection UI with select dropdowns - Added link-files-to-library! RPC helper for user selections - Added en/es translations for new UI strings Closes #9263 Signed-off-by: Andrey Antukh <niwi@niwi.nz> * ✨ Add UI for the auto-link plumbing * ♻️ Consolidate auto-link libraries with unified export-type and fix ref integrity Consolidates the auto-link libraries feature into a single coherent implementation: - Unify boolean flags (embed-assets, include-libraries, link-later) into single ::bfc/export-type parameter - Fix critical reference-integrity bug: pre-resolution no longer remaps :component-file refs when no link is created (multi-match / no-permission) - compute-link-decisions as single source of truth for auto-link logic - 80+ backend tests covering round-trip, cross-team, permissions, edge cases, and reference integrity AI-assisted-by: longcat-2.0 --------- Signed-off-by: Andrey Antukh <niwi@niwi.nz> Co-authored-by: Eva Marco <evamarcod@gmail.com>
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.
-
contrast-plugin: to run this example check Create a plugin from scratch
-
example-styles: to run this example you should run
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.
