Manage addons

Search, install, update, remove, and push addons (plugins, components, templates, themes) from the hub.

All addon commands accept --slidesk-link-url <url> to point to a custom hub instance (default: https://slidesk.link).

Addons are named @author/name. @author__name is accepted too: it is the name of the installed directory.

slidesk plugin search steps
slidesk component search qrcode
slidesk template search split
slidesk theme search dark

Install

slidesk plugin install @gouz/steps
slidesk component install @gouz/qrcode
slidesk template install @gouz/split
slidesk theme install @gouz/night

Plugins, templates and themes land in their own directory, for instance plugins/@gouz__steps/. Components are dropped into components/ as <user>__<name>.mjs, for instance components/@gouz__qrcode.mjs.

Installing an addon that is already there replaces it, files of the previous version included.

Update

slidesk plugin update @gouz/steps
slidesk component update @gouz/qrcode
slidesk template update @gouz/split
slidesk theme update @gouz/night

Or update every addon of the talk at once, or every addon of one kind:

slidesk update
slidesk update plugins

The installed version is only replaced once the new one is downloaded: when the hub cannot be reached, you keep the version you had.

Remove

slidesk plugin remove @gouz/steps
slidesk component remove @gouz/qrcode
slidesk template remove @gouz/split
slidesk theme remove @gouz/night

When a command fails (addon not found on the hub, hub unreachable, nothing installed under that name), it prints why and exits with code 1.

Push (share your own)

Requires slidesk link login first.

slidesk plugin push my-plugin
slidesk component push my-component
slidesk template push my-template
slidesk theme push my-theme

Run it from the directory that holds the addon: my-plugin/, my-template/ and my-theme/ are directories, while my-component stands for my-component.mjs.
