Usage

TypeScript Plugin Development

import type {
  PluginAPI,
  PluginManifest,
  PluginHooks,
} from '@super-productivity/plugin-api';

// Your plugin code with full type support
PluginAPI.registerHook(PluginHooks.TASK_COMPLETE, (taskData) => {
  console.log('Task completed!', taskData);

  PluginAPI.showSnack({
    msg: 'Task completed successfully!',
    type: 'SUCCESS',
    ico: 'celebration',
  });
});

// Register a header button
PluginAPI.registerHeaderButton({
  label: 'My Plugin',
  icon: 'extension',
  onClick: () => {
    PluginAPI.showIndexHtmlAsView();
  },
});

// Register a keyboard shortcut
PluginAPI.registerShortcut({
  id: 'my_shortcut',
  label: 'My Custom Shortcut',
  onExec: () => {
    PluginAPI.showSnack({
      msg: 'Shortcut executed!',
      type: 'SUCCESS',
    });
  },
});

Plugin Development Guide

1. Available Hooks

enum PluginHooks {
  TASK_COMPLETE = 'taskComplete',
  TASK_UPDATE = 'taskUpdate',
  TASK_DELETE = 'taskDelete',
  FINISH_DAY = 'finishDay',
  LANGUAGE_CHANGE = 'languageChange',
  PERSISTED_DATA_CHANGED = 'persistedDataChanged',
  ACTION = 'action',
}

PERSISTED_DATA_CHANGED fires on any persistent-data change to this plugin after the host has finished its initial boot load — including remote sync deliveries and bulk imports. Handler receives no payload; re-call loadSyncedData(key?) for any key your plugin tracks to get fresh data (scoped to the calling plugin). Contract: call loadSyncedData() on plugin init for the initial state; then use this hook for subsequent changes. There is no replay-on-register, no per-key discrimination in the event, and no guaranteed ordering across rapid changes. Handlers must be idempotent.

2. Required Permissions

Add these to your manifest.json based on what your plugin needs:

• showSnack - Show notifications
• notify - System notifications
• showIndexHtmlAsView - Display plugin UI
• openDialog - Show dialogs
• getTasks - Read tasks
• getArchivedTasks - Read archived tasks
• getCurrentContextTasks - Read current context tasks
• addTask - Create tasks
• getAllProjects - Read projects
• addProject - Create projects
• getAllTags - Read tags
• addTag - Create tags
• persistDataSynced - Persist plugin data

3. Plugin Structure

my-plugin/
├── manifest.json
├── plugin.js
├── index.html (optional, if iFrame: true)
└── icon.svg (optional)

4. Example Plugin

// plugin.js
console.log('My Plugin initializing...', PluginAPI);

// Register hook for task completion
PluginAPI.registerHook(PluginAPI.Hooks.TASK_COMPLETE, function (taskData) {
  console.log('Task completed!', taskData);

  PluginAPI.showSnack({
    msg: '🎉 Task completed!',
    type: 'SUCCESS',
    ico: 'celebration',
  });
});

// Register header button
PluginAPI.registerHeaderButton({
  label: 'My Plugin',
  icon: 'dashboard',
  onClick: function () {
    PluginAPI.showIndexHtmlAsView();
  },
});
