The best way to initialize a JS plugin is to create a directory, and run `yarn init` inside it. Make sure your package name is the same as the identifier of the client plugin. After that create an `index.js` file which will be the entry point to your plugin. An example `package.json` file could look like this:
The best way to initialize a JS plugin is to create a directory, and run `yarn init` inside it. Make sure your package name is the same as the identifier of the client plugin, e.g. if your Java plugin returns `myplugin` from its `getId()` method, the `name` field in your `package.json` should also be `myplugin`.
Plugins can be written in plain ES6 JavaScript, [Flow](https://flow.org/) or [TypeScript](https://www.typescriptlang.org/) but we recommend you use TypeScript for the best development experience. We also recommend you use the file extension `.tsx` when using TypeScript which adds support for inline React expressions.
After `yarn init` finishes, create an `index.tsx` file which will be the entry point to your plugin. An example `package.json` file could look like this:
Example `package.json`:
```
{
"name": "myplugin",
"version": "1.0.0",
"main": "index.js",
"main": "index.tsx",
"license": "MIT",

### ES6, babel-transforms and bundling
Our plugin-loader is capable of all ES6 goodness, flow annotations and JSX and applies the required babel-transforms without you having to care about this. Also you don't need to bundle your plugin, you can simply use ES6 imports and it will work out of the box.
