:::caution
|
|
Within Meta, plugins sources are stored and loaded from `~/fbsource/xplat/sonar/desktop/plugins`, in which case no further configuration is needed.
|
|
|
|
If your team uses Flipper plugins that are stored outside `fbsource`, please follow your team specific instructions.

Flipper loads and runs plugins it finds in a configurable location. The paths searched are specified in `~/.flipper/config.json`. These `pluginPaths` should contain one folder for each of the plugins it stores.
|
|
|
|
An example config setting and plugin file structure is shown below:
|
|
|
|
`~/.flipper/config.json`:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
{
|
|
...,
|
|
"pluginPaths": ["~/flipper-plugins"]
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Plugin File example structure:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
~ flipper-plugins/
|
|
my-plugin/
|
|
package.json
|
|
src/index.tsx
|
|
dist/bundle.js
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

|

|
:::note
|
|
When using `npx flipper-pkg init` for scaffolding, as explained in the [tutorial](../tutorial/intro.mdx) or on the next page, the path should be configured automatically for you in most cases.

Typically, the above setup is only needed if you are developing plugins.
|
|
|
|
To consume plugins, it is recommended to use one of the existing [distribution mechanisms](plugin-distribution.mdx)
