Releasing (you can delete this section in your own plugin repo)
To release a new version of the plugin, simply bump up the version number in both version.rb
and
package.json
, and then run script/release
. This will require you to have a registered account
with both the RubyGems.org and NPM registries.
You can optionally remove the package.json
and frontend
folder if you don't need to package frontend
assets for Webpack.

NOTE: make sure you add the bridgetown-plugin
topic to your
