Example Plugins

The best plugin documentation is still a plugin that runs. These official plugins are good development references.

Calculator

Repository: WiIIiamWei/deskit-plugin-calculator

Good for learning:

• live calculation;
• onSearchChange;
• rendering error rows;
• copy result actions;
• searchable keywords.

The calculator plugin also avoids eval and Function; it parses expressions directly. That is a useful pattern when handling user input.

Timestamp Converter

Repository: WiIIiamWei/deskit-plugin-timestamp

Good for learning:

• turning input into multiple candidate results;
• presenting formats in a list;
• adding copy actions to each item;
• using a clear icon such as lucide:clock.

Clipboard History

Repository: WiIIiamWei/deskit-plugin-clipboard-history

Good for learning:

• background clipboard events;
• favorite, filter, and selected states;
• plugin shortcuts;
• careful sync size limits;
• avoiding duplicate history entries when the plugin writes to clipboard.

This is a more complex plugin. Read it after you are comfortable with basic commands and views.

First plugin ideas

If you want a small first plugin, try:

• text case conversion;
• URL encode/decode;
• JSON formatting;
• regex testing;
• color format conversion;
• simple unit conversion.

Each can provide a complete experience with one list view, and each is a reasonable Marketplace candidate.
