Examples

Uploading extension

Before starting, extensions can only be associated with an account iTwin so make sure you have access to your organization account iTwin and have ManageExtensions RBAC permission on that iTwin.

Firstly, extension needs to be created using publish-extension. iTwinId must be an ID of your organization account iTwin. Extensions and all its versions will be available to any users what have access to any iTwin under your provided account iTwin. After running command you'll see extension ID, this will be used to uniquely identify your extension among every other extension.

Finally, to upload extension version you'll need to use publish-extension-version command. extensionId is your extension id and filePath should be a path to the manifest (package.json) file. Before trying to upload extension version make sure that your manifest satisfies these requirements:

• name property matches your extension name.
• version property exists with a valid semantic versioning number.
• main property contains path to JavaScript file.
• Has dependency or peer dependency on @itwin/core-extension package.

For more information, see iTwin.js Extensions documentation.

At the moment, CLI doesn't provide delete functionality. If publishing of extension version failed, you may need to bump extension version in manifest file before trying again.
