They can help you customize YouTrack to fit your organization's specific needs, improving your project management, reporting, automation, or integrating with other tools in your software ecosystem. To learn more about app development for the YouTrack platform, please refer to our Developer Portal.

Adding Features to a Generated App

After you have generated an app, you may want to add more features. Add new features quickly with one of these commands:

Сontributing

To test locally, run one of the package.json scripts like npm run widget. This generator uses Hygen under the hood.

Run npm test to check basic generation workflow.

Caveats

While Hygen is a powerful tool for generating files, it isn't ideal for working with JSON files. This means JSON manipulation can be a challenge. To address this issue, we have added a injectJsCallback.js file. This file contains a helper function that can be used to create custom JS actions instead of simply rendering files. An example that demonstrates the use of this function can be found in the _templates/settings/init/index.js file.
