DatoCMS Plugins

Description

DatoCMS lets teams extend its editing interface with custom plugins. These fourteen PDF lessons start with the basics of plugin development and the architecture of the Plugin SDK, then cover how to set up a development environment.

You work through a custom field editor, sidebar panels, third-party API integrations and DatoCMS data models, followed by real-time updates and live previews. Later lessons deal with plugin configuration, testing and debugging, deployment to production, and preparing a plugin for public release. The PDFs include exercises, tables and a checklist. The lessons build on one another, so the later topics make use of what you set up earlier.

Who it is for: web developers who already work with a headless CMS and want to build their own DatoCMS plugins.
