Usage

This plugin stores full comment histories, including names and timestamps, encoded inside a single text field.

To use this plugin, you'll need to create a column for your comments. If you're using an internal table, a simple text column will work perfectly. If you're using a SQL table, simply pick any string-compatible column.

The settings this plugin requires are:

• A table datasource (either internal, or a SQL table)
• A string column to store your comments
• A row ID to attach the comments to

Building

To build your new plugin run the following in your Budibase CLI:

budi plugins --build

You can also re-build everytime you make a change to your plugin with the command:

budi plugins --watch
