Template Structure & What’s Included

The template repository includes:

• manifest.json: Pre-configured schema contract pointing to schemas.zenso.ink.
• index.liquid: Clean semantic markup template ready for custom styling.
• style.css: CSS stylesheet optimized for typography and e-paper pixel contrast.
• mock/plugin.json: Fixtures for rapid local iteration without live network dependencies.
• Vite Dev Simulator: Real-time canvas preview simulating target e-paper aspect ratios and color palettes.

Getting Started in 3 Steps

# 1. Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/zensoink/zenso-plugin-examples.git my-plugin
cd my-plugin

# 2. Install dependencies & start simulator
pnpm install
pnpm dev

# 3. Build distributable plugin.zip
pnpm build

Packaging & Uploading to Panel

Running pnpm build creates a tested dist/plugin.zip archive containing your manifest, Liquid template, and bundled assets. Upload this ZIP directly in your Zenso Web Panel under Plugins -> Upload to start using it immediately.
