How can I create settings for a plugin?

[gabrielcarloto]

I am thinking of creating a plugin with nodejs and I am wondering how to create an input in the plugin settings, like this one:

I could be wrong, but I couldn't find anything about this in the docs - the only thing I found was this #657. I know that this plugin has a SettingsTemplate.yml, but just adding this does nothing.

If you are writing a c# plugin, you will need to draw a usercontrol instead of using the SettingsTemplate.yml. Maybe we may extend that for c# plugin in the future, but for now you have to write a usercontrol in wpf.

Check this interface https://www.flowlauncher.com/docs/#/API-Reference/Flow.Launcher.Plugin/ISettingProvider

I'm writing a js plugin actually.

You can check the source code of the github launcher plugin. It shall has a settings template file.
Maybe we shall update the docs for that Though.

https://github.com/Garulf/Github-Quick-Launcher/blob/main/SettingsTemplate.yaml

The name is hardcoded, so only SettingsTemplate.yaml will work but not SettingsTemplate.yml

Oh, sorry, .yaml works. I didn't notice that I was writing it wrong. Now, how do I access the values input by the user? Is it in process.env.setting or or something similar?

And yeah it would be nice to have this in the docs.

It is within the json text sending in along the query.
I think you may be able to see it, but i am not familier with our JavaScript plugin structures.
