Addon specification (meta.json)
Deprecated | 0.55.0 |
Removal | April, 2025 |
References | #5408 |
Impacts all add-ons.
Add-ons are defined by a meta.json
on their root folder.
This file includes basic definitions like version, identifier, name and
can hold information about other things like configuration for the frontend and backend part as well.
The schema of meta.json
has been reworked and will be replaced by a new .addon.yaml
.
Right now, the application takes care of migrating the old meta.json
definition to the new .addon.yaml
schema whenever an addon is uploaded in case an .addon.yaml
cannot be found.
However, in the foreseeable future, all addons are required to provide an .addon.yaml
directly.
The old meta.json
won’t be read anymore.
See the documentation about how to configure add-ons to see any changes from the old to the new format.
