Find out more about Budibase.

Features

  • Easy setup
  • Automatic timestamping and avatars for users
  • Comments can be deleted
  • Max height set, with scrollable comment history
  • No limit on number of comments
  • Press enter to post a comment

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
