Select options for Power-Up Generation

Now that you have the Power-Up Generator installed and running, it will ask you two questions that determine how the Power-Up should be configured.

Q1: What is the Power-Up Name?

Provide the name of your new Power-Up which will be used for:

UI elements that reference the name of the Power-Up
Folder Name for the Power-Up

Q2: What Capabilities should be enabled?

Trello Power-Ups provide functionality through extension points called Capabilities. These Capabilities are the starting point for all Power-Ups' back-and-forth conversation with Trello.

Power-Up capabilities are enabled via the Power-Up Admin Portal. When a Power-Up has enabled a capability, it is expected to include a key for each capability when calling TrelloPowerUp.initialize() from its connectorUrl. The value for each key should be a function that returns the expected payload as documented per each capability.

Within the Power-Up Generator, select which Capabilities you want to enable by navigating through the list and making your selection.

Key Mapping:

<Up>/<Down> - Move up/down the list
<Space> - Select or Deselect a Capability
<Enter> - Continue

Once you are happy with your selection it’s time to move onto the next step.

Generate your Trello Power-Up

It’s time for the fun part! The Power-Up Generator will perform the following steps automatically:

Clone the Template Project
Remove any unused capabilities
Configure any dynamic files (e.g. react router, webpack configuration)
Install any package dependencies

After you confirm you wish to start the Power-Up Generation process, sit back, relax and let the Generator works its magic.

Once the project generation process is complete, it’s time to start the Power-Up in development mode.
