Widgets are added to an extension’s structure in a /widget
directory that is at the same level as the extension’s ext.json
file. Each widget should have its own child directory in the /widget
directory. The following example shows the directories and files that can be included for a widget:
<extension-name> : the root folder of your extension ext.json widget/ <widget-type>/ widget.json templates/ display.template js/ <widget-type>.js less widget.less locales/ <locale code, for example, en or en_US>/ ns.<widget-type>.json <other locale codes>/ ns.<widget-type>.json images/
If your widget does not involve the creation of user interface elements or require custom JavaScript, the widget structure can omit a number of directories and files used for these purposes. The following shows the minimum set of files and directories needed for a widget to pass validation on upload:
<extension-name> ext.json widget/ <widget-type>/ widget.json
