The Complete Strapi™ Course with Plugins and Deployment - Extract the Plugin as a Separate Package

The video tutorial guides viewers through the process of extracting code to create a reusable plugin that can be deployed as an NPM package. It covers setting up a separate project, configuring necessary files, and integrating with GitHub. The tutorial also emphasizes the importance of documentation and preparing the plugin for publication on the Strappy marketplace. Finally, it demonstrates how to commit changes and push the code to a GitHub repository.

What is the primary benefit of making a plugin reusable and deploying it as an NPM package?

• It makes the plugin faster.

• It allows the plugin to be used as a dependency in multiple projects.

• It increases the security of the plugin.

• It reduces the size of the application.

What is the purpose of adding a .gitignore file?

• To make the repository private.

• To increase the size of the repository.

• To ignore unnecessary files like node modules.

• To include all files in the repository.

What is the next step after pushing the code to the GitHub repository?

• Publish the plugin as an NPM package.

• Merge the code with another repository.

• Delete the repository.

• Create a new branch.
