Required files

You must have files with these exact filenames:

Filename	Description
./go.mod	Go modules dependencies. Refer to Golang documentation
./src/plugin.json	A JSON file describing the plugin.
./src/module.ts	The entry point of the frontend plugin.
./pkg/main.go	The entry point of the backend plugin.

Optional files

These files in your project are optional:

Filename	Description
./Magefile.go	We strongly recommend using mage build files so that you can use the build targets provided by the backend plugin SDK.
