Theia - Extension Manager

See here for a detailed documentation.

Theia Extension

A Theia extension is a node package declaring theiaExtensions property in package.json:

{
  "theiaExtensions": [{
      "frontend": "lib/myExtension/browser/myextension-frontend-module",
      "backend": "lib/myExtension/node/myextension-backend-module",
    }, {
      "frontend": "lib/myExtension2/browser/myextension2-browser-module",
      "frontendElectron": "lib/myExtension2/electron-browser/myextension2-electron-browser-module",
      "backend": "lib/myExtension2/node/myextension2-node-module",
      "backendElectron": "lib/myExtension2/electron-main/myextension2-electron-main-module"
  }]
}

Each extension can consist of the following modules:

• frontend is used in the browser env and as well in the electron if frontendElectron is not provided
• frontendElectron is used in the electron env
• backend is used in the node env and as well in the electron env if backendElectron is not provided
• backendElectron is used in the electron env

An extension module should have a default export of ContainerModule | Promise<ContainerModule> type.

Theia Application

A Theia application is a node package listing Theia extensions as dependencies and managed with Theia CLI.
