I started a form plugin C# / Lit project using the Nintex Form Plugin Starter project available at https://github.com/NTX-XT/ntx-form-plugin-starter

and it has this line,

export class PageHighlight extends LitElement {
    static getMetaConfig = (): Promise<PluginContract> | PluginContract => config;

 

and I used it to build a web component that allows a user to select a date from the calendar. 

I now want to store the selected date for use in the form or workflow, so I am trying to follow the example code at https://help.nintex.com/en-US/formplugins/Examples/CreatePlugin_MaterialTextField.htm

which tells me to insert this line,

static getMetaConfig(): Promise<NintexPlugin> | NintexPlugin

As you can see, it uses Promise<NintexPlugin> instead of Promise<PluginContract>.

So which one do I use, and what is the difference between them?

Where is the documentation on how to use getMetaConfig?

 

 

Hi @PabloL 

For you project it should remain as PluginContract, the promise may different between projects.

 

Here is the NPM for the plugin contract that is added as a dependency for this starter kit.

Hi @PabloL 

I just published the template I use, I prefer to use JavaScript over TypeScript so the starter template I use is a little different but I find more friendly.

Hope this helps

Thanks. I can see now that those are simply 2 different methods to call to getMetaConfig and I can modify the file sk-hello-world.config.ts to include the properties that I want from the example.

I still don’t have it completely working yet. It allows me to select the date but it does not store it and is not available to use in the form or workflow.

Here is my code if you want to look and see:
