Asset Viewer

||

The Asset Viewer extension adds a custom panel to the Asset Viewer sidebar, letting users access additional information or functionality directly alongside any asset.

What you'll learn:

• What the Asset Viewer extension does and where it appears in Showpad
• How to declare it in your manifest.json

Use the assetViewerExtensions property in your manifest to define it:

"assetViewerExtensions": [
  {
    "extensionKey": "augment-asset",
    "name": "My Asset Viewer Extension",
    "description": "An app that augments assets with additional information.",
    "icon": "asset-viewer-icon.png",
    "resources": {
      "folder": "asset-viewer-extension"
    }
  }
]

note

For optimal rendering in the sidebar, use a 48x48 pixel icon.
