Welcome to the Netlify SDK, the toolset for developing Netlify Extensions!
Welcome to the Netlify SDK, the toolset for developing Netlify Extensions!
Netlify Extensions expand the capabilities of the Netlify platform and streamline developer workflows. For example:
- Content generation. Create sitemaps, RSS feeds, or search indexes as part of the build process.
- Quality assurance. Check for broken links in a site after the build completes but before the site is deployed.
- Installation process automation. Simplify the workflow for developers using your service with Netlify by doing things like generating required environment variables automatically instead of asking users to set them manually.
- Run on-demand, server-side code without a dedicated server. Leverage serverless functions, including background and scheduled functions, to add APIs and services to sites.
- Security or performance optimizations added at the network edge. Leverage Edge Functions to add extra bot and fraud protection, cache optimizations, and more.
These are just a few examples of how you can accelerate your business and contribute to the composable architecture ecosystem with Netlify Extensions built using the Netlify SDK.
To create a new extension with the Netlify SDK, run the create command using npm, pnpm, or yarn.
``
pnpm create @netlify/sdk@latest
