Problem when adding a plugin from migration scripts

🆘 Support
1

I am trying to install a addon to a field with migration scripts and content management api. I am not sure if the problem comes from the plugin itself or that i am doing something wrong.

I am using this plugin: Conditional Disabled Fields - Plugins — DatoCMS

The problem is with the targetFieldsApiKey. It does not seem to apply correctly as it doesn’t work as intended and in the admin panel its not set. It does however go to the right field.

Here is the code in question.

module.exports = async (client) => {
  const plugin = await client.plugins.create({
    packageName: 'datocms-plugin-conditional-disabled-field',
  });

  const apiKey = 'wide_cta::headline';
  const headline = await client.field.find(apiKey);
  const newAppearance = headline.appearance;

  newAppearance.addons.push({
    id: plugin.id,
    parameters: {
      targetFieldsApiKey: ['headline_image'],
    },
    field_extension: plugin.name,
  });

  await client.field.update(apiKey, {
    appearance: newAppearance,
  });
};

Also if i set up it manually and check what the object should look like it returns this. I think this i identical to the setup im doing in the migration script.

     appearance: {
      addons: [
        {
          id: '108777',
          parameters: {
            targetFieldsApiKey: ['headline_image'],
          },
          field_extension: 'conditionalDisabledFields',
        },
      ],
    },

Hello @tomas.valkendorff

The problem seems to be that you are using the Legacy plugin syntax, while using a plugin that uses the new SDK: GitHub - thebuilder/datocms-plugin-conditional-disabled-field

You can read the documentation on the syntax for field addons on the new SDK here: Plugin SDK - Field extensions - DatoCMS Docs and migrate your syntax to be compatible with the new SDK

It no longer supports client.plugins.create and it is based around hooks and custom components

I tried following the Docs link you send but i couldn’t get the migrations work with the datocms-plugin-sdk since i got a reference error regarding “window” in the connect function.

After some trial and error i got my script working with almost the same syntax with the new TypeScript CLI.

import { Client } from '@datocms/cma-client';

export default async function pluginToWideCta(client: Client) {
  const plugin = await client.plugins.create({
    package_name: 'datocms-plugin-conditional-disabled-field',
  });

  const apiKey = 'wide_cta::headline';
  const headline = await client.fields.find(apiKey);
  const newAppearance = headline.appearance;

  newAppearance.addons.push({
    id: plugin.id,
    parameters: {
      targetFieldsApiKey: ['headline_image'],
    },
    field_extension: plugin.name,
  });

  await client.fields.update(apiKey, {
    appearance: newAppearance,
  });
}
