# Publishing to the Marketplace
Sandboxed plugins can be published to the EmDash Marketplace for one-click installation from the admin UI.
## Bundle Format
Published plugins are `.tar.gz` tarballs:
| File | Required | Description |
| --------------- | -------- | ----------------------------------------------- |
| `manifest.json` | Yes | Metadata extracted from `definePlugin()` |
| `backend.js` | No | Bundled sandbox code (self-contained ES module) |
| `admin.js` | No | Bundled admin UI code |
| `README.md` | No | Plugin documentation |
| `icon.png` | No | Plugin icon (256x256 PNG) |
| `screenshots/` | No | Up to 5 screenshots (PNG/JPEG, max 1920x1080) |
## Package Exports for Bundling
The bundle command uses `package.json` exports to find entrypoints:
```json
{
"exports": {
".": { "import": "./dist/index.mjs" },
"./sandbox": { "import": "./dist/sandbox-entry.mjs" },
"./admin": { "import": "./dist/admin.mjs" }
}
}
```
| Export | Purpose | Built as |
| ------------- | ----------------------------- | ------------------------------------ |
| `"."` | Main entry — extract manifest | Externals: `emdash`, `@emdash-cms/*` |
| `"./sandbox"` | Backend code for the sandbox | Fully self-contained (no externals) |
| `"./admin"` | Admin UI components | Fully self-contained |
If `"./sandbox"` is missing, the command looks for `src/sandbox-entry.ts`.
## Build and Publish
```bash
# Bundle only (inspect first)
emdash plugin bundle
tar tzf dist/my-plugin-1.0.0.tar.gz
# Publish (uploads to marketplace)
emdash plugin publish
# Build + publish in one step
emdash plugin publish --build
```
First-time publish authenticates via GitHub device authorization. Token stored in `~/.config/emdash/auth.json` (30-day expiry).
## Validation
The bundle command checks:
- **Size limit** — Total bundle under 5MB
- **No Node.js built-ins** — `backend.js` cannot import `fs`, `path`, etc.
- **Sandbox-incompatible features** — Warns if the plugin declares `portableTextBlocks`, `admin.entry` (React components), or API `routes`, since these require trusted mode
- **Icon dimensions** — 256x256 PNG (warns if wrong)
- **Screenshot limits** — Max 5, max 1920x1080
## Security Audit
Every published version is automatically audited for:
- Data exfiltration patterns
- Credential harvesting via settings
- Obfuscated code
- Resource abuse (crypto mining, etc.)
- Suspicious network activity
Verdict: **pass**, **warn**, or **fail** — displayed on marketplace listing.
## Version Requirements
- Each version must have higher semver than the last
- Cannot overwrite or republish an existing version
- Plugin ID is auto-registered on first publish
