Backslash extensions

The extensions of Backslash, the launcher for Linux,
and everything you need to write your own: an afternoon is plenty.

---

Use them

Open Browse Extensions in Backslash, or from a terminal:

backslash search            # browse the registry
backslash install github    # install, after showing what it is allowed to do
backslash update            # update everything installed

Build your first extension

An extension is a folder: a backslash.toml manifest and one TypeScript file per command. No build step, no node_modules, no bundler. The launcher draws the interface (search, keyboard navigation, preview panel, action panel, loading and errors), so your code only says what to show.

We'll build Release Radar: the latest release of the GitHub repositories you follow, with the release notes in the preview panel. It covers what most extensions need: a web API, a list with details and actions, preferences, a secret, permissions and tests. The finished code is in examples/release-radar.

1. Create it

You need Backslash and Deno (backslash install-runtime downloads it if you don't have it).

backslash new release-radar     # a working extension with one command
cd release-radar
backslash dev                   # opens the launcher with it loaded, logs in this terminal, reloads on save

release-radar/
├── backslash.toml        what it is and what it may do
├── commands/
│   └── hello.ts          one file per command
└── deno.json             editor support only (types for @backslash/api)

2. Describe it: backslash.toml

[extension]
id = "release-radar"                # [a-z0-9-]+, unique in the registry
title = "Release Radar"
description = "The latest release of the GitHub repositories you follow"
version = "0.1.0"
author = "you"
icon = "bs-tag"                     # a Backslash glyph, a theme icon name or an emoji
license = "MIT"
categories = ["developer"]          # where the store lists it: developer, system, network,
                                    # productivity, media or everyday

# Everything not listed is denied, and the sandbox enforces it.
# Users read these lines before the first run.
[permissions]
net = ["api.github.com", "avatars.githubusercontent.com"]

[[commands]]
name = "releases"                   # → commands/releases.ts
title = "Latest Releases"           # what users type to find it
description = "The newest release of each repository you follow"
icon = "bs-tag"
keywords = ["github", "release", "version", "changelog"]

[[preferences]]                     # Settings → Extensions → Configure
name = "repos"
title = "Repositories"
description = "owner/name, separated by commas: denoland/deno, rust-lang/rust"
required = true                     # asked before the first run

[[preferences]]
name = "token"
title = "GitHub token"
description = "Optional: raises the rate limit from 60 to 5,000 requests an hour"
type = "secret"                     # stored in the system keyring, never in a file

Rename commands/hello.ts to commands/releases.ts.

3. Keep the logic in lib.ts

Put what you can in plain functions, away from the launcher: they are easy to read, review and test.

// lib.ts
export interface Release {
  tag_name: string;
  name: string | null;
  html_url: string;
  published_at: string;
  body: string | null;
  author: { login: string; avatar_url: string };
}

/** "denoland/deno, rust-lang/rust" → ["denoland/deno", "rust-lang/rust"], ignoring anything else. */
export function parseRepos(text: string): string[] {
  const repos = text.split(/[\s,]+/).filter((r) => /^[\w.-]+\/[\w.-]+$/.test(r));
  return [...new Set(repos)];
}

/** A short age for the list: "today", "3d", "2mo", "1y". */
export function age(date: string, now = Date.now()): string {
  const days = Math.floor((now - Date.parse(date)) / 86_400_000);
  if (days < 1) return "today";
  if (days < 30) return `${days}d`;
  if (days < 365) return `${Math.floor(days / 30)}mo`;
  return `${Math.floor(days / 365)}y`;
}

4. Write the command

A command default-exports a view. Here, a list whose items are loaded once; the launcher filters them as you type.

// commands/releases.ts
import { copy, Icons, list, meta, open } from "@backslash/api";
import { age, parseRepos, type Release } from "../lib.ts";

export default list({
  placeholder: "Filter releases…",
  empty: { title: "No releases yet", description: "Add repositories in Settings → Extensions", icon: Icons.tag },
  status: (items) => `${items.length} repositories`, // the footer line
  async items({ preferences, signal }) {
    const headers: Record<string, string> = { Accept: "application/vnd.github+json" };
    if (preferences.token) headers.Authorization = `Bearer ${preferences.token}`;

    const found = await Promise.all(
      parseRepos(String(preferences.repos)).map(async (repo) => {
        // `signal` is aborted when the user leaves: slow requests are cancelled for free.
        const res = await fetch(`https://api.github.com/repos/${repo}/releases/latest`, { headers, signal });
        return res.ok ? { repo, release: (await res.json()) as Release } : null;
      }),
    );

    return found
      .filter((f) => f !== null)
      .sort((a, b) => b.release.published_at.localeCompare(a.release.published_at))
      .map(({ repo, release }) => ({
        id: repo, // keeps the selection when the list refreshes
        title: repo,
        subtitle: release.name ?? release.tag_name,
        icon: { source: Icons.tag, tint: "purple" },
        tags: [release.tag_name],
        accessories: [{ text: age(release.published_at) }],
        detail: {
          // the preview panel on the right
          markdown: release.body ?? "_No release notes._",
          metadata: [
            meta.text("Version", release.tag_name, { icon: Icons.tag }),
            meta.text("Published", new Date(release.published_at).toLocaleDateString()),
            meta.person("Author", release.author.login, release.author.avatar_url),
          ],
        },
        actions: [
          // first = Enter, second = Ctrl+Enter, all of them in Ctrl+K
          open(release.html_url, "Open Release"),
          copy(release.tag_name, "Copy Version"),
          open(`https://github.com/${repo}`, "Open Repository", { shortcut: "<Ctrl>o" }),
        ],
      }));
  },
});

That's the whole command. Throwing an error anywhere shows it in the launcher.

5. Try it

backslash dev                                   # in the launcher, with logs; save a file to reload
backslash run release-radar/releases --json     # or straight from a terminal, to see exactly what you return

console.log goes to the backslash dev output. Set your preferences in Settings → Extensions → Release Radar (the form also opens by itself the first time, because repos is required).

6. Test it

// lib_test.ts
import { assertEquals } from "jsr:@std/assert@1";
import { age, parseRepos } from "./lib.ts";

Deno.test("repositories: commas, spaces, duplicates and junk", () => {
  assertEquals(parseRepos("denoland/deno, rust-lang/rust\nnot a repo, denoland/deno"), [
    "denoland/deno",
    "rust-lang/rust",
  ]);
});

Deno.test("age of a release", () => {
  const now = Date.parse("2026-10-28T12:00:00Z");
  assertEquals(age("2026-10-25T12:00:00Z", now), "3d");
  assertEquals(age("2024-10-01T12:00:00Z", now), "2y");
});

deno test          # and deno check commands/*.ts, deno fmt, deno lint

7. Share it

Push the folder to a public git repository. Anyone can install it right away with backslash install https://github.com/you/release-radar (they are told it isn't reviewed), and you can list it in the registry so it shows up in Browse Extensions.

Cheat sheet

Everything below comes from @backslash/api. The full guide has the details.

I want to…	Use
Show a list filtered by the launcher	list({ items }): an array, an async function, or an async generator that yields as results arrive
Search as the user types (web APIs)	list({ search(query, { signal }) }): debounced, the previous call is aborted
Show tiles (emoji, images, colors)	list({ layout: "grid", columns: 8, items })
Offer views of the same data	filter: { options: ["Assigned", "Created"] }, read ctx.filter; Tab cycles them
Show a page of text	detail({ markdown, metadata }); markdown can be an async generator to stream an answer
Ask for input	form({ fields: [field.text(…), field.dropdown(…)], submit(values) })
Run something without a window	mode = "no-view" in the manifest and run(async (ctx) => "Done")
Take an argument (Add Task buy milk)	[[commands.arguments]] in the manifest, read ctx.args
Open, copy or paste	open(url), copy(text), paste(text) actions
Run your own code on Enter	action("Archive", async () => refresh()); return a view to navigate, or close(), pop(), refresh(), replace(view)
Group actions or nest them	{ section: "Copy" } on an action, submenu("Move to", [...])
Guard a dangerous action	{ destructive: true, confirm: "Delete the branch?" }
Settings and API keys	[[preferences]], type = "secret" for tokens, read ctx.preferences
Sign in with OAuth	oauth.token(provider): PKCE, browser, refresh and keyring are handled
Remember something	storage.get(key) / storage.set(key, value): private JSON store, no permission needed
Run a program	exec("git", ["status"]), with the program in [permissions] run
Tell the user	toast("Saved", { style: "success" })
Show a live count in the root search	updateCommandMetadata({ subtitle: "3 in progress" })
Rich rows	subtitle, tags, accessories (text, pills, avatars), section, keywords
Rich previews	detail.stats, detail.markdown, detail.metadata with meta.text/tags/person/link/progress
Crisp icons	Icons.pullRequest, Icons.inProgress…, optionally { source, tint: "green" }
Use a library	import { format } from "npm:date-fns@4" or jsr: imports, or map them in deno.json
Write it in another language	[runtime] kind = "exec" and speak the protocol (not sandboxed)

What makes a good extension

• One job, done well. A title users would type, a description that says what they get, keywords for the words they might use instead (other languages too), and the categories users would browse for it in the store.
• Fast first paint. Pass signal to fetch, load in parallel, yield partial results from an async generator when a source is slow, and cache in storage when the data barely changes.
• Useful at a glance. Put the state users came for in the row (status, counts, age) and the rest in the preview panel. Prefer Icons glyphs to emoji and theme icons: they look the same on every desktop.
• Good empty and error states. An empty message that says what to do next; errors thrown with a sentence a user understands ("GitHub refused the token: check it in Settings").
• The narrowest permissions. Specific hosts and programs, never ["*"] when a list will do. Tokens are type = "secret" preferences, never in code or storage.
• Keyboard first. The action users want most is first (Enter), the second one is Ctrl+Enter, and frequent ones get a shortcut.
• Tested. Parsing and formatting live in lib.ts with a lib_test.ts next to it.

Publish it

registry/<id>.toml is a small file per extension. It points to the extension's code wherever it lives (your own repository), pinned to a commit, with a checksum of its files and the list of what it is allowed to do:

id = "github"
title = "GitHub"
description = "Pull requests with their checks and reviews, your issues, and repository search"
author = "Backslash"
icon = "bs-repo"
version = "1.1.0"
repository = "https://github.com/backslash-app/plugins"
path = "extensions/github"
commit = "a64f60074557298bf4cabf235c6e91e1f4e54082"
checksum = "sha256:37f89a1e…"
permissions = ["Access api.github.com", "Access avatars.githubusercontent.com", "Run gh"]
commands = ["Search GitHub Repositories", "My Pull Requests", "My GitHub Issues"]
categories = ["developer"]

To publish:

1. Commit and push your extension to a public git repository (it can be one of several in the same repository).
2. Run backslash publish path/to/extension. It prints the registry entry for your last commit.
3. Open a pull request here adding that file as registry/<id>.toml.
4. For a new version: bump version in backslash.toml, commit, push, run backslash publish again and open a pull request updating the file.

CI checks every entry: it clones your repository at the commit, recomputes the checksum and compares the manifest and permissions (deno run -A scripts/validate.ts). Backslash then installs exactly that commit and refuses anything whose files, version or permissions differ. So:

• You keep your code in your repository; publishing a version is a one-file pull request.
• Reviews are small and meaningful: reviewers read the code at one commit and see the permissions it gets. Nothing can change after the review.
• Users see the permissions before installing, and are asked again when an update wants more. The sandbox (Deno) enforces them.

Review guidelines

• The extension does what its title and description say, nothing else.
• Permissions are as narrow as possible: specific hosts, specific programs.
• No obfuscated or minified code, no downloading and running code at runtime.
• Secrets are type = "secret" preferences, never hardcoded.
• Destructive actions are marked destructive and ask for confirmation.

Contributing to this repository

The first-party extensions live in extensions/; each is a good example to start from. They follow the same layout as the tutorial: backslash.toml, commands/, the logic in lib.ts (and api.ts for a web API) with lib_test.ts next to it.

git clone https://github.com/backslash-app/plugins && cd plugins
git clone https://github.com/backslash-app/backslash .backslash   # the SDK types for @backslash/api
deno check extensions/*/commands/*.ts
deno test --allow-read --allow-write --allow-env --allow-run extensions examples   # what CI runs
deno fmt && deno lint
backslash dev extensions/github     # live reload in the launcher

Their registry entries are regenerated with scripts/update-entries.sh after a change is merged. Extension icons can be emoji, theme icon names, or Backslash's own glyphs (bs-repo, bs-sparkle…, see Icons in the SDK), which look the same on every desktop.

Ideas for new extensions and bug reports are welcome in the issues.
