Webpop allows you to write extensions in server-side javascript. Extensions can be used to add new tags to the Genesis template engine or to take complete control over a url space and control the response. Some examples include extending a section with new fields or new urls, interacting with the content of the website or use our libraries to make HTTP requests or send emails.

Each extension is a file in the Extensions folder with a filename that ends in .js and each extension is a CommonJS module exporting a set of functions.

We maintain a collection of useful extensions in this Github repository.

Just like the javascript that runs in your browser have access to environment specific global objects such as window, parent, document or localStorage, Webpop's server-side javascript extensions have access to a different set of global objects specific to Webpop.

This is a list of the different global object you can access from any Webpop extension.

The Webpop extension engine can be used to extend a section and take control of the url space within that section.

This makes it possible to complete control the response to a url within the website.

The Webpop extension engine uses the Common JS module system. Use require to access the built in libraries.

Webpop's extension engine makes it trivial to create new <pop> tags and add new features to our template engine.
