For all the other types of extensions we have folders in the extensions folder(for example there are hooks and endpoints folders, but no bundles folder), which I am mounting as a volume inside the directus container. There is one more difference between bundle extensions and the other extension types, which is bundle extensions have two bundles, app.js and api.js(app is for displays, interfaces, layouts, modules, operations, panels and api is for endpoints, hooks, operations). Where do we put those two js bundles ?

Unarchive since still not solved.

Directly in your extensions folder as “directus-extension-NAME-bundle” as long as it’s prefixed with “directus-extension-“ and ends with “-bundle” it will find it

@gusty acorn this a place to improve Docs?

ending with -bundle is not required. but you do need a package.json for bundles

When I build the bundle extensions I get only app.js and api.js as output. There is no package.json. Directus still cannot load the bundle extensions.

unlike the single extensions you need these files:
directus-extension-your-extension/
- package.json
- dist/
- app.js
- api.js
the package.json is used to determine the type of extension and where the dist/* ended up in the directus:extension section
when developing you can use your entire extension including source if you like

Okay I see now. I've changed the path for app and api under directus:extension, so that when I build the bundle the output lands directly inside the extensions folder. I will leave the output configuration as is, but how do I "move" the output of the bundle build to the extensions folder ?
meager verge
any way that works for your setup, as long as it ends up in the extensions folder 😬 copy-pasting, symlinking, npm linking, mounting it in docker volume

Thank you very much for clarifying this for me(hopefully for others in similar situation as well). Closing thread now.
