If you want to install extensions to your Directus, follow the instructions:

• Access to your Directus project.

• An extension package with the following files:

  • package.json
  • api.js
  • app.js

Installation Steps

1. Locate an Extension: Find the extension you wish to install. For example https://github.com/utomic-media/directus-extension-field-actions

2. Access Your Project: Open your Directus project using VS Code. You can do this by navigating to the Elestio dashboard, clicking on the Tools tab, and selecting VS Code.

3. Navigate to Extensions Folder: In VS Code, locate the extensions folder within your project.

4. Create a New Folder: Inside the extensions folder, create a new folder. This folder name must begin with the prefix directus-extensions-. For example, if you're installing the extension from the provided link, name the folder directus-extension-field-actions.

5. Prepare the Folder Structure: Inside the newly created folder, directus-extension-field-actions, create another folder named dist. This structure ensures that the extension files are organized properly.

6. Copy Files: Copy the package.json file into the directus-extension-field-actions folder, and copy api.js and app.js into the dist folder. Your folder structure should look like this:

   ├── extensions
   │   ├── directus-extension-field-actions
   │   │   ├── dist
   │   │   │   ├── app.js
   │   │   │   ├── api.js
   │   │   ├── package.json
   

7. Restart Directus: Quit VS Code and return to the Elestio dashboard. Click on the Restart button to apply the changes.

Conclusion
