Extensions "DEPRECATION WARNING" but no documentation

[approxit]

I just realized that I'm getting DEPRECATION WARNING: some_extension is an old extension that uses a deprecated loading method.Please inform the developer that the extension should be updated! with my extensions, but there is no documentation how to make it in "new way".

You're absolutely right. I will update the documentation as soon as possible.

Just an FYI here - I would also really appreciate some info about what's changing and how to use it! 😁

My fault. I've updated the wiki to reflect the new extension loading mechanism.

Regardless, I'm also posting here some boilerplate code for extensions, with conditional loading and showdown's new proper loading mechanism, for quick reference.

(function (extension) {
  if (typeof showdown !== 'undefined') {
    // global (browser or nodejs global)
    extension(showdown);
  } else if (typeof define === 'function' && define.amd) {
    // AMD
    define(['showdown'], extension);
  } else if (typeof exports === 'object') {
    // Node, CommonJS-like
    module.exports = extension(require('showdown'));
  } else {
    // showdown was not found so we throw
    throw Error('Could not find showdown library');
  }

}(function (showdown) {

  // loading extension into shodown
  showdown.extension('myext', function () {
    var myext = { /* ... actual extension code ... */ };
    return [myext];
  });
}));
