Manual Installation

While we recommend using our Templates to get started, you can also install the API client manually.

As a <script> import

Start using the Extensions API client by inserting this code into the <head> tag of your HTML:

<script src="https://unpkg.com/@replit/extensions@1.8.0/dist/index.global.js"></script>

Start using the API client by creating a new <script> tag and using the pre-defined replit variable.

<script>
async function main() {
await replit.init();

...
}

window.addEventListener('load', main);
</script>

As an npm package

Install the client with your preferred package manager, and use the import statement to start using it.

npm install @replit/extensions
yarn add @replit/extensions
pnpm add @replit/extensions

After installing the API client, use the import statement to start using it.

import {
fs,
data,
...
} from '@replit/extensions';
