Plugins in old browsers

Kiosk Shell version 1 uses the Edge Legacy (version 18) browser. Plugins are not supported out of the box in Edge 18, but with some modifications, a subset of plugin features can be made to work.

Note: Page and block components are not supported in Edge 18 because Web Components support is required.

Modifications to boiler plate project​

The following changes are required to make the Frontend Plugin Boilerplate ompatible with Edge 18.

  1. Edit build.mjs, add a property to the buildArgs object:
target: 'edge18'
  1. Edit plugin code, remove export default and replace it with:
async function main(context: Context) {
    // ...
};

(window as any).plugins.myPlugin = main;
  1. Add a property to manifest.json:
"esm": false
