Nextcloud-Addon

[josaur]

Hi,
thanks for this awesome project. For better integration into nextcloud and therefore another open source ecosystem. I'd like the make an Nextcloud-Plugin using your project for editing and creating files within nextcloud. Do you have heart about some plans like this before?
Greetings

We're excited to hear about your plans to develop a plugin for Nextcloud. chili3d is built with Web Components, making it very easy to integrate into any standard HTML element with great flexibility.

Additionally, it supports reading files directly from a URL #118 , which we believe will help streamline your integration work with Nextcloud.

Hi,
thank you a lot for the kind response. Great to hear that the application already has abilities to streamline integrations. This will be a good starting point.

From my perspective the integration would profit especially from two functionalities:

• Autosave: the easiest way to archive that if the application pushes the least recent version against file system api of nextcloud every minute or another time period or after a change. To archive that I'm not shure if i have to modify your code or if there is a hook or something like that to archive that
• Import/Export to Nextcloud: Your application has both imports and exports. A great functionality would be to select files not from the local computer but from the nextcloud. From my perspective to archive that I have to modify the code for import and export to use and fileselector searching the nextcloud. Perhaps here an interface would be great to add sources/targets for imports and exports for easier integration and extensibility

At the end I'm not quite shure if there are any interfaces or hooks to add additional functionality for this purpose. Therefore it would be supernice to have those questions answered to plan the implementation
