I’m currently trying to make a plugin (`discourse-citestore`) that has the feature of storing data with a handle and a subhandle (locus), so that this data can be automatically accessed by users and pasted in their messages. For example, the plugin would take `[us-constitution 1]` and replace it with the first paragraph of the Constitution (which would be saved in the database). Here’s the repo: [https://github.com/jsilvanus/discourse-citestore](https://github.com/jsilvanus/discourse-citestore) I’ve gotten some way by simply reading other plugins and trying to adapt what is written in other places into my own needs. But right now I don’t know how to proceed… As you can see, I have some functions in `plugin.rb` that deal with the storage creation and data insertion and retrieval. Example: > However, I have no idea on how to access the functions I have set up in that file from the discourse-markdown file `citestore.js.es6`. If someone could give me a few pointers, I would appreciate it immensely! P.s. it may well be that my coding skillz are way too low for the project I have undertaken. I only hope that is not the case… --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/citestore-plugin/51620)._
