Migrating API levels

When a moonlight API level increases, all extensions with a different API level will refuse to load. The current API level is 2.

As with every update to moonlight, the following apply:

  • The types package must be updated: pnpm add @moonlight-mod/types@latest
  • The version field in your manifest must be updated.
  • The apiLevel field in your manifest must be set to the latest API level.
  • If your extension is on the official repository, it must be resubmitted and reviewed.

1 -> 2

The concept of an API level was introduced with API level 2. No API level specified is implicitly assumed to be 1.

With the introduction of mappings, a lot of helper Webpack modules from the Common extension are gone, and moved into the mappings repository. Some notable examples:

  • common_flux: discord/packages/flux
  • common_fluxDispatcher: discord/Dispatcher
  • common_react: react
  • common_components: discord/components/common/index
