Development
The readable JavaScript and CSS source files are included in the src directory. Build tooling and dependency versions are documented in package.json and package-lock.json. To rebuild the production assets, run npm install and then npm run build.
External Services
Bee Notes includes optional AI actions. When enabled, the plugin sends the note content, the selected action prompt, and the administrator-provided API key to the configured provider endpoint. These requests are made only after a logged-in note editor clicks an AI action.
