Extension APIs
Note: Extension APIs (
extension-*) require the corresponding extension to be added as a dependency ingame.project. To learn how to install and configure a specific extension, use thedefold-docs-fetchskill to look up its documentation page.
C++ Native Extension APIs
Usage
When you need API documentation:
- Identify the namespace (e.g.,
go,gui,vmath) - Fetch the corresponding URL (all URLs are plain Markdown — fetch and read the raw content)
- Example: fetch
