This tutorial will guide you through the process of creating a Gelato addon with an action that fetches random icecream flavor and trigger that fetches new icecream flavor created. It assumes that you are familiar with the following:

​
Addon Definition

To get started, let’s generate a new addon for Gelato 
npm run cli addons create
You will be asked three questions to define your new addon:
  1. Addon Name: Specify a name for your addon. This name uniquely identifies your addon within the NRAI ecosystem.
  2. Package Name: Optionally, you can enter a name for the npm package associated with your addon. If left blank, the default name will be used.
  3. Addon Type: Choose the addon type based on your intention. It can be either “custom” if it’s a tailored solution for your needs, or “community” if it’s designed to be shared and used by the broader community.
Example: 
npm run cli addons create

? Enter the addon name: gelato
? Enter the package name: @NRAI/addon-gelato
? Select the addon type: community
The addon will be generated at packages/addons/community/gelato/, the src/index.ts file should contain the following code 
import { AddonAuth, createAddon } from '@NRAI/addons-framework';

export const gelato = createAddon({
  displayName: 'Gelato',
  logoUrl: 'https://cdn.NRAI.com/addons/gelato.png',
  auth: AddonAuth.None(),
  authors: [],
  actions: [],
  triggers: [],
});
