Interface: ExportModule
Defined in: types.ts:82
Used to implement a module to export data from Joplin. View the demo plugin for an example.
In general, all the event handlers you'll need to implement take a context object as a first argument. This object will contain the export or import path as well as various optional properties, such as which notes or notebooks need to be exported.
To get a better sense of what it will contain it can be useful to print it using console.info(context).
