ToolJet CLI is a powerful tool that empowers developers to effortlessly create and enhance Marketplace plugins for ToolJet workspace.

:::info
Starting from ToolJet CLI version 0.0.14, the creation of datasource plugins has been deprecated to prioritize marketplace plugins. This change enhances the plugin development experience and aligns with ToolJet's roadmap.
