The `data` field is an object containing all of the `data` generated for the plugin. Each 'data' object has a `type` and `default` property. Additionally, this should be only used for data you choose to generate. Any jsdoc (comments included in the /** */ tags) you include will be scraped as metadata if you are choosing to generate metadata. This scraped metadata will also be used to create the JsPsych documentation.
For more information on the various types of parameters one can include in their data field, see [here](./plugin-development.md#parameter-types).
### Optional methods
The extension can also include any additional methods that are necessary for interacting with it. See the [webgazer extension](../extensions/webgazer.md) for an example.

# Extensions
Extensions are jsPsych modules that can interface with any plugin to extend the functionality of the plugin. A canonical example of an extension is eye tracking. An eye tracking extension allows a plugin to gather gaze data and add it to the plugin's data object.
In jsPsych, extensions allow one to extend the functionality of various plugins, giving individual plugins the ability to collect more data, display additional stimuli, and more. A canonical example of an extension is [eye tracking](../extensions/webgazer.md), which allow plugins to gather gaze data and add it to the their respective data objects. For a full list of extensions directly included in the jsPsych release, see [here](../extensions/list-of-extensions.md).
