@webiny/plugins

@webiny/plugins

A simple registry that stores all plugins in a shared object. The only requirement for a plugin is to have a name and a type properties. The rest is entirely up to you.

There is nothing spectacular going on under the hood, just a simple object for storing references and a few utility functions.

For more information, please visit the official docs.

Install

npm install --save @webiny/plugins

Or if you prefer yarn:

yarn add @webiny/plugins

plugins.register({
    name: "my-second-plugin",

    salute: () => "Yo!"
});
