Class Plugin<T>

Introduction

Plugins are the fundamental building blocks of SerenityJS. They are used to add additional functionality to the server, which allows total control over the server.

There are 2 types of plugins that are defined in the PluginType enum: Addon & Api

Addon plugins add additional functionality to the server, without an exposed API. This means external plugins cannot directly interact with the plugins API. Api plugins add additional functionality to the server, with an exposed API for other plugins to use. This means external plugins can directly interact with the plugins API.

Class Extending Plugin

import { Plugin, PluginType, PluginEvents } from "@serenityjs/plugins";

class SamplePlugin extends Plugin {
  public readonly type = PluginType.Addon;

  public constructor() {
    super("sample-plugin", "1.0.0");
  }

  public onInitialize(): void {}

  public onStartUp(): void {}

  public onShutDown(): void {}
}

export default new SamplePlugin();
