plugins

Plugins #
A simple plugin loading system.
A plugin system allows you to extend functionality of your system. Other
developers can hook into your APIs through the plugins library and interact
with each other at ease.
Example #
Initializing the loader is very simple
import 'package:plugins/loader.dart';

void main() {
PluginManager pm = new PluginManager();
Directory path = new Directory("plugins");
pm.loadAll(path).then((_) {
pm.listenAll((name, data) {
print("Received data from plugin '$name': ${data[0]}");
pm.killAll();
});
Map m = new Map();
m[0] = "Hello from loader!";
pm.sendAll(m);
});
}

The plugins folder will look something like:
.
+-- test
| +-- main.dart
| +-- pubspec.yaml
| +-- lib/
| +-- packages/
copied to clipboard
Your lib folder can contain more code as needed for functionality. Dependencies
will work the same as usual for plugins. The pubspec.yaml file must contain, at
a minimum, the name.
Creating a plugin for a loader is just as simple as creating a loader.
import 'package:plugins/plugin.dart';
import 'dart:isolate';

void main(List<String> args, SendPort port) {
Receiver rec = new Receiver(port);
rec.listen((Map<dynamic, dynamic> data) {
print("Received data in plugin: ${data[0]}");

Map info = new Map();
info[0] = "Hello from plugin!";
rec.send(info);
});
}
