Express Tool Core

The core package for express-tool provides the foundational architecture and plugin system interfaces for building modular Express.js applications. It defines the Plugin and PluginContext types that all other plugins in the express-tool ecosystem adhere to.

Installation

This package is typically used internally by @express-tool/cli and other plugins, but can be installed manually:

npm install @express-tool/core

Features

• Plugin Interface Definition: Standardizes how plugins are structured (dependencies, devDependencies, files, env vars, etc.).
• Common Types: Shared TypeScript types for context passing.

Usage

If you are developing a custom plugin for express-tool:

import { Plugin, PluginContext } from '@express-tool/core';

export const myPlugin: Plugin = {
  name: 'my-custom-plugin',
  apply: async (context: PluginContext) => {
    return {
      dependencies: {
        'some-package': 'latest',
      },
      files: [
        {
          path: 'src/utils/myUtil.ts',
          content: 'export const ...',
        },
      ],
    };
  },
};
