WarpJS-Plugin

Base class for WarpJS plugins.

A plugin allows you to extend the functionality of WarpJS by adding a set of endpoints to the server.

NOTE: If you need to use @warp-works/warpjs-plugins in your library, make sure to include it in devDependencies and peerDependencies instead of dependencies.

Configuration

A plugin configuration to be added to .warp-works-warpjsrc:

{
  "name": "string",
  "moduleName": "@some/module",
  "path": "/endpoints/base/path",
  "type": "optional type",
  "auth": "value",
}

• name Name of the plugin. This is distinct from the plugin itself as it could be used multiple times.
• moduleName is the npm package that will be require().
• path is the mounting path of the application on the expressJS server.
• type is optional. You can define your own types. See a list of RESERVED_PLUGIN_TYPES that are affecting Studio and Content.
• auth is optional. You can define if auth is needed. The value can be "admin", "content", true, or false. Default value is false. When admin or content is used, the user must be logged in, and in that group. A user in admin is allowed to access content. When true, any logged in user can access it.

When defining your own type, make sure that the same API is exposed, as plugins will expect a given API when interacting with the plugin.
