Laravel plugin architecture
===========================

[](#laravel-plugin-architecture)

This package provides a simple way of making your Laravel application modular. It implments a simple plugin architecture that allows you to create plugins and register them in a shared repository.

You can then use feature detection through interfaces or traits to registered plugins.

The plugins are an abstraction around Laravel's service providers, so you can use all the features of service providers in your plugins.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

You can install the package via composer:

```
composer require apility/plugins
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Creating a plugin

[](#creating-a-plugin)

To create a plugin, you need to create a class that implements the `Apility\Plugins\Contracts\Plugin` interface.

The simplest way to do this is to extend from the abstract `Apility\Plugins\Plugin` class.

```
use Apility\Plugins\Plugin;

class MyPlugin extends Plugin
{
    public function register()
    {
        // Here you can perform any registration that
        // you would normally do in a service provider.
    }
}
```

### Registering a plugin

[](#registering-a-plugin)

To register a plugin, you need to register them in the plugin repository.

The plugin repository is a singleton that implements the `Apility\Plugins\Contracts\PluginRepository` interface.

The recommended way to interface with the repository is through the `Apility\Plugins\Facades\Plugin` facade.

```
use Apility\Plugins\Facades\Plugin;

Plugin::register(MyPlugin::class);
```

### Using a plugin

[](#using-a-plugin)

The main purpose of this package is to allow you to use plugins in your application through feature detection.

You can use the `Apility\Plugins\Facades\Plugin` facade to resolve plugins based on features (interfaces or traits).

```
use Apility\Plugins\Facades\Plugin;
use Apility\Plugins\Plugin as BasePlugin;

interface MyFeature
{
    public function doSomething();
}

class MyPlugin extends BasePlugin implements MyFeature
{
    public function doSomething()
    {
        return 'Hello world!';
    }
}

$plugins = Plugin::all(MyFeature::class);

foreach ($plugins as $plugin) {
    /** @var MyFeature $plugin */
    echo $plugin->doSomething();
}
```

#### Other ways of using plugins

[](#other-ways-of-using-plugins)

```
use Apility\Plugins\Facades\Plugin;

// Get the number of registered plugins
$pluginCount = Plugin::count();

// Get the number of registered plugins by type
$pluginCount = Plugin::count(MyPlugin::class);

// Check if a plugin is registered
$pluginRegistered = Plugin::has(MyPlugin::class);

// Get all plugins
$plugins = Plugin::all();

// Get all plugins by type
$plugins = Plugin::all(MyPlugin::class);

// Get the first registered plugin
$plugin = Plugin::first();

// Get a plugin by type
$plugin = Plugin::first(MyPlugin::class);
```

Generating a plugin
-------------------

[](#generating-a-plugin)

You can use the `make:plugin` command to generate a plugin.

```
php artisan make:plugin MyPlugin
```

### Generating a plugin with Policy

[](#generating-a-plugin-with-policy)

You can use the `--policy` option to generate a plugin with a corresponsing policy.

```
php artisan make:plugin MyPlugin --policy
```
