Hi,

It would be very nice to be able to define one or many plugins locations instead of relaying on a single default one.

I'd like for instance to be able to load plugins to populate toolboxes, file handers etc... when needed only.

Thanks!

hello i am finding strange that I am forced to name my plugins at least following the example:

<name of the app>-<name of the plugin>

if is not like that i get the next crash:

am i doing something worng? is there a gracefulier way to treat the failure of plugin loading?

so i have my use case where i need to call some functions common to my modules during execution. I am finding that this seems not actually possible as in the callback the return values are a list of the 'dependencies'.

function loadPlugin(context, results, callback) {
    var modules = []
    var dependencies = []
    try {
            ...
            var Plugin = require(file)
            var mod = new Plugin(context.appContext)
            modules.push(mod)
            dependencies.push(depName)
        }
    } catch (err) {
        return callback(err)
    }

    callback(null, dependencies)
}

is there any why the modules collection should not be returned in the callback?

If the loading file (index.js) is not at the same level than the package.json, you get the next error:

{ [Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/home/knek/code/koteky/src/package.json']
  errno: -2,
  code: 'ENOENT',
  syscall: 'open',
  path: '/home/knek/code/koteky/src/package.json' }

Hi i using the latest version of this plugin.
I included plugins part in my package.json of my app
But when i launch my app i have this error:
Uncaught TypeError: fs.readFile is not a function

Can you help me?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I would like allow users to add guest plugins to my app.
Is it secure to Javascript app core code? - it should be private.
