PluginTemplate

A Magnolia CLI package that provides a base PluginTemplate class for creating and handling plugins within the CLI Plugin System

Installation

Each plugin package needs to have @magnolia/cli-plugin-template as a dependency. It's recommended to use the generate-plugin command to create a new plugin

Using generate-plugin

Run the following command in an empty directory to create a new plugin:
```
npx @magnolia/cli generate-plugin
```
this command will generate new plugin's structure and install the @magnolia/cli-plugin-template automatically

Manually

Run the following command in the new plugin's root directory:
```
npm install @magnolia/cli-plugin-template
```
Ensure that your main class extends PluginTemplate and implements all of its abstract members
```
export default class <className> extends PluginTemplate {
}
```

Integration with Magnolia CLI Plugins

Every plugin in the CLI system must extend the PluginTemplate, which ensures consistent structure and functionality. The abstract class prescribes a common interface for all plugins, providing mandatory fields and functions each plugin must implement.

These include crucial information about the plugin, such as the plugin's name, version, and description, as well as fundamental operations like start(), stop(), and init() method for initializing logger passed from the MGNL CLI.
