Plugin System

WorkIt Core includes a powerful plugin system that allows you to extend worker functionality without modifying the core code. Plugins use dependency injection for seamless integration.

Key Features

• Extensible architecture - Add custom functionality through plugins
• Dynamic loading - Enable/disable plugins at runtime
• IoC integration - Full access to the dependency injection container
• Lifecycle management - Automatic plugin loading/unloading
• Configuration support - Flexible plugin configuration

Quick Example

// Create a custom plugin
export class MyPlugin extends BasePlugin {
  public readonly moduleName = 'my-plugin';
  
  protected bind(): void {
    // Register your services in the IoC container
    this._ioc.bindTo(MyService, 'myService', new MyService());
  }
  
  protected unbind(): void {
    this._ioc.unbind('myService');
  }
}

// Configure and load plugins
const plugins: IPlugins = {
  'my-plugin': {
    enabled: true,
    path: './my-plugin'
  }
};

const pluginLoader = new PluginLoader(IoC, logger);
pluginLoader.load(plugins);
