## Introduction
`spring-boot` is the core module of the `spring` project, which includes: configuration management, plugin management, and component management.
All plugins need to implement the [`Plugin`](https://docs.rs/spring-boot/latest/spring_boot/plugin/trait.Plugin.html) feature.
## How to write your own plugin
Add dependencies
```toml
spring-boot = { version = "0.0.9" } # This crate contains the definition of plugin traits
serde = { workspace = true, features = ["derive"] } # Used to parse plugin configuration items
```
```rust
use serde::Deserialize;
use spring_boot::async_trait;
use spring_boot::config::Configurable;
use spring_boot::{app::AppBuilder, plugin::Plugin};
struct MyPlugin;
#[async_trait]
impl Plugin for MyPlugin {
async fn build(&self, app: &mut AppBuilder) {
// Call app.get_config::<Config>(self) method to get configuration items
match app.get_config::<Config>(self) {
Ok(config) => {
println!("{:#?}", config);
assert_eq!(config.a, 1);
assert_eq!(config.b, true);
// Get the configuration items to build the corresponding components
}
Err(e) => println!("{:?}", e),
}
}
}
/// Configuration item prefix
impl Configurable for MyPlugin {
fn config_prefix(&self) -> &str {
"my-plugin"
}
}
/// Plugin configuration
#[derive(Debug, Deserialize)]
struct Config {
a: u32,
b: bool,
}
```
You can use the derive macro to implement the Configurable trait:
```rust
/// Use the `config_prefix` attr macro to define the prefix configured in the toml file
#[derive(Configurable)]
#[config_prefix = "my-plugin"]
struct MyPlugin;
```
