Implementations

impl FileExtLoader

pub async fn new() -> Result<FileExtLoader, Report>

Create a new FileExtLoader with an empty set of plugins.

pub fn load_statically_linked_plugin<T>(&mut self)

where T: FileExtPlugin + 'static,

Load a statically linked plugin by calling the new method of the plugin. This function is not async, so it will not await for the plugin to be loaded. It will spawn a new task to load the plugin and return immediately.

Before using any loaded plugin, the FileExtLoader::finish method must be called to await for all the plugins to be loaded and return them.

pub fn load_dynamically_linked_plugin(&mut self, path: PathBuf)

Load a dynamically linked plugin by calling the new method of the plugin. This function is not async, so it will not await for the plugin to be loaded. It will spawn a new task to load the plugin and return immediately.

Before using any loaded plugin, the FileExtLoader::finish method must be called to await for all the plugins to be loaded and return them.

pub async fn finish( self, ) -> Result<HashMap<String, Arc<RuntimeFileExt>>, Report>

Finish loading all the plugins. This function will await for all the plugins to be loaded and return them.
