rich_plugin_api/
lib.rs

1//! The plugin contract for the `rich` Rust port.
2//!
3//! A plugin implements [`Plugin`]: it describes itself with [`PluginMetadata`]
4//! and adds capabilities through a [`PluginRegistrar`]. A host (`rs-rich-ext`'s
5//! `ExtensionRegistry`) calls [`Plugin::register`], checks the result, and then
6//! makes the capabilities available to consoles and commands.
7//!
8//! This crate depends only on core `rich`, so a plugin never needs `rs-rich-ext`.
9//! Everything first-party plugins do goes through this same contract.
10//!
11//! ```
12//! use rich_plugin_api::{Plugin, PluginError, PluginMetadata, PluginRegistrar};
13//! use rich::Theme;
14//!
15//! struct Solarized;
16//!
17//! impl Plugin for Solarized {
18//!     fn metadata(&self) -> PluginMetadata {
19//!         PluginMetadata::new("solarized", "Solarized themes", "1.0.0")
20//!     }
21//!     fn register(&self, registrar: &mut dyn PluginRegistrar) -> Result<(), PluginError> {
22//!         let theme = Theme::from_styles([("repr.number", "#268bd2")], true)
23//!             .map_err(|e| PluginError::Other(e.to_string()))?;
24//!         registrar.theme("solarized", theme);
25//!         Ok(())
26//!     }
27//! }
28//! # assert_eq!(Solarized.metadata().api_version, rich_plugin_api::PLUGIN_API_VERSION);
29//! ```
30//!
31//! **Three ways to load a plugin.** A host adds a plugin value it was given
32//! (`add_plugin`). A plugin crate can also register itself for link-time
33//! collection with [`export_plugin!`], so that depending on it is enough
34//! ([`linked_plugins`]). And a plugin can be built as a native library or a
35//! WASM module and loaded at run time, through the text-only ABI in [`abi`].
36//! See docs/design/plugin-loading.md. Interactive [`component`]s are
37//! stateful Rust values, so only the first two ways carry them: the runtime
38//! ABI has no component kind.
39//!
40//! **Stability:** at 0.0.x this contract still changes. Every breaking change
41//! bumps [`PLUGIN_API_VERSION`], and hosts refuse a plugin built for another
42//! version rather than misbehaving.

44// A builder method that returns `Self` is `#[must_use]`: dropping its

63/// The version of this contract (the Rust traits) that this host implements.
64/// A host accepts a plugin only if the plugin's
65/// [`PluginMetadata::api_version`] equals it ([`is_supported_api_version`]).
66///
67/// Every breaking change to the contract bumps it. It versions compile-time
68/// plugins (added with `add_plugin` or linked with [`export_plugin!`]); a
69/// runtime plugin is versioned by the ABI instead ([`abi::ABI_MAJOR`],
70/// [`abi::ABI_MINOR`]). A marketplace listing of a Cargo crate names it as
71/// `requires.plugin_api` (see docs/design/marketplace.md).

86/// This is the check `rs-rich-ext`'s `ExtensionRegistry::add_plugin` makes,
87/// so a tool that chooses a plugin before adding it decides as the host will.
