findPlugin

The findPlugin function retrieves a plugin from Scully and returns it. It takes up to three parameters, but at least the first is required. If the first parameter is the type of the plugin (i.e. render or allDone), the second parameter needs to be the plugin name or Symbol. You can also just pass the plugin's name or symbol as the first and only parameter if you'd like.

CopyfindPlugin(pluginType | name | symbol, name | symbol, (throwOnNotFound = true));

pluginType: PluginTypes

• The plugin's type.

name: string | symbol

• The plugin's name.
• This must be unique for the type of plugin.

throwOnNotFound

• This parameter defaults to true
• Not generally needed for external use
• If you want to use optional plugins, set the parameter to false. If the plugin is not found, the function returns undefined.

Example

If you need access to a plugin somewhere to invoke the plugin, you can use the findPlugin method. The method returns an instance of the plugin that can be invoked. At that point, you will just need to pass the plugin its required parameters. For example, a render plugin generally needs a string that represents the HTML as the first parameter, and a HandledRoute as the second parameter. A router plugin takes an array of HandledRoutes.

Copyconst routerPlugin = findPlugin('myRouterPlugin');
const pluginResult = await routerPlugin(routes);

// OR

const renderPlugin = findPlugin(RenderPlugin, 'myRenderPlugin');
const pluginResult = await renderPlugin(htmlString, handledRouteData);
