#### Build a Plugin
A Flaschengeist-Frontend-Plugin should be placed in `src/plugins`.
It needs a `plugin.ts` File which exports a plugin with the following interface:
Create a new node.js project and add `@flaschengeist/api` as a peer dependency (e.g. `yarn add --peer '@flaschengeist/api'`).
If your plugin depends on an other plugin (e.g. you use the `@flaschengeist/users` plugin / stores),
then you have to add that plugin as a peer dependency too.
```
name: string;
mainRoutes?: PluginRouteConfig[];
outRoutes?: PluginRouteConfig[];
requiredModules: string[];
version: string;
You need to define a main entry point for your plugin (e.g. `"main": "src/index.ts"` in your `package.json`) which exportes
a plugin descriptor as the default export (see `@flaschengeist/types` -> `FG_Plugin.Plugin`).
E.g.
```ts
import { FG_Plugin } from '@flaschengeist/types';
import { routes } from './routes';
const plugin: FG_Plugin.Plugin = {
id: 'com.example.myplugin',
name: 'myplugin',
innerRoutes: routes,
// This are required backend plugins:
requiredModules: [['auth'], ['users'], ['roles']],
version: '0.0.1',
widgets: [
{
priority: 1,
name: 'greeting',
permissions: [],
widget: defineAsyncComponent(() => import('./components/Widget.vue')),
},
],
};
export default plugin;
```
You have to import `FG_Plugin` from `plugins.d.ts`.
This will add a plugin providing a widget for the dashboard side and some routes.
