Plugins


Introduction


There is a robust ecosystem of Actionhero plugins which you can use to leverage the community's expertise in your applications.

To use an Actionhero plugin you usually npm install name-of-plugin and then reference is in your ./config/plugins.js file to load it into your application.

// If you want to use plugins in your application, include them here:
return {
  'myPlugin': { path: __dirname + '/../node_modules/myPlugin' }
}

// You can also toggle on or off sections of a plugin to include (default true for all sections):
return {
  'myPlugin': {
    path: __dirname + '/../node_modules/myPlugin',
    actions: true,
    tasks: true,
    initializers: true,
    servers: true,
    cli: true,
    public: true
  }
}

You can learn more about plugins in the Actionhero documentation.
