Managing Plugins

buffalo plugins install pkg pkg pkg... buffalo plugins remove pkg pkg pkg...

Plugins can be configured via the ./config/buffalo-plugins.toml file that acts as the official list of plugins the application depends on. This is file is optional, until using the install and remove commands.

With no config file the output of buffalo plugins list and plugins.List() does not change. Once a configuration file is in place, then that file will dictate the output of those commands.

$ buffalo plugins list

To add support for the plugin manager, one can either manually edit ./config/buffalo-plugins.toml or let buffalo plugins install create it for you.

$ buffalo plugins install

go get github.com/gobuffalo/buffalo-pop
./config/buffalo-plugins.toml

$ cat ./config/buffalo-plugins.toml

[[plugin]]
  binary = "buffalo-pop"
  go_get = "github.com/gobuffalo/buffalo-pop"

$ buffalo plugins list

Bin         |Command               |Description
---         |---                   |---
buffalo-pop |buffalo db            |[DEPRECATED] please use `buffalo pop` instead.
buffalo-pop |buffalo destroy model |Destroys model files.
buffalo-pop |buffalo pop           |A tasty treat for all your database needs

The buffalo-pop plugin was automatically added because the application in this example is a Buffalo application that uses Pop.

New plugins can be install in bulk with the install command

$ buffalo plugins install github.com/markbates/buffalo-trash github.com/gobuffalo/buffalo-heroku

go get github.com/gobuffalo/buffalo-heroku
go get github.com/gobuffalo/buffalo-pop
go get github.com/markbates/buffalo-trash
./config/buffalo-plugins.toml

$ buffalo plugins list

buffalo-pop    |buffalo db            |[DEPRECATED] please use `buffalo pop` instead.

$ cat ./config/buffalo-plugins.toml

[[plugin]]
  binary = "buffalo-heroku"
  go_get = "github.com/gobuffalo/buffalo-heroku"

[[plugin]]
  binary = "buffalo-pop"
  go_get = "github.com/gobuffalo/buffalo-pop"

[[plugin]]
  binary = "buffalo-trash"
  go_get = "github.com/markbates/buffalo-trash"

Finally plugins can be removed with the remove command. This only removes them from the config file, not from the users system.

$ buffalo plugins remove github.com/gobuffalo/buffalo-heroku

./config/buffalo-plugins.toml

$ cat ./config/buffalo-plugins.toml

[[plugin]]
  binary = "buffalo-pop"
  go_get = "github.com/gobuffalo/buffalo-pop"

[[plugin]]
  binary = "buffalo-trash"
  go_get = "github.com/markbates/buffalo-trash"

$ buffalo plugins list

Listening for Plugin Setup Instructions

In Buffalo v0.13.1-beta.1 events are now emitted with the buffalo setup command. The buffalo-plugins command will listen for this event and install the necessary plugins for an application. When completed it will emit the plugins.EvtSetupFinished event. This event should be listened to by other plugins to run their setup commands.
