Plugin Development Quickstart
Create a custom plugin for Ever Gauzy in 10 minutes.
Prerequisites
- Node.js 20+
- Gauzy development environment set up
- Understanding of NestJS modules
Step 1: Generate Plugin Skeleton
mkdir packages/plugins/my-awesome-plugin
cd packages/plugins/my-awesome-plugin
Create the file structure:
my-awesome-plugin/
├── src/
│ ├── index.ts
│ ├── my-awesome-plugin.module.ts
│ ├── my-awesome-plugin.service.ts
│ └── my-awesome-plugin.controller.ts
├── package.json
└── tsconfig.json
Step 2: Define the Module
// src/my-awesome-plugin.module.ts
import { Module } from "@nestjs/common";
import { MyAwesomeService } from "./my-awesome-plugin.service";
import { MyAwesomeController } from "./my-awesome-plugin.controller";
@Module({
controllers: [MyAwesomeController],
providers: [MyAwesomeService],
exports: [MyAwesomeService],
})
export class MyAwesomePluginModule {}
Step 3: Create a Service
// src/my-awesome-plugin.service.ts
import { Injectable } from "@nestjs/common";
@Injectable()
export class MyAwesomeService {
getHello(): string {
return "Hello from My Awesome Plugin!";
}
}
Step 4: Add a Controller
// src/my-awesome-plugin.controller.ts
import { Controller, Get } from "@nestjs/common";
import { MyAwesomeService } from "./my-awesome-plugin.service";
@Controller("my-awesome")
export class MyAwesomeController {
constructor(private readonly service: MyAwesomeService) {}
@Get()
hello() {
return this.service.getHello();
}
}
Step 5: Register the Plugin
Add to packages/core/src/app.module.ts:
import { MyAwesomePluginModule } from "@gauzy/plugin-my-awesome";
@Module({
imports: [
// ... other modules
MyAwesomePluginModule,
],
})
export class AppModule {}
