This is a simple example plugin for the Genie Framework. You can use it as a sample for developing Genie plugins or to try plugins installation in your Genie apps.
Add the HelloPlugin package to your Genie app, just like any other Julia Pkg dependency:
pkg> add https://github.com/GenieFramework/HelloPlugin.jlBring the package into scope:
julia> using HelloPluginInstall the plugin (this is a one time operation, when the package is added):
julia> HelloPlugin.install(@__DIR__)Make sure you run this in the Genie app REPL or that you are in a Julia session in the app's root dir. Otherwise pass the app's root dir as the argument for install(dest::String).
The installation will add a new hello resource in app/resources/hello/ in the form of HelloController.jl and views/greet.jl.html. Also, in your Genie app's plugins/ folder you fill find a new file, helloplugin.jl (which is the plugins' initializer and is automatically loaded by Genie early in the bootstrap process).
The helloplugin.jl initializer is defining a new route route("/hello", HelloController.greet). If you restart your Genie app and navigate to /hello you will get the plugin's greeting.
