Categorize Fastify Plugins

[luisorbaiceta]

Prerequisites

• I have written a descriptive issue title
• I have searched existing issues to ensure the feature has not already been requested

🚀 Feature Proposal

Add every registered Fastify plugin to a category (e.g. Databases, Authentication...)

Motivation

Given the increasing number of plugins (core or community) that fastify has, I think it would be a good idea to start thinking of categorizing them so Fastify users can easily discover them. Sometimes names are not as descriptive as we would like them to be and in my opinion this extra hint would offer better guidance

Example

Core

Authentication:

• auth-plugin An auth plugin.
• auth-plugin-bis Just another auth plugin.

Overengineering time: a script that fetch the package.json for each module and read the tags.
So the website will be able to filter by those (approved/filtered) tags

I think we could start by including them in our Ecosystem.md file to avoid fetching the data from every package in our current build process (It's already taking quite a while... 😬) and then add the option to filter them

I think https://github.com/fastify/pacchetto has the ecosystem plugins categorized, visit https://fastify.github.io/pacchetto/ if you would like to view the categories
