Inconsistent plugin load order

[jlines]

I am loading my manifest using glue. The plugins section of manifest looks like this

plugins: {
'hapi-auth-jwt':{},
'./server/api/index': {}
}

My api/index calls
server.auth.strategy('token', 'jwt' ....

This call fails sometimes with the message
Authentication strategy token uses unknown scheme: jwt

It seems that the load order of the plugins are not guaranteed which is causing my problem. Is there a recommended way to address this problem?

JSON keys order have never been deterministic, use dependencies for that.

If the manifest's 'plugins' field learned to expect an array, plugin load order could be made deterministic. However, if you are writing a plugin with a known dependency, then using the Server.after() and Server.dependency() support is certainly the proper approach, such that users of your plugin do not need to concern themselves with load order.
