# Plugin SDK
|
|
|
|
Go module `git.dev.alexdunmow.com/block/pluginsdk`.
|
|
|
|
**Purpose: this is the ONE plugin-facing artifact.** BlockNinja CMS plugins
|
|
import this module and nothing else from the internal Go tree. Plugins must
|
|
NOT import the first-party `core` module — core exists only for code shared
|
|
between first-party entities (cms, orchestrator, ninja CLI).
|
|
|
|
## The contract is proto, not Go
|
|
|
|
- `abi/proto/v1/*.proto` is **the contract**. The host↔guest wire is proto-only;
|
|
a plugin in ANY language generates its own bindings from these files.
|
|
- `abi/v1/` is the **Go** binding of that contract (`abiv1`). The rest of the Go
|
|
surface here — `plugin/`, `plugin/wasmguest/**`, and the guest-facing type
|
|
packages — is **one language binding** of the SDK. A non-Go plugin implements
|
|
the ABI hooks directly and never sees these Go structs.
|
|
- **The SDK ships no page chrome.** A template renders only its
|
|
`TemplateDocument`; the **host** composes the document envelope
|
|
(doctype / `<html>` / `<head>` / `<body>` + bn chrome) around it. A guest
|
|
expresses its envelope needs (title, meta, asset hooks) through
|
|
`templates.PageDocument` — never by emitting head/body markup itself.
|
|
|
|
## Critical Rules
|
|
|
|
- **NEVER use `replace` directives in go.mod** — not here, not in any consumer.
|
|
All module resolution goes through the Gitea module proxy. To test local
|
|
changes, tag and push a version.
|
|
- All consumers are in-house — **no backwards-compatibility shims**. Change the
|
|
API and update consumers.
|
|
- Regenerate Go bindings after editing any `.proto`: `make proto`.
|
|
|
|
## Design
