Problem Statement
The original C# Ivy-Framework features Ivy.Plugin.Abstractions and a dynamic plugins/ directory system for third-party extensions, custom widget registrations, and backend message handlers.
Rusty-Framework currently lacks a plugin system. Developers cannot package or load third-party extension modules dynamically into a rusty-server application.
Missing Functionality
Plugin and PluginModule trait definitions in Rust.
- Dynamic widget and custom WebSocket message handler registration mechanisms.
- Plugin lifecycle hooks (
initialize, register_widgets, register_handlers, shutdown).
- Schema validation for plugin configuration.
Proposed Architecture & Design
- Create a
rusty-plugin module (or crate) defining Plugin, PluginContext, and PluginRegistry.
- Add plugin registration methods to
rusty-server::ServerBuilder.
- Support plugin-scoped state injection and middleware registration.
- Implement an example plugin crate (
rusty-plugin-example) demonstrating custom widget and route registration.
