Plugin guide for mitosis

Plugins allow you to add features to mitosis, such as commands and extensions to the toolbox object that provides the majority of the functionality used by mitosis.

Creating a mitosis plugin is easy. Just create a repo with two folders:

commands/
extensions/

A command is a file that looks something like this:

// commands/foo.js

module.exports = {
  run: (toolbox) => {
    const { print, filesystem } = toolbox;

    const desktopDirectories = filesystem.subdirectories(`~/Desktop`);
    print.info(desktopDirectories);
  },
};

An extension lets you add additional features to the toolbox.

// extensions/bar-extension.js

module.exports = (toolbox) => {
  const { print } = toolbox;

  toolbox.bar = () => {
    print.info('Bar!');
  };
};

This is then accessible in your plugin's commands as toolbox.bar.

Loading a plugin

To load a particular plugin (which has to start with mitosis-*), install it to your project using npm install --save-dev mitosis-PLUGINNAME, and mitosis will pick it up automatically.
