# Plugins

Plugins are a way to extend the functionality of your Wails application.

## Creating a plugin

Plugins are standard Go structure that adhere to the following interface:

```go
type Plugin interface {
    Name() string
    Init(*application.App) error
    Shutdown() 
    CallableByJS() []string
}
```

The `Name()` method returns the name of the plugin. This is used for logging purposes.

The `Init(*application.App) error` method is called when the plugin is loaded. The `*application.App` 
parameter is the application that the plugin is being loaded into. Any errors will prevent
the application from starting.

The `Shutdown()` method is called when the application is shutting down. 

The `CallableByJS()` method returns a list of exported functions that can be called from 
the frontend. These method names must exactly match the names of the methods exported 
by the plugin.
