Sveltekit plugin system

Load plugins and inject code or component into custom location in your sveltekit project.

Getting started

Install package

npm i -D sveltekit-plugin-system

Load plugins

Client-side

In +layout.svelte for client-side usage:

<script lang="ts">
    import { loadPlugins } from 'sveltekit-plugin-system';
    loadPlugins({
        plugins: import.meta.glob('../../**/plugins/**/index.(ts|js)', { eager: true })
    });
</script>

<slot />

Server-side

In hooks.server.ts for server-side usage:

import type { Handle } from '@sveltejs/kit';
import { loadPlugins } from 'sveltekit-plugin-system';

export const handle: Handle = async ({ resolve, event }) => {
    loadPlugins({
        plugins: import.meta.glob('../../**/plugins/**/index.(ts|js)', { eager: true })
    });
	return await resolve(event);
};

You need to re-build your project to make it works if you add or remove a server-side hook in your plugin(s).

Insert a component

Add hook location

The hook location is the target location where the component or code will be injected from plugins.

For this example, in +layout.svelte, we are adding the Hook component, with a location named after-content.

Placed after <slot />, the plugins can now inject components after the slot content.

<script lang="ts">
    import { loadPlugins, Hook } from "sveltekit-plugin-system";

    loadPlugins({
        plugins: import.meta.glob('../../**/plugins/**/index.(ts|js)', { eager: true })
    });
</script>

<slot />

<Hook location="after-content" /> <!-- Add hook location here -->

Create a plugin

Plugins are simple folders containing an index.ts file that exports a function with hooks store as an argument.

We can inject a component in the after-content location from the plugin :

In src/plugins/plugin-example/index.ts:

import type { Plugins } from 'sveltekit-plugin-system';
import ComponentExample from './ComponentExample.svelte';

export default (hooks: Plugins.HookCreateStore) => {
	hooks.addComponent('after-content', ComponentExample);
};

Insert an action

Actions are function that will be executed at the given location.

For example, let's log something from our plugin :

In our +layout.svelte file, we will add the doAction function from hooks store, and name the hook location log-something :

<script lang="ts">
    import { loadPlugins, hooks } from "sveltekit-plugin-system";

    loadPlugins({
        plugins: import.meta.glob('../../**/plugins/**/index.(ts|js)', { eager: true })
    });

    $: hooks.doAction('log-something') // Action hook
</script>

<slot />

In our plugin, we can now use the doAction function from hooks store :

src/plugins/plugin-example/index.ts:

import type { Plugins } from 'sveltekit-plugin-system';

export default (hooks: Plugins.HookCreateStore) => {
	// Add an action to `log-something` location.
	hooks.addAction('log-something', () => {
		console.log('This log message comes from a plugin!');
	});
};

Now, on each page of your project, you will see the log message in the console: This log message comes from a plugin!

Add a filter

Filters are functions that take an argument and return something.

It's useful to update a variable and return the updated variable.

For example, we will add a key: value to event.locals from a plugin:

In our project, we can add the server-side sveltekit hook : hooks.server.ts, initialize the locals variable to an empty object, and make it filterable from plugins.

In hooks.server.ts:

import type { Handle } from '@sveltejs/kit';
import { loadPlugins, hooks } from 'sveltekit-plugin-system';

export const handle: Handle = async ({ resolve, event }) => {
	// Load plugins server-side
    loadPlugins({
        plugins: import.meta.glob('../../**/plugins/**/index.(ts|js)', { eager: true })
    });

    event.locals = {}; // Init locals as an empty object
    
    // Filter event.locals from plugins
    event.locals = hooks.applyFilter('server-locals', event.locals);
    
    // Add console.log to check the updated locals in the console
    if (Object.keys(event.locals).length > 0) {
        console.log('> A plugin is filtering event.locals :');
        console.log('> event.locals =', event.locals);
    }
    
    return await resolve(event);
};

In our plugin :

import type { Plugins } from 'sveltekit-plugin-system';

export default (hooks: Plugins.HookCreateStore) => {
    // Filter event.locals
    hooks.addFilter('server-locals', (locals: { [key: string]: string }) => {
        locals.test = 'ok';
        return locals;
    });
};

Now, re-build your project, and start it, you will see the following logs in your server-side console :

> A plugin is filtering event.locals :
> event.locals = { test: 'ok' }

Tailwind compatibility

ChatGPT

You can use Tailwind in your plugin's components, but Tailwind needs to know their location in order to analyze them.

In tailwind.config.js:

export default {
	content: [
		'./src/**/*.{html,js,svelte,ts}',
		'./plugins/**/*.{html,js,svelte,ts}' // Specify your plugins path here
	]
};
