Plugins

Nimble will have default plugins such as form_builders, javascript helpers, link helpers. etc

but you can also define your own custom plugins to be loaded by setting the plugins_path config option

• note custom plugin names override those that come with nimble so if you want to roll your own form_helper feel free to name it form_helper

Nimble::set_config('plugins_path', '/my/full/path');

Plugins get loaded in 2 places globally in your index.php and at the controller level examples below

Global:

Nimble::load_plugins(‘form_helper’, ‘link_helper’);

Controller:

class Mycontroller extends Controller {
  public function __construct() {
    $this->load_plugins('form_helper', 'link_helper');
  }
}

Making custom plugins:

A plugin needs to have the minimum directory structure:

• custom_plugin_directory
  • my_plugin
    • init.php

init.php gets called when you call load_plugins so all your requires for that plugin need to be handled here.
