Go plugins is a place for community maintained plugins.

## Overview

Micro is built as a pluggable framework using Go interfaces. Plugins enable you to swap out the underlying infrastructure without having
to rewrite all your code. This enables running the same software in multiple environments without a ton of work. Read further for more info.

## Usage

Plugins can be added to go-micro in the following ways. By doing so they'll be available to set via command line args or environment variables.

Import the plugins in a `plugins.go` file

```go
package main

import (
_ "github.com/micro/go-plugins/broker/rabbitmq/v2"
_ "github.com/micro/go-plugins/registry/kubernetes/v2"
_ "github.com/micro/go-plugins/transport/nats/v2"
)
```

Create your service and ensure you call `service.Init`

```go
package main

import (
"github.com/micro/go-micro/v2"
)

func main() {
service := micro.NewService(
// Set service name
micro.Name("my.service"),
)

// Parse CLI flags
service.Init()
}
```

Build your service

```
go build -o service ./main.go ./plugins.go
```

### Environment Variables

Use environment variables to set the

```
MICRO_BROKER=rabbitmq \
MICRO_REGISTRY=kubernetes \
MICRO_TRANSPORT=nats \
./service
```

### Flags

Or use command line flags to enable them

```shell
./service --broker=rabbitmq --registry=kubernetes --transport=nats
```

### Options

Import and set as options when creating a new service

```go
import (
"github.com/micro/go-micro/v2"
"github.com/micro/go-plugins/registry/kubernetes/v2"
)

func main() {
registry := kubernetes.NewRegistry() //a default to using env vars for master API

service := micro.NewService(
// Set service name
micro.Name("my.service"),
// Set service registry
micro.Registry(registry),
)
}
```

## Build

An anti-pattern is modifying the `main.go` file to include plugins. Best practice recommendation is to include
plugins in a separate file and rebuild with it included. This allows for automation of building plugins and
clean separation of concerns.

Create file plugins.go

```go
package main

import (
_ "github.com/micro/go-plugins/broker/rabbitmq/v2"
_ "github.com/micro/go-plugins/registry/kubernetes/v2"
_ "github.com/micro/go-plugins/transport/nats/v2"
)
```

Build with plugins.go

```shell
go build -o service main.go plugins.go
```

Run with plugins

```shell
MICRO_BROKER=rabbitmq \
MICRO_REGISTRY=kubernetes \
MICRO_TRANSPORT=nats \
service
```
