# Plugins
:::tip
TLDR: Plugins help reduce code repetition and are installable via `sern plugins`. Put them onto the plugins field of a command/event module.
:::
## Installing
Chances are, you just want your bot to work. Plugins can preprocess and create reusable conditions for modules.
run:
```sh
sern plugins
```
- Install your favorite(s) (or the ones that look the coolest). In my imaginary mind, I installed the ownerOnly plugin.
- This should install in `plugins` directory in `src`.
- Some plugins only work with specific types. Most are targeted towards slash / both modules.
- Add to your module.
```ts
import { commandModule, CommandType } from '@sern/handler'
import { ownerOnly } from '../plugins'
export default commandModule({
type: CommandType.Both,
plugins: [ownerOnly(['182326315813306368')],
description: 'ping command',
execute: (ctx) => {
ctx.reply('hello, owner');
}
})
```
#### ┗|O|┛ perfect, your first plugin!
## Creating your own plugins
The controller determines in plugins whether to continue or fail.
### The controller object
```typescript
export interface Controller {
next: () => Ok<void>;
stop: () => Err<void>;
}
```
## Init Plugins
Init plugins modify how commands are loaded or do preprocessing.
An instance of the above object is passed into every plugin. <br />
This controls whether a module is stored into sern. <br />
```typescript
import { CommandInitPlugin } from '@sern/handler'
import path from 'path'
export const inDir = (dir: string) => {
return CommandInitPlugin(({ module, absPath }) => {
if(path.dirname(absPath) !== dir) {
console.log(+new Date(), `${module.name} is not in the correct directory!`);
return controller.stop()
}
console.log(+new Date(), `${module.name} is in the correct directory!`);
return controller.next(); //continue
});
}
```
Above, this simple plugin logs that the module has been loaded along with a timestamp. <br />
## Event Plugins
![control-plugins](../../../static/img/eventplugins.drawio.svg) <br />
- An event is emitted by discord.js.
- This event is passed to all plugins (**in order!!**),
- If all are successful,
The command is executed. Calling `controller.stop()` notifies sern that this command should not be run,
and command is ignored.
Can you predict the behavior of this command?
- Before loading into sern, this command module will check if this module is in the correct directory `other`.
- Before an event occurs, this command module will check if the user has the id `182326315813306368`.
:::tip
Event Plugins are good for filtering, preconditions, parsing.
:::
If all plugins return `controller.next()`, this command replies `Pong 🏓`
