How to use plugins?

Lets take an aside to show how to install plugins.

• Run: sern plugins, selecting plugins
• Thank the creator(s) of the plugin. (Thank you)

import { channelType } from '../plugins/channelType.js'

export default commandModule({ 
    type: CommandType.Slash,
    description: "post very nsfw stuff",
    //WE CALL THE PLUGIN IN THE PLUGINS FIELD.
    plugins: [channelType([ChannelType.GuildText], 'This cannot be used here')]
})

Keep in mind some plugins cannot run for every type of interaction sern handles. For example, the channelType plugin will probably not work in a modal, and if you are using typescript, the type checker won't allow it. However, there are some more generic plugins, one being fromCallback, which can run in any command / component.
