# nu-cmd-plugin

This crate implements Nushell commands related to plugin management.
Overhaul the plugin cache file with a new msgpack+brotli format (#12579) # Description - Plugin signatures are now saved to `plugin.msgpackz`, which is brotli-compressed MessagePack. - The file is updated incrementally, rather than writing all plugin commands in the engine every time. - The file always contains the result of the `Signature` call to the plugin, even if commands were removed. - Invalid data for a particular plugin just causes an error to be reported, but the rest of the plugins can still be parsed # User-Facing Changes - The plugin file has a different filename, and it's not a nushell script. - The default `plugin.nu` file will be automatically migrated the first time, but not other plugin config files. - We don't currently provide any utilities that could help edit this file, beyond `plugin add` and `plugin rm` - `from msgpackz`, `to msgpackz` could also help - New commands: `plugin add`, `plugin rm` # Tests + Formatting Tests added for the format and for the invalid handling. - :green_circle: `toolkit fmt` - :green_circle: `toolkit clippy` - :green_circle: `toolkit test` - :green_circle: `toolkit test stdlib` # After Submitting - [ ] Check for documentation changes - [ ] Definitely needs release notes 2024-04-21 12:36:26 +00:00			`# nu-cmd-plugin`
