# Description
<!--
Thank you for improving Nushell. Please, check our [contributing

The derive macros provided by #13031 are very useful for plugin authors.
In this PR I made use of these macros for two commands.

# User-Facing Changes
<!-- List of all changes that impact the user experience here. This
helps us keep track of breaking changes. -->

# Tests + Formatting
<!--
Don't forget to add tests that cover your changes.

Make sure you've run and fixed any issues with these commands:

- `cargo fmt --all -- --check` to check standard code formatting (`cargo
fmt --all` applies these changes)
- `cargo clippy --workspace -- -D warnings -D clippy::unwrap_used` to
check that you're using the standard code style
- `cargo test --workspace` to check that all tests pass (on Windows make
sure to [enable developer
mode](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/get-started/developer-mode-features-and-debugging))
- `cargo run -- -c "use toolkit.nu; toolkit test stdlib"` to run the
tests for the standard library

> **Note**
> from `nushell` you can also use the `toolkit` as follows
> ```bash
> use toolkit.nu # or use an `env_change` hook to activate it
automatically
> toolkit check pr
> ```

- 🟢 `toolkit fmt`

<!-- If your PR had any user-facing changes, update [the

This Example usage could be highlighted in the changelog for plugin
authors as this is probably very useful for them.

Merge stream_example into example plugin and clean up names (#12234)
# Description

As suggested by @WindSoilder, since plugins can now contain both simple
commands that produce `Value` and commands that produce `PipelineData`
without having to choose one or the other for the whole plugin, this
change merges `stream_example` into `example`.

# User-Facing Changes

All of the example plugins are renamed.

# Tests + Formatting

- 🟢 `toolkit fmt`
- 🟢 `toolkit clippy`
- 🟢 `toolkit test`
- 🟢 `toolkit test stdlib`

# After Submitting

- [ ] Check nushell/nushell.github.io for any docs that match the
command names changed

Allow plugins to receive configuration from the nushell configuration (#10955)
# Description

When nushell calls a plugin it now sends a configuration `Value` from
the nushell config under `$env.config.plugins.PLUGIN_SHORT_NAME`. This
allows plugin authors to read configuration provided by plugin users.

The `PLUGIN_SHORT_NAME` must match the registered filename after
`nu_plugin_`. If you register `target/debug/nu_plugin_config` the
`PLUGIN_NAME` will be `config` and the nushell config will loook like:

        $env.config = {
          # ...
          plugins: {
            config: [
              some
              values
            ]
          }
        }

Configuration may also use a closure which allows passing values from
`$env` to a plugin:

        $env.config = {
          # ...
          plugins: {
            config: {||
              $env.some_value
            }
          }
        }

This is a breaking change for the plugin API as the `Plugin::run()`
function now accepts a new configuration argument which is an
`&Option<Value>`. If no configuration was supplied the value is `None`.

Plugins compiled after this change should work with older nushell, and
will behave as if the configuration was not set.

Initially discussed in #10867

# User-Facing Changes

* Plugins can read configuration data stored in `$env.config.plugins`
* The plugin `CallInfo` now includes a `config` entry, existing plugins
will require updates

# Tests + Formatting

- 🟢 `toolkit fmt`
- 🟢 `toolkit clippy`
- 🟢 `toolkit test`
- 🟢 `toolkit test stdlib`
