# 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
