ECMAScript Plugins (ES Plugins)

ES Plugins is a standard for transforming ES Modules into standardized Web Components to simplify the process of authoring composable web applications.

The es-plugins library uses graphscript to compose plugins—as well as its DOMService class to transform plugins into Web Components.

Note: es-plugins is a core library of the Brains@Play Framework

The Specification

Each Plugin contains one default export and any number of named exports.

export let nExecutions = 0

export default function(){
    this.nExecutions++
    return this.nExecutions
}

As such, this specification treats namespace imports (which access default and named exports) as first-class citizens.

Default Exports

The default export defines the behavior of the Plugin.

Named Exports

named exports define the states of the Plugin.

However, multiple named exports without a default function may also be passed. These are transformed into individual plugins within the same graph.
