And has a architecture stack like this.

package.json

Basic Sample

{
    "name": "your-package-name",
    "version": "0.1.0",
    ...
    "dependencies": {
        "orbital": "^0.1.0"
    },
    "orbital": {
        "activator": "./src/Activator.js",
        "contributable": {
            "services": [],
            "extensions": []
        },
        "contributes": {
            "services": [],
            "extensions": []
        }
    }
}

activator

Activator is optional. It is called on start and stop phases. Activator is an entry point to make your plugin do something. onStart() and onStop() method is called with / object, which enables you to access extensions, services and other plugins.
```
  
class Activator {

    onStart(context) {
        //do some on plugin start
    }

    onStop(context) {
        //do some on plugin end
    }
}

export default Activator;
```

Real example

import {getSettingsFragment} from './extensions/settingsContents';

class Activator {

    constructor() {
        super();
        this.stateListener = this.handlePluginStateChange.bind(this);
    }

    onStart(context) {
        this.context = context;
        context.getPlugins().forEach((plugin) => {
            plugin.on('stateChange', this.stateListener);
        });
    }

    onStop(context) {
        context.getPlugins().forEach((plugin) => {
            plugin.off('stateChange', this.stateListener);
        });
    }

    handlePluginStateChange(/* who, state, oldState */) {
        this.refresh();
    }

    refresh() {
        const settingsPane = document.querySelector('#settingsPane');
        if (settingsPane) {
            const newSettingsPane = getSettingsFragment(this.context);
            settingsPane.parentNode.replaceChild(newSettingsPane, settingsPane);
        }
    }
}

export default Activator;

contributable

Receives contributions from other plugins. contributable is a kind of interface.

contributable extensions

An extension point is an object where other plugins can contribute extensions to.

contributable extensions field requires three fields id, desc, spec.

id (mandatory) : The extension point id which should be unique.
desc (optional) : The explanation for the extension point.
spec (mandatory) : The interface which should be implemented by contributor plugins.

The following example shows three extension points. examples.shop.layout:contents, examples.shop.layout:aside and examples.shop.layout:header

{
    "name": "examples.shop.layout",
    "version": "0.1.0",
    "description": "This package provides a layout for shop app",
    "orbital": {
        "activator": "./src/Activator.js",
        "contributable": {
            "services": [],
            "extensions": [
                {
                    "id": "examples.shop.layout:contents",
                    "desc": "You can contribute ui(s) to the contents area.",
                    "spec": {
                        "path": "string",
                        "getElement": "function"
                    }
                },
                {
                    "id": "examples.shop.layout:aside",
                    "desc": "You can contribute ui(s) to the aside area.",
                    "spec": {
                        "getView": "function"
                    }
                },
                {
                    "id": "examples.shop.layout:header",
                    "desc": "You can contribute ui(s) to the header area.",
                    "spec": {
                        "getView": "function"
                    }
                }
            ]
        },
        "contributes": {
            "services": [],
            "extensions": []
        }
    }
}

contributable services

A service point is an interface which should be implemented by other plugins.

contributable services field requires three fields id, desc, spec.

id (mandatory) : The service point id which should be unique.
desc (optional) : The explanation for the service point.
spec (mandatory) : The interface which should be implemented by contributor plugins.

Following example shows contributable service examples.shop.resources:api

{
    "name": "examples.shop.resources",
    "version": "0.1.0",
    "description": "This package serves resources(Rest API, Images) for shop app",
    "dependencies": {
    },
    "orbital": {
        "contributable": {
            "services": [
                {
                    "id": "examples.shop.resources:api",
                    "desc": "This spec provides rest api for shop",
                    "spec": {
                        "deleteFromCart": "function",
                        "getAccount": "function",
                        "getCart": "function",
                        "getProductById": "function",
                        "getProductCategories": "function",
                        "getProducts": "function",
                        "postToCart": "function",
                        "postLogin": "function",
                        "postLogout": "function"
                    }
                }
            ],
            "extensions": []
        },
        "contributes": {
            "services": [
                {
                    "id": "examples.shop.resources:api",
                    "realize": "./src/services/RestApi.js"
                }
            ],
            "extensions": []
        }
    }
}

contributes

Using contributes field, plugins can contribute to the contributable services and extensions.

contributes extensions

Following example implements two extensions. examples.shop.layout:contents and examples.shop.layout:aside of examples.shop.layout plugin package.

{
    "name": "examples.shop.products",
    "version": "0.1.0",
    "description": "Products package for shop app",
    "dependencies": {
        "examples.shop.layout": "file:../examples.shop.layout",
        "orbital.js": "^0.1.2"
    },
    "orbital": {
        "activator": "./src/Activator.js",
        "contributable": {
            "services": [],
            "extensions": []
        },
        "contributes": {
            "services": [],
            "extensions": [
                {
                    "id": "examples.shop.layout:contents",
                    "realize": "./src/extensions/contents.js"
                },
                {
                    "id": "examples.shop.layout:aside",
                    "realize": "./src/extensions/aside.js",
                    "priority": 100
                }
            ]
        }
    }
}

contributes services

Following example implements examples.shop.resources:api contributable service itself. Plugin can implement it's own contributables.

{
    "name": "examples.shop.resources",
    "version": "0.1.0",
    "description": "This package serves resources(Rest API, Images) for shop app",
    "dependencies": {
    },
    "orbital": {
        "contributable": {
            "services": [
                {
                    "id": "examples.shop.resources:api",
                    "desc": "This spec provides rest api for shop",
                    "spec": {
                        "deleteFromCart": "function",
                        "getAccount": "function",
                        "getCart": "function",
                        "getProductById": "function",
                        "getProductCategories": "function",
                        "getProducts": "function",
                        "postToCart": "function",
                        "postLogin": "function",
                        "postLogout": "function"
                    }
                }
            ],
            "extensions": []
        },
        "contributes": {
            "services": [
                {
                    "id": "examples.shop.resources:api",
                    "realize": "./src/services/RestApi.js"
                }
            ],
            "extensions": []
        }
    }
}

priority

Using priority, you can control the orders of plugin contributions. For example, the order of ui components contributions, or service priority.

Following two examples show priority 100 and 200. Extensions are sorted with higher priority value. Default priority is 0.

{
    "name": "examples.shop.products",
    "version": "0.1.0",
    "description": "Products package for shop app",
    "dependencies": {
        "examples.shop.layout": "file:../examples.shop.layout",
        "orbital.js": "^0.1.2"
    },
    "orbital": {
        "activator": "./src/Activator.js",
        "contributable": {
            "services": [],
            "extensions": []
        },

            "services": [],
            "extensions": [{
                "id": "examples.shop.layout:header",
                "realize": "./src/extensions/header.js",

    },
    "orbital": {
        "contributable": {
            "services": [],
            "extensions": []
        },
        "contributes": {
            "services": [],
            "extensions": [
                {
                    "id": "examples.shop.layout:header",
                    "realize": "./src/extensions/header.js",
                    "priority": 200
