Node.js VM: Developing an External Plugin System Within Your Web App | Douglas Gubert
In this talk, we'll use Rocket.Chat's open source apps-engine as an example of how to use a VM module native to the platform, and how to create the core of an external plugin system on top of Node.js virtual machine.
This talk was given at Codementor Event’s annual developer conference, and it covers:
Why external plugins?
Environment requirements for the system
The Node.JS virtual machine Module
The structure of a plugin
Interacting with a plugin
When Douglas is not coding and worrying about developer experience and code semantics, he is studying languages or playing video-games with his kid.
