This is the documentation for the Go github.com/mattermost/mattermost/server/public/plugin package. It can also be found on GoDoc.
Visit the Plugins section to learn more about developing Mattermost plugins and our recommended developer workflow for Mattermost plugins.
The plugin package is used by Mattermost server plugins written in go. It also enables the Mattermost server to manage and interact with the running plugin environment.
Note that this package exports a large number of types prefixed with Z_. These are public only to allow their use with Hashicorp's go-plugin (and net/rpc). Do not use these directly.
The API can be used to retrieve data or perform actions on behalf of the plugin. Most methods have direct counterparts in the REST API and very similar behavior.
Plugins obtain access to the API by embedding MattermostPlugin and accessing the API member directly.
Hooks describes the methods a plugin may implement to automatically receive the corresponding event.
A plugin only need implement the hooks it cares about. The MattermostPlugin provides some default implementations for convenience but may be overridden.
LoadPluginConfiguration(dest any) errorLoadPluginConfiguration loads the plugin's configuration. dest should be a pointer to a struct that the configuration JSON can be unmarshalled to.
