roarpluginapplication β€” run plugins like applications 🫢


πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

plugin [OPTIONS...]

πŸ’– DESCRIPTION πŸ’–

so here's the tea, bestie πŸ“ β€” roarpluginapplication runs roarpluginrunner in application mode, and it uses its own name as the plugin name. no cap. that's the whole trick. ✨

the way that works is: it lets a plugin get executed <em>like an application</em>, with its own binary name, and like... inside $PATH and everything. main character energy fr fr πŸ‘‘

for example β€” say you've got a plugin called myapp. the package can drop a symlink from /usr/bin/myapp over to roarpluginapplication. and then?? the user just types myapp at the command line and boom πŸ’₯ the plugin starts. literally that easy. obsessed. πŸ˜­πŸ’œ
