Get an overview of the used plugins

To use a new feature projects most likely need to add some plugins to their *DependencyProvider. Currently, it is not easy for projects to integrate a new feature due to the difficulties in identifying to which DependencyProvider plugin A of module B can be added to bring functionality X.

To see which Plugin can be used in which DependencyProvider we added a feature called Plugin Overview. This feature gives you several ways of displaying our plugin usages. The feature brings a console command (vendor/bin/console dev:plugin-usage:dump) and a GUI in Zed.

You can even download a CSV file with all the used plugins.

Display all used plugins

Print all used plugins by running the command without any argument or option.

This searches for all DependencyProvider plugins in the project code and all used plugins in there. The header of the table is DepenencyProvider in which the plugins are found.

$ vendor/bin/console dev:plugin-usage:dump
...
Pyz\Zed\User\UserDependencyProvider
Spryker\Zed\Acl\Communication\Plugin\GroupPlugin
Spryker\Zed\AgentGui\Communication\Plugin\UserAgentFormExpanderPlugin  
Spryker\Zed\AgentGui\Communication\Plugin\UserAgentTableConfigExpanderPlugin
Spryker\Zed\CustomerUserConnectorGui\Communication\Plugin\UserTableActionExpanderPlugin
...

Display one module

Another way of execution is to add the “module” option which can be used to shrink the list to a more readable one.

$ vendor/bin/console dev:plugin-usage:dump User

Pyz\Zed\User\UserDependencyProvider  
Spryker\Zed\Acl\Communication\Plugin\GroupPlugin
Spryker\Zed\AgentGui\Communication\Plugin\UserAgentFormExpanderPlugin
Spryker\Zed\AgentGui\Communication\Plugin\UserAgentTableConfigExpanderPlugin
Spryker\Zed\AgentGui\Communication\Plugin\UserAgentTableDataExpanderPlugin
Spryker\Zed\CustomerUserConnectorGui\Communication\Plugin\UserTableActionExpanderPlugin

Display all used plugins in applications

You can also print a list of used plugins in applications.

$ vendor/bin/console dev:plugin-usage:dump Pyz.Client.*
Pyz\Zed\User\UserDependencyProvider
Spryker\Zed\Acl\Communication\Plugin\GroupPlugin  
Spryker\Zed\AgentGui\Communication\Plugin\UserAgentFormExpanderPlugin  
Spryker\Zed\AgentGui\Communication\Plugin\UserAgentTableConfigExpanderPlugin
Spryker\Zed\AgentGui\Communication\Plugin\UserAgentTableDataExpanderPlugin
Spryker\Zed\CustomerUserConnectorGui\Communication\Plugin\UserTableActionExpanderPlugin

The module option is very powerful and can be used in many ways. You can also use a placeholder asterisk (*) in the module option elements. The module option consists of three elements: Organization, Application, and Module.
