PluginTemplate: Hello, World!

This folder is a starter template for building OpenVCS plugins.

It includes a single WASI/Rust module (src/main.rs) that prints a message when the plugin starts.

Build (.ovcsp)

From PluginTemplate/, run:

cargo openvcs dist

This bundles the plugin into dist/*.ovcsp.

If cargo openvcs is not installed, you can run the SDK packager directly:

cargo run --manifest-path ../OpenVCS-SDK/Cargo.toml --bin openvcs-plugin -- --plugin-dir PluginTemplate --out PluginTemplate/dist

Notes:

• These plugins build for wasm32-wasip1. If needed: rustup target add wasm32-wasip1.

What it does

• When enabled/loaded, it logs one line:
  • Hello, World from PluginTemplate!

Files

• openvcs.plugin.json: Plugin manifest (id + module exec).
• Cargo.toml, src/main.rs: Rust/WASI module executable.

Customizing for your own plugin

1. Pick a new plugin id (example: com.yourname.my-plugin).
2. Update these in sync:

• PluginTemplate/openvcs.plugin.json (id, and any file names you change)
• PluginTemplate/src/main.rs (the startup message and any method names you add)

3. If you rename the module executable, update:

• PluginTemplate/openvcs.plugin.json → module.exec
• PluginTemplate/Cargo.toml → [[bin]].name
