Enhancement: Allow process plugins to be specified as non-zips
bradzacher opened this issue · comments
As we chatted about over email last week - I'm looking into building process plugins for some of our various formatters internally at Canva.
Looking into the dprint source code - it looks like it always expects that the plugin.json points at a zip file for the plugin.
Given we have a monorepo I should have all the necessary binaries available in a nearby path (eg a built .jar) or as global binaries (eg node with a local .js file for the plugin). Whilst I could definitely setup a build process to zip up the plugin - it seems like a round-about way of doing things given dprint is just going to unzip it into its local cache outside the monorepo.
I'd love it if I could just directly point the plugin.json's reference at a disk path instead.
