The "plugin.cfc" File

If this file exists, Mura will attempt to invoke specific methods during various phases of the plugin deployment, update, and/or deletion lifecycles. This allows developers to do things such as create custom database tables, connect to your custom API for authentication, and more.

The example code below illustrates a basic plugin.cfc file.

component extends='mura.plugin.plugincfc' output=false {
    // pluginConfig is automatically available as variables.pluginConfig
    public void function install() {
        // Do custom installation stuff
    }
    public void function update() {
        // Do custom update stuff
    }
    public void function delete() {
        // Do custom delete stuff
    }
    public void function toBundle(pluginConfig, bundle, siteid) output=false {
        // Do custom toBundle stuff
    }
    public void function fromBundle(bundle, keyFactory, siteid) output=false {
        // Do custom fromBundle stuff
    }
}
