Zhin Plugin Lifecycle Guide

Use this skill to help developers scaffold and reason about Zhin plugins, including lifecycle hooks, auto-loading behavior, and hot-reload interactions.

Plugin Scaffold

Start with the minimal plugin entry file that uses usePlugin() so Zhin can create a plugin instance for the file:

import { usePlugin } from '@zhin.js/core'

const plugin = usePlugin()

plugin.onMounted(() => {
  plugin.logger.info(`Plugin ${plugin.name} mounted`)
})
