Plugins

KAPLAY uses a flexible plugin system that helps you extend the library’s functionality with new methods, constants, or even new components.

Let’s take a look at how the default plugin myPlugin() is implemented.

// k is the KAPLAY context, what kaplay() returns
function myPlugin(k) {
    return {
        hi() {
            k.debug.log("Hi from myPlugin!");
        },
    };
}

Now you can use the plugin in your game:

const k = kaplay({
    plugins: [myPlugin],
});

k.hi(); // from myPlugin

Creating a plugin

We recommend using our templates:

• kaplay-plugin-template
• kaplay-plugin-template-ts (for TypeScript)

Both are minimal and simple templates for create and publish plugins on NPM.
