# Description When nushell calls a plugin it now sends a configuration `Value` from the nushell config under `$env.config.plugins.PLUGIN_SHORT_NAME`. This allows plugin authors to read configuration provided by plugin users. The `PLUGIN_SHORT_NAME` must match the registered filename after `nu_plugin_`. If you register `target/debug/nu_plugin_config` the `PLUGIN_NAME` will be `config` and the nushell config will loook like: $env.config = { # ... plugins: { config: [ some values ] } } Configuration may also use a closure which allows passing values from `$env` to a plugin: $env.config = { # ... plugins: { config: {|| $env.some_value } } } This is a breaking change for the plugin API as the `Plugin::run()` function now accepts a new configuration argument which is an `&Option<Value>`. If no configuration was supplied the value is `None`. Plugins compiled after this change should work with older nushell, and will behave as if the configuration was not set. Initially discussed in #10867 # User-Facing Changes * Plugins can read configuration data stored in `$env.config.plugins` * The plugin `CallInfo` now includes a `config` entry, existing plugins will require updates # Tests + Formatting - 🟢 `toolkit fmt` - 🟢 `toolkit clippy` - 🟢 `toolkit test` - 🟢 `toolkit test stdlib` # After Submitting - [ ] Update [Creating a plugin (in Rust)](https://www.nushell.sh/contributor-book/plugins.html#creating-a-plugin-in-rust) [source](https://github.com/nushell/nushell.github.io/blob/main/contributor-book/plugins.md) - [ ] Add "Configuration" section to [Plugins documentation](https://www.nushell.sh/contributor-book/plugins.html) |

Nushell REPL
This directory contains the main Nushell REPL (read eval print loop) as part of the CLI portion of Nushell, which creates the nu
binary itself.
Current versions of the nu
binary will use the Nu argument parsing logic to parse the commandline arguments passed to nu
, leaving the logic here to be a thin layer around what the core libraries.
