Plugins

datagen can be extended by plugins. Plugins can be used to add new generators, transformers and serializers.

Plugins are written in rust and can be compiled to a dynamic library that can be loaded by datagen. For a plugin to be valid, it needs to expose a function with the following signature:

pub unsafe extern "C" fn _plugin_create(
    args: *mut serde_json::Value,
) -> datagen_rs::plugins::plugin::PluginInitResult {
    // ...
}
