Compile plugin from source

// init plugin folder
userPlugin := NewPluginLoader("./soureFolder", "./objFolder")
sourcePluginName :="test.go"
// compile plugin from source
compiledPlugin, err := userPlugin.Compile(sourcePluginName)
if err != nil {
fmt.Print(err.Error())
}
// print compiled plugin name
fmt.Println(fmt.Sprintf("compiled plugin name %s", compiledPlugin))

Load and invoke a compiled plugin

// init plugin folder
userPlugin:= NewPluginLoader("./soureFolder", "./objFolder")
compiledPluginName :="test.so"
pluginMethodName := "Test"
// load and invoke plugin method
results, err :=userPlugin.LoadAndInvoke(compiledPluginName, pluginMethodName)
if err != nil {
fmt.Print(err.Error())
}
res := results[0].(string)
fmt.Println(fmt.Sprintf(res)

Full Example

test.go (source plugin)

package main

//Test this plugin
func Test(value string) string {
	return value
}

Compile plugin

 go build -buildmode=plugin -o ./objFolder/test.so ./soureFolder/test.go

Load and invoke plugin

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"github.com/chen-keinan/go-user-plugins/uplugin"
	"os"
)

func main() {
	//Test this plugin
	userPlugin := uplugin.NewPluginLoader("./soureFolder", "./objFolder")
	compiledPluginName := "test.so"
	pluginFuncdName := "Test"
	// load and invoke plugin method
	results, err := userPlugin.LoadAndInvoke(compiledPluginName, pluginFuncdName, "string value")
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Print(err.Error())
		os.Exit(1)
	}
	res := results[0].(string)
	fmt.Println(fmt.Sprintf(res)
}
