 * Overlay
 *

 * button that when clicked, will show all available applications with their names,
 * icons and provider plugins. When one clicks on an app's icon, they will be directed
 * to <code-server-root>/<plugin-path>/<app-path> to access the application.

/**
 * Plugins
 *
 * Plugins are just node modules that contain a top level export "plugin" that implements
 * the Plugin interface.
 *
 * 1. code-server uses $CS_PLUGIN to find plugins.
 *
 * e.g. CS_PLUGIN=/tmp/will:/tmp/teffen will cause code-server to load
 * /tmp/will and /tmp/teffen as plugins.
 *
 * 2. code-server uses $CS_PLUGIN_PATH to find plugins. Each subdirectory in
 * $CS_PLUGIN_PATH with a package.json where the engine is code-server is
 * a valid plugin.
 *
 * e.g. CS_PLUGIN_PATH=/tmp/nhooyr:/tmp/ash will cause code-server to search
 * /tmp/nhooyr and then /tmp/ash for plugins.
 *
 * CS_PLUGIN_PATH defaults to
 * ~/.local/share/code-server/plugins:/usr/share/code-server/plugins
 * if unset.
 *
 *
 * 3. Built in plugins are loaded from __dirname/../plugins
 *
 * Plugins are required as soon as they are found and then initialized.
 * See the Plugin interface for details.
 *
 * If two plugins are found with the exact same name, then code-server will
 * use the first one and emit a warning.
 *
 */

/**
 * Programmability
 *
 * There is also a /api/applications endpoint to allow programmatic access to all
 * available applications. It could be used to create a custom application dashboard
 * for example. An important difference with the API is that all application paths
 * will be absolute (i.e have the plugin path prepended) so that they may be used
 * directly.
 *
 * Example output:
 *
 * [
 *   {
 *     "name": "Test App",
 *     "version": "4.0.0",
 *     "iconPath": "/test-plugin/test-app/icon.svg",
 *     "path": "/test-plugin/test-app",
 *     "description": "This app does XYZ.",
 *     "homepageURL": "https://example.com",
 *     "plugin": {
 *       "name": "test-plugin",
 *       "version": "1.0.0",
 *       "modulePath": "/Users/nhooyr/src/cdr/code-server/test/test-plugin",
 *       "displayName": "Test Plugin",
 *       "description": "Plugin used in code-server tests.",
 *       "routerPath": "/test-plugin",
