plugin
------
.. versionadded:: 2.8
Plugins are a way to load OCaml libraries at runtime. The ``plugin`` stanza
allows you to declare the plugin's name, which :ref:`sites<sites>` should be
present and which libraries it will load.
.. code:: dune
(plugin
(name <name>)
(libraries <libraries>)
(site (<package> <site name>))
(<optional-fields>))
``<optional-fields>`` are:
- ``(package <package>)`` if there is more than one package defined in the
current scope, this specifies which package the plugin will install. A plugin
can be installed by one package in the site of another package.
- ``(optional)`` will not declare the plugin if the libraries are not available.
The loading of the plugin is done using the facilities generated by
:doc:`generate_sites_module`.
