Erlang Boilerplate

We recommend to use the rebar3 toolchain to generate the basic Erlang OTP application boilerplate and start from there.
1
rebar3 new app name="myplugin" desc="this is my first VerneMQ plugin"
2
===> Writing myplugin/src/myplugin_app.erl
3
===> Writing myplugin/src/myplugin_sup.erl
4
===> Writing myplugin/src/myplugin.app.src
5
===> Writing myplugin/rebar.config
6
===> Writing myplugin/.gitignore
7
===> Writing myplugin/LICENSE
8
===> Writing myplugin/README.md
Copied!
Change the rebar.config file to include the vernemq_dev dependency:
1
{erl_opts, [debug_info]}.
2
{deps, [{vernemq_dev,
3
    {git, "git://github.com/vernemq/vernemq_dev.git", {branch, "master"}}}
4
]}.
Copied!
Compile the application, this will automatically fetch vernemq_dev.
1
rebar3 compile                             
2
===> Verifying dependencies...
3
===> Fetching vmq_commons ({git,
4
                                      "git://github.com/vernemq/vernemq_dev.git",
5
                                      {branch,"master"}})
6
===> Compiling vernemq_dev
7
===> Compiling myplugin
Copied!
Now you're ready to implement the hooks. Don't forget to add the proper vmq_plugin_hooks entries to your src/myplugin.app.src file.
For a complete example, see the vernemq_demo_plugin.
