    Parameters

    • plugin: string

      }

      The transform functions applied to the plugin.

    Returns IDisposable

    Notes

    • compose transformations: The registry automatically overwrites a plugin's default values with user overrides, but a plugin may instead wish to merge values. This behavior can be accomplished in a compose transformation.
    • fetch transformations: The registry uses the plugin data that is fetched from its connector. If a plugin wants to override, e.g. to update its schema with dynamic defaults, a fetch transformation can be applied.
  • Upload a plugin's settings.

    Parameters

    • plugin: string

      The name of the plugin whose settings are being set.

    • raw: string

      The raw plugin settings being uploaded.

    Returns Promise<void>

    A promise that resolves when the settings have been saved.
