Class: PluginRegistry

Defined in: packages/plugins/registry/src/registry.ts:126

Registry that maps access method identifiers to plugin instances.

Remarks

Each access method can have at most one registered plugin at a time. Attempting to register a second plugin for the same accessMethod without first unregistering the existing one throws an Error.

Use When

• Managing a set of plugins across the lifetime of an application.
• Isolating plugins in a test suite (via createPluginRegistry).

Avoid When

Using the globalRegistry singleton directly in tests that run in parallel — mutations to the global registry leak between test cases.

Never

• Silent collision override is intentional by design in the old API; the current implementation throws on collision. Do not assume register is idempotent.
• clear is fire-and-forget: errors from plugin.destroy() are caught and logged but not re-thrown. A plugin that fails to tear down cleanly will leave resources open silently.
