### Hooks
A plugin registers functions in JavaScript to execute when PeerTube (server and client) fires events. There are 3 types of hooks:
- * `filter`: used to filter functions parameters or return values.
+ * `filter`: used to filter functions parameters or return values.
For example to replace words in video comments, or change the videos list behaviour
* `action`: used to do something after a certain trigger. For example to send a hook every time a video is published
* `static`: same than `action` but PeerTube waits their execution
```js
async function register ({
registerHook,
+
registerSetting,
settingsManager,
+
storageManager,
+
videoCategoryManager,
videoLicenceManager,
videoLanguageManager,
+
peertubeHelpers,
- getRouter
+
+ getRouter,
+
+ registerExternalAuth,
+ unregisterExternalAuth,
+ registerIdAndPassAuth,
+ unregisterIdAndPassAuth
}) {
registerHook({
target: 'action:application.listening',
### Static files
-Plugins can declare static directories that PeerTube will serve (images for example)
-from `/plugins/{plugin-name}/{plugin-version}/static/`
+Plugins can declare static directories that PeerTube will serve (images for example)
+from `/plugins/{plugin-name}/{plugin-version}/static/`
or `/themes/{theme-name}/{theme-version}/static/` routes.
### CSS
const result = await settingsManager.getSettings([ 'admin-name', 'admin-password' ])
result['admin-name]
+
+settingsManager.onSettingsChange(settings => {
+ settings['admin-name])
+})
```
#### Storage
* Or `/plugins/:pluginName/router/ping`
+#### Add external auth methods
+
+If you want to add a classic username/email and password auth method (like [LDAP](https://framagit.org/framasoft/peertube/official-plugins/-/tree/master/peertube-plugin-auth-ldap) for example):
+
+```js
+registerIdAndPassAuth({
+ authName: 'my-auth-method',
+
+ // PeerTube will try all id and pass plugins in the weight DESC order
+ // Exposing this value in the plugin settings could be interesting
+ getWeight: () => 60,
+
+ // Optional function called by PeerTube when the user clicked on the logout button
+ onLogout: user => {
+ console.log('User %s logged out.', user.username')
+ },
+
+ // Optional function called by PeerTube when the access token or refresh token are generated/refreshed
+ hookTokenValidity: ({ token, type }) => {
+ if (type === 'access') return { valid: true }
+ if (type === 'refresh') return { valid: false }
+ },
+
+ // Used by PeerTube when the user tries to authenticate
+ login: ({ id, password }) => {
+ if (id === 'user' && password === 'super password') {
+ return {
+ username: 'user'
+ email: 'user@example.com'
+ role: 2
+ displayName: 'User display name'
+ }
+ }
+
+ // Auth failed
+ return null
+ }
+})
+
+// Unregister this auth method
+unregisterIdAndPassAuth('my-auth-method')
+```
+
+You can also add an external auth method (like [OpenID](https://framagit.org/framasoft/peertube/official-plugins/-/tree/master/peertube-plugin-auth-openid-connect), [SAML2](https://framagit.org/framasoft/peertube/official-plugins/-/tree/master/peertube-plugin-auth-saml2) etc):
+
+```js
+// result contains the userAuthenticated auth method you can call to authenticate a user
+const result = registerExternalAuth({
+ authName: 'my-auth-method',
+
+ // Will be displayed in a button next to the login form
+ authDisplayName: () => 'Auth method'
+
+ // If the user click on the auth button, PeerTube will forward the request in this function
+ onAuthRequest: (req, res) => {
+ res.redirect('https://external-auth.example.com/auth')
+ },
+
+ // Same than registerIdAndPassAuth option
+ // onLogout: ...
+
+ // Same than registerIdAndPassAuth option
+ // hookTokenValidity: ...
+})
+
+router.use('/external-auth-callback', (req, res) => {
+ // Forward the request to PeerTube
+ result.userAuthenticated({
+ req,
+ res,
+ username: 'user'
+ email: 'user@example.com'
+ role: 2
+ displayName: 'User display name'
+ })
+})
+
+// Unregister this external auth method
+unregisterExternalAuth('my-auth-method)
+```
+
### Client helpers (themes & plugins)
#### Plugin static route
console.error('Matomo settings are not set.')
return
}
-
+
// ...
})
-```
+```
### Publishing
* `author`
* `bugs`
* `engine.peertube` (the PeerTube version compatibility, must be `>=x.y.z` and nothing else)

**Caution:** Don't update or remove other keys, or PeerTube will not be able to index/install your plugin.

If your plugin is broken with a new PeerTube release, update your code and the `peertubeEngine` field of your `package.json` field.
-This way, older PeerTube versions will still use your old plugin, and new PeerTube versions will use your updated plugin.
