---------------
The VendurePlugin decorator is a means of configuring and/or extending the functionality of the Vendure server. A Vendure plugin is
a [Nestjs Module](https://docs.nestjs.com/modules), with optional additional metadata defining things like extensions to the GraphQL API, custom
configuration or new database entities.
As well as configuring the app, a plugin may also extend the GraphQL schema by extending existing types or adding
entirely new types. Database entities and resolvers can also be defined to handle the extended GraphQL types.
*Example*
```ts
import { Controller, Get } from '@nestjs/common';
import { Ctx, PluginCommonModule, ProductService, RequestContext, VendurePlugin } from '@vendure/core';
@Controller('products')
export class ProductsController {
constructor(private productService: ProductService) {}
@Get()
findAll(@Ctx() ctx: RequestContext) {
return this.productService.findAll(ctx);
}
}
//A simple plugin which adds a REST endpoint for querying products.
@VendurePlugin({
imports: [PluginCommonModule],
controllers: [ProductsController],
})
export class RestPlugin {}
```
