Getting Started

The Platform Plugin provides a single entry point for configuring all Vendure Platform plugins. Instead of manually importing, ordering, and wiring each plugin, you pass a single options object to VendurePlatform.init() and it handles the rest.

What it does:

• Automatic plugin registration: Core and optional plugins are activated with defaults; set optional plugin keys to false to disable them.
• Dependency resolution: Required plugins are auto-activated (e.g. approvalWorkflows pulls in orgHierarchy and workflowEngine).
• Integration wiring: Cross-plugin integrations (conditions, resolvers, strategies) are automatically detected and merged based on which plugins are active.
• Correct ordering: The strategy wrapping chain and init order are handled internally.
• Order process configuration: When approvalWorkflows is active, the default order process is automatically configured with the required flags.
• Runtime license guard: The required License Guard plugin is registered first and checks VENDURE_PLATFORM_LICENSE_TOKEN at boot.
