feat(crm): add console plugin integration, CLI dev mode, and plugin export by Copilot · Pull Request #506 · objectstack-ai/objectui

Copilot · 2026-02-14T06:29:05Z

Enable examples/crm to work as both a standalone debuggable app (via CLI) and a reusable plugin for other projects.

CLI Development Modes

pnpm dev — objectstack serve --dev with auto MemoryDriver, Studio UI, and ConsolePlugin
pnpm serve — production mode via CLI, ConsolePlugin loaded from config
pnpm start — custom tsx server.ts with explicit auth, logging, full control

Console Integration

ConsolePlugin added to objectstack.config.ts plugins array so the CLI serve command loads the Console UI automatically — no custom server.ts needed for basic usage.

Plugin Export

New plugin.ts with CRMPlugin class and crmConfig raw export, exposed via ./plugin package export:

// As a kernel plugin
import { CRMPlugin } from '@object-ui/example-crm/plugin';
kernel.use(new CRMPlugin());

// For config merging
import { crmConfig } from '@object-ui/example-crm/plugin';

Changes

objectstack.config.ts — embed ConsolePlugin in plugins array (uses as any since defineStack schema doesn't include runtime plugins, consistent with objectstack.shared.ts)
package.json — add dev script, type: module, ./plugin export path
plugin.ts — new CRMPlugin class wrapping CRM metadata as kernel-compatible plugin
server.ts — import ConsolePlugin directly from @object-ui/console
tsconfig.json — include plugin.ts

Original prompt

我希望example/crm 可以引用@object-ui/console ，使用cli运行，单独调试，也可以编译成插件供别的项目引用，请帮我设计这个开发模式，并且测试确认

examples/crm/plugin.ts

+import config from './objectstack.config';
+
+/** Raw CRM stack configuration for direct merging */
+export const crmConfig = config;


plugin.ts imports and re-exports objectstack.config.ts as crmConfig. Since objectstack.config.ts now includes new ConsolePlugin() (Node-only), any consumer that imports crmConfig/CRMPlugin will also pull in the console’s Node built-ins. If the goal is to share CRM metadata, consider exporting a metadata-only config (no runtime plugins) from ./plugin and keeping runtime UI plugins in a separate Node-only entrypoint.

+  },
+  plugins: [
+    new ConsolePlugin(),
+  ],


objectstack.config.ts now imports ConsolePlugin from @object-ui/console and instantiates it in the exported config. @object-ui/console's plugin implementation imports Node-only built-ins (fs, path, url), and this CRM config is imported in browser contexts (e.g. Storybook’s .storybook/msw-browser.ts imports @object-ui/example-crm → objectstack.config.ts). This will make browser bundling/runtime fail. Consider keeping objectstack.config.ts as pure metadata (objects/apps/manifest) and moving ConsolePlugin to a Node-only runtime config entrypoint (e.g. a separate objectstack.runtime.config.ts used by pnpm dev/serve) or loading the console plugin conditionally so the metadata package remains browser-safe.

examples/crm/plugin.ts

+  async start(ctx: any) {
+    const logger = ctx.logger || console;
+
+    try {
+      // Dynamically import AppPlugin to keep plugin.ts dependency-light
+      const { AppPlugin } = await import('@objectstack/runtime');
+      const appPlugin = new AppPlugin(config);
+      await ctx.kernel?.use?.(appPlugin);
+      logger.info('[CRM] Metadata loaded: objects, apps, dashboards, seed data');
+    } catch (e: any) {
+      logger.warn(`[CRM] Could not auto-register via AppPlugin: ${e.message}`);
+      logger.info('[CRM] Config is available via crmConfig export for manual merging');


In start(), await ctx.kernel?.use?.(appPlugin) will silently do nothing when ctx.kernel (or use) is missing, but the code still logs "Metadata loaded" as if registration succeeded. This can lead to false-positive startup logs and a non-functional plugin. Consider validating that ctx.kernel exists and supports use() before logging success; otherwise log a warning/error and return (or throw) so failures are visible.
