Dynamically-loaded Rust libraries that extend Elle with additional primitives.

Plugins use the stable elle-plugin ABI — they can be compiled independently from elle and loaded at runtime without version matching.

This repo is available as a git submodule at plugins/ in the elle repo. From the elle root:

git submodule update --init plugins
make plugins          # portable plugins (no system deps)
make plugins-all      # all plugins (requires vulkan, wayland, egui libs)

This places .so files in elle's target/release/, where the plugin/ import prefix looks. You can also use make directly from the submodule directory — the Makefile detects the parent elle repo and sets --target-dir automatically.

cargo build --release                    # all plugins
cargo build --release -p elle-crypto     # single plugin

When built standalone, .so files land in target/release/ within this repo. Elle won't find them via the plugin/ prefix unless you either move them to elle's target/release/ or point elle at them:

elle --path=/path/to/plugins/target/release
