Support loading plugins without FS access #52

Open strogonoff opened 3 years ago

strogonoff commented 3 years ago

Use case: install plugins in Electron’s window without nodeIntegration, and hence without filesystem access.

This use case could be addressed by allowing to install in-memory.

Which, in turn, could be supported by allowing to pass a custom conforming fs implementation to PluginManager (there’re API-compatible implementations of FS like LightningFS, for example).

I know this might be out of scope of this project, but thought I’d file this just in case.

Yes, good idea. It should be not too difficult to implement. As usual any help is appreciated ;-)
