Plugins architecture

[arzola]

I'm trying to build a plugin for the 3x version but I'm not sure if I'm doing that the right way.

I setup my service provider as follows

class MyPluginServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
    public function boot(): void
    {
        $this->app->booted(function () {
          // RegisterXType
        });
    }
}

I was wondering if there are kinda like a best practices for:

1. Where to store custom data?
2. Do we have a mechanism to run stuff during plugin installation? not on every request like $this->app->booted or should I store a flag somewhere and run installation code conditionally?
3. For instance If I want to "modify an existent service" should I just override on the boot method like this? RegisterServiceType::make('service-id-to-override')

Plugins are Laravel packages you can do whatever you want.

for custom data you can handle them on service installation on the install handler.

if looking for examples just look how Vito boots its built in services/site-types/server-providers/etc
