    -include_lib("emqttd/include/emqttd.hrl").

    -export([init/1, check/3, description/0]).

    init(Opts) -> {ok, Opts}.

    check(#mqtt_client{client_id = ClientId, username = Username}, Password, _Opts) ->
        io:format("Auth Demo: clientId=~p, username=~p, password=~p~n",
                  [ClientId, Username, Password]),
        ok.

    description() -> "Demo Auth Module".

emq_acl_demo.erl - demo ACL module:

.. code-block:: erlang

    -module(emq_acl_demo).

    -include_lib("emqttd/include/emqttd.hrl").

    %% ACL callbacks
    -export([init/1, check_acl/2, reload_acl/1, description/0]).

    init(Opts) ->
        {ok, Opts}.

    check_acl({Client, PubSub, Topic}, Opts) ->
        io:format("ACL Demo: ~p ~p ~p~n", [Client, PubSub, Topic]),
        allow.

    reload_acl(_Opts) ->
        ok.

    description() -> "ACL Module Demo".

emq_plugin_template_app.erl - Register the auth/ACL modules:

.. code-block:: erlang

    ok = emqttd_access_control:register_mod(auth, emq_auth_demo, []),
    ok = emqttd_access_control:register_mod(acl, emq_acl_demo, []),

Register Callbacks for Hooks
-----------------------------

The plugin could register callbacks for hooks. The hooks will be run by the broker when a client connected/disconnected, a topic subscribed/unsubscribed or a message published/delivered:

+------------------------+-----------------------------------------+
| Name                   | Description                             |
+------------------------+-----------------------------------------+
| client.connected       | Run when a client connected to the      |
|                        | broker successfully                     |
+------------------------+-----------------------------------------+
| client.subscribe       | Run before a client subscribes topics   |
+------------------------+-----------------------------------------+
| client.unsubscribe     | Run when a client unsubscribes topics   |
+------------------------+-----------------------------------------+
| session.subscribed     | Run after a client subscribed a topic   |
+------------------------+-----------------------------------------+
| session.unsubscribed   | Run after a client unsubscribed a topic |
+------------------------+-----------------------------------------+
| message.publish        | Run when a message is published         |
+------------------------+-----------------------------------------+
| message.delivered      | Run when a message is delivered         |
+------------------------+-----------------------------------------+
| message.acked          | Run when a message(qos1/2) is acked     |
+------------------------+-----------------------------------------+
| client.disconnected    | Run when a client is disconnnected      |
+------------------------+-----------------------------------------+

emq_plugin_template.erl for example:

.. code-block:: erlang

    %% Called when the plugin application start
    load(Env) ->
        emqttd:hook('client.connected', fun ?MODULE:on_client_connected/3, [Env]),
        emqttd:hook('client.disconnected', fun ?MODULE:on_client_disconnected/3, [Env]),
        emqttd:hook('client.subscribe', fun ?MODULE:on_client_subscribe/4, [Env]),
        emqttd:hook('session.subscribed', fun ?MODULE:on_session_subscribed/4, [Env]),
        emqttd:hook('client.unsubscribe', fun ?MODULE:on_client_unsubscribe/4, [Env]),
        emqttd:hook('session.unsubscribed', fun ?MODULE:on_session_unsubscribed/4, [Env]),
        emqttd:hook('message.publish', fun ?MODULE:on_message_publish/2, [Env]),
        emqttd:hook('message.delivered', fun ?MODULE:on_message_delivered/4, [Env]),
        emqttd:hook('message.acked', fun ?MODULE:on_message_acked/4, [Env]).

Register CLI Modules
--------------------

emq_cli_demo.erl:

.. code-block:: erlang

    -module(emqttd_cli_demo).

    -include_lib("emqttd/include/emqttd_cli.hrl").

    -export([cmd/1]).

    cmd(["arg1", "arg2"]) ->
        ?PRINT_MSG("ok");

    cmd(_) ->
        ?USAGE([{"cmd arg1 arg2", "cmd demo"}]).

emq_plugin_template_app.erl - register the CLI module to *EMQ* broker:

.. code-block:: erlang

    emqttd_ctl:register_cmd(cmd, {emq_cli_demo, cmd}, []).

There will be a new CLI after the plugin loaded::

    ./bin/emqttd_ctl cmd arg1 arg2

Create Configuration File
-------------------------

Create `etc/${plugin_name}.conf|config` file for the plugin. The *EMQ* broker supports two type of config syntax:

1. ${plugin_name}.config with erlang syntax: 

.. code-block:: erlang

    [
      {plugin_name, [
        {key, value}
      ]}
    ].

2. ${plugin_name}.conf with a general `k = v` syntax:

.. code-block:: properties

    plugin_name.key = value

Build and Release the Plugin
----------------------------

1. clone emqttd-relx project:

.. code-block:: bash

    git clone https://github.com/emqtt/emqttd-relx.git

2. Add `DEPS` in Makefile:

.. code-block:: makefile

    DEPS += plugin_name
    dep_plugin_name = git url_of_plugin

3. Add the plugin in relx.config:

.. code-block:: erlang

    {plugin_name, load},
