Plugins

LearnCard uses a modular plugin system to extend functionality. Plugins are self-contained modules that add specific capabilities through Control Planes (standard interfaces like read, store, index) and Methods (custom functions via invoke).

Quick Start

Most users don't need to install plugins individually—@learncard/init bundles the essential plugins automatically:

import { initLearnCard } from '@learncard/init';

// Full wallet with all standard plugins
const learnCard = await initLearnCard({ seed: 'your-seed', network: true });

// Add additional plugins as needed
const enhancedLearnCard = await learnCard.addPlugin(await getMyPlugin());
