## Plugins
You can use plugins by simply passing them to the generate method (e.g. [`peg.generate(grammar, { plugins: [plugin1, plugin2, etc] })`](./javascript-api.md#peggenerategrammar-options)).
#### Creating a Plugin
Plugins are expected to be an object that contains at least one method: `use( session, options )`
- `session` - See the docs for [peg.compiler.Session](./javascript-api.md#new-pegcompilersessionoptions)
- `options` - see the docs for [`peg.generate`](./javascript-api.md#peggenerategrammar-options) and [`peg.compiler.compile`](./javascript-api.md#pegcompilercompileast-session-options)
Here is a simple example:
```js
import customGrammarParser from "./parser";
export function use( session, options ) {
// Replace the grammar parser
config.parser = customGrammarParser;
// always output the source
options.output = "source";
}
```
#### Resources
You can find some plugins to use on
- the [PEG.js wiki](https://github.com/pegjs/pegjs/wiki/Plugins) (or add yours to the list for other's to find)
- NPM: https://www.npmjs.com/browse/keyword/pegjs
