Plugins
Plugins extend the functionality of the GameAP panel: they add new pages, tabs on the game server page, file editors, buttons on the home page, and integrations with external services.
A plugin is a single .wasm file (a WASM module targeting wasm32-wasip1). Plugins can be written in any language that compiles to WASM: there is a ready-made SDK for Rust, and development in AssemblyScript is possible. A plugin may include a Vue 3 frontend embedded in the same .wasm file — the plugin’s pages and components run directly inside the panel interface.
A hex editor for game server files — an example of a working plugin.
Security
Plugins run in an isolated environment (a WASM runtime): they have no direct access to the file system or the network, and every call goes through a controlled panel interface. Only a panel administrator can install and remove plugins. When installing from the catalog, the panel verifies the SHA-256 hash of the downloaded file.
Plugin catalog
The official plugin catalog is available at plugins.gameap.dev (Russian version — plugins.gameap.ru). Both plugins by the GameAP team and plugins by third-party developers may be published there — anyone can register and publish their own plugin (see Publishing to the catalog).
Plugins from the catalog are installed from the panel interface in a few clicks (see Installation and management).
