# Extending Gitea Mirror
Gitea Mirror is designed with extensibility in mind through a module system.
## Module System
The application provides a module interface that allows extending functionality:
```typescript
export interface Module {
name: string;
version: string;
init(app: AppContext): Promise<void>;
cleanup?(): Promise<void>;
}
```
## Creating Custom Modules
You can create custom modules to add features:
```typescript
// my-module.ts
export class MyModule implements Module {
name = 'my-module';
version = '1.0.0';
async init(app: AppContext) {
// Add your functionality
app.addRoute('/api/my-endpoint', this.handler);
}
async handler(context) {
return new Response('Hello from my module!');
}
}
```
## Module Context
Modules receive an `AppContext` with:
- Database access
- Event system
- Route registration
- Configuration
## Private Extensions
If you're developing private extensions:
1. Create a separate package/repository
2. Implement the module interface
3. Use Bun's linking feature for development:
```bash
# In your extension
bun link
# In gitea-mirror
bun link your-extension
```
## Best Practices
- Keep modules focused on a single feature
- Use TypeScript for type safety
- Handle errors gracefully
- Clean up resources in `cleanup()`
- Document your module's API
## Community Modules
Share your modules with the community:
- Create a GitHub repository
- Tag it with `gitea-mirror-module`
- Submit a PR to list it in our docs
For more details on the module system, see the source code in `/src/lib/modules/`.
