# Plugins

Your `entitlements-app` config `config/entitlements.yaml` runs through ERB interpretation automatically. You can extend your entitlements configuration to load plugins like so:

```ruby
<%-
  unless ENV['CI_MODE']
    begin
      require_relative "/data/entitlements-app/lib/entitlements-and-plugins"
    rescue Exception
      begin
        require_relative "lib/entitlements-and-plugins"
      rescue Exception
        # We might not have the plugins installed and still want this file to be
        # loaded. Don't raise anything but silently fail.
      end
    end
  end
-%>
```

You can then define `lib/entitlements-and-plugins` like so:

```ruby
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
# frozen_string_literal: true

ENV["BUNDLE_GEMFILE"] = File.expand_path("../../Gemfile", File.dirname(__FILE__))
require "bundler/setup"
require "entitlements"

# require entitlements plugins here
require "entitlements/backend/github_org"
require "entitlements/backend/github_team"
require "entitlements/service/github"
```

Any plugins defined in `lib/entitlements-and-plugins` will be loaded and used at `entitlements-app` runtime.
