Package Manager
Creating a Vundle style plugin management system would favour howdoi. This would allow developers to have their plugins hosted on Github and install via the howdoi cli after editing the .howdoirc file. (Still in development)

Architecture
A class based system has been used.

Why make howDoi a plugin-based application?

  • Better API abstraction
  • Reducing core dependencies
  • Strategy pattern
  • Visitor pattern
  • Indirect code contributions (for external developers) - people can build their own plugins and won’t have to send PR’s to the core howDoI project.
