The innner workings of the plugin architecture

gistfile1.js

plugins = [];

//inside of NovelScript.js
NovelScript["plugin"] = function(func){
    plugins.push(func);
}

//inside of the NovelScript function constructor
plugins.forEach(function(plugin){
  plugin(self, options);
});

//plugin code here
!function(NovelScript){
  NovelScript.plugin(function(self, options){
    //do something to the current NovelScript object using the options provided
    
  });
  //NovelScript.prototype is accessable here
}(NovelScript);

//constructor performs construction and then calls plugins.forEach
var x = new NovelScript(options);
