InstanceStarted event

Adds a new InstanceStarted event with access to the express app. Register your routes or own middleware for an instance.

When running an instance on port 9020 with the example plugin, then a GET request can be sent to http://localhost:9020 Keep in mind that an instance can use multiple plugins, use your routes accordingly to avoid conflicts.

/**
 * @constructor
 * @struct
 * @see {!PluginWorker} 
 */
function HelloWorldPlugin() {
    /**
     * @param {!InstanceStartedEvent} event 
     */
    this.onInstanceStarted = event => {
        event.app.get('/', function(req, res) {
            res.send('Hello world!');
        });
    };
}
 
/**
 * @type {!Plugin} 
 */
module.exports = {
    name: 'hello-world',
    description: 'Say hello to the world.',
    createWorker: () => new HelloWorldPlugin()
};
