As per https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/issues/2578

The properties id, name and description in plugin.json will be phased out in 0.6.1.

You can still have them but the values from package.json will be used.

No built in way, but there is nothing preventing you from writing your plugin to use a config file instead of settings stored in the database.

When your nodebb starts instead of loading your plugin settings from the database you would read it from the file.

Not particularly... there's no exposure to the testing suite via plugins.

If you want to test the plugin via eslint, you can run it locally: ./node_modules/.bin/eslint .

Hi,
just checkin in, I know Node can be quite clumsy in that matter and I am wondering how to deploy plugins on the production server, do i need to restart the entire instance?
thank you!

Just reload NodeBB from the ACP. Does the same thing, but doesn't take the site offline.
