# Plugins (/docs/plugins/overview)





Plugins extend Flowlib with additional capabilities — database tables, API endpoints, flow execution hooks, and frontend components. Pass them in the `plugins` config array:

```ts
import { auth } from '@flowlib/user-auth';
import { rbac } from '@flowlib/rbac';

const router = await createFlowlibRouter({
  // ...
  plugins: [
    auth({
      /* Better Auth options */
    }),
    rbac(),
  ],
});
```

After adding plugins with database tables, regenerate and migrate:

```bash
npx flowlib-cli generate
npx flowlib-cli migrate --push
```

## Build your own [#build-your-own]

Plugins are plain objects with an `id`. Add hooks, actions, database tables, API endpoints, and frontend components — only what you need. See [Build Your Own](/docs/plugins/build-your-own) for the full guide.
