Parameters

Nodes often need additional input at construction time.

To support this, Beetry defines two main design goals for such inputs:

• they must be serializable and deserializable, so they can survive persistence
• they must support validation, so incorrect values can be detected as early as possible

Beetry addresses this with parameters. Parameter values are described through typed field specifications, which can also attach optional validators for constraints beyond the basic value type.

This gives nodes part of the flexibility of ordinary constructors, but in a form that remains structured and inspectable by the framework.

Registration

A parameter is usually introduced by defining a deserializable Rust type, and then implementing ProvideParamSpec for that type.

For the most up-to-date minimal example, check the ProvideParamSpec API docs in the beetry::plugin module.
