I just discovered

register_plugin_field

on

Target

. This is awesome!

I’m not sure if I fully understood how this worked based on the docs

You can inject fields into targets. The codegen targets like

thrift_source

use it

Like, in lieu of making said fields manually? Are there any coupling concerns?

It's also how most skip fields are registered, as skip_black for instance comes from a different backend than the target for the field.

in terms of coupling the plugin that added it probably cares about using it

Ahhhh, okay okay, that makes sense. I misread the example, where I thought we were pulling fields and targets in the opposite order. When I looked at the skip example, it made sense again :)

Yep, a key design goal of the Target API 🙂

I never put 2 and 2 together with skip fields 😅
