brief-node-plugin-approach.md

In this project: https://github.com/architects/brief-node

There is a concept called a Briefcase.

A Briefcase is an object which represents a folder.

Here is an example:

https://github.com/architects/brief-node/tree/master/test/example

In this folder you'll see:

docs/epics/model-definition-dsl.md models/epic.js

The first is a markdown document, an instance of the epic document type, or model.

A Plugin Approach

I would like to develop a way of bundling up models into plugins, and letting authors mix and match the plugins to use for an individual briefcase.

I'd like to have the following syntax:

var blueprint = require('brief-blueprint-plugin');
var brief = require('brief-node');
var briefcase = brief.use(blueprint).load("/path/to/blueprint")

This would allow me to define the models once, but have a dozen projects use them without needing to define them on their own.
