# Description This PR standardizes updates to the config through a new `UpdateFromValue` trait. For now, this trait is private in case we need to make changes to it. Note that this PR adds some additional `ShellError` cases to create standard error messages for config errors. A follow-up PR will move usages of the old error cases to these new ones. This PR also uses `Type::custom` in lots of places (e.g., for string enums). Not sure if this is something we want to encourage. # User-Facing Changes Should be none.
Nushell core libraries and plugins
These sub-crates form both the foundation for Nu and a set of plugins which extend Nu with additional functionality.
Foundational libraries are split into two kinds of crates:
- Core crates - those crates that work together to build the Nushell language engine
- Support crates - a set of crates that support the engine with additional features like JSON support, ANSI support, and more.
Plugins are likewise also split into two types:
- Core plugins - plugins that provide part of the default experience of Nu, including access to the system properties, processes, and web-connectivity features.
- Extra plugins - these plugins run a wide range of different capabilities like working with different file types, charting, viewing binary data, and more.
