Directus Plugins
A powerful feature of Directus is the ability to install plugins.
Directus can be extended using plugins which are referred to as Extensions. You can utilize the extensions kit to create your own or simply add 3rd party extensions from Github using npm or by cloning the repository and manually adding the index.js file into the Directus extensions directory. There is usually a recommend installation method on the extension's Read Me.
Here is a collection of useful extensions.
