+title: Plugins Reference
+description: An overview of the Starlight plugin API.
+---
+
+Starlight Plugins provide an API to customize Starlight configuration, UI and behavior while also being easy to share and reuse.
+This page is for anyone interested in creating their own Starlight plugins.
+
+Lean more about using a Starlight plugin in the [Configuration Reference](/reference/configuration/#plugins) or visit the [Starlight Plugins Showcase](/showcase/#community-plugins) to see a list of community plugins.
+
+## Quick API Reference
+
+```ts
+interface StarlightPlugin {
+  name: string;
+  plugin: (options: {
+    config: StarlightUserConfig;
+    updateConfig: (newConfig: StarlightUserConfig) => void;
+    addIntegration: (integration: AstroIntegration) => void;
+    logger: AstroIntegrationLogger;
+  }) => void | Promise<void>;
+}
+```
+
+## Options
+
+### `config`
+
+**type:** `StarlightUserConfig`
+
+A read-only copy of the user-supplied [Starlight configuration](/reference/configuration).
+This configuration may have been updated by other plugins configured before the current one.
+
+### `updateConfig`
+
+**type:** `(newConfig: StarlightUserConfig) => void`
+
+A callback function to update the user-supplied [Starlight configuration](/reference/configuration).
+You only need to provide the configuration values that you want to update but no deep merge is performed.
+
+For example, to add a new [`social`](/reference/configuration/#social) media account to the configuration without overriding the existing ones:
+
+```ts {5-10}
+// plugin.ts
+export default {
+  name: 'add-twitter-plugin',
+  plugin({ config, updateConfig }) {
+    updateConfig({
+      social: {
+        ...config.social,
+        twitter: 'astrodotbuild',
+      },
+    });
+  },
+};
+```
+
+### `addIntegration`
+
+**type:** `(integration: AstroIntegration) => void`
+
+A callback function to add an [Astro integration](https://docs.astro.build/en/reference/integrations-reference/) required by the plugin.
+For example, to add the [React Astro integration](https://docs.astro.build/en/guides/integrations-guide/react/):
+
+```ts {7}
+// plugin.ts
+import react from '@astrojs/react';
+
+export default {
+  name: 'plugin-using-react',
+  plugin({ addIntegration }) {
+    addIntegration(react());
+  },
+};
+```
+
+### `logger`
+
+**type:** `AstroIntegrationLogger`
+
+An instance of the [Astro integration logger](https://docs.astro.build/en/reference/integrations-reference/#astrointegrationlogger) that you can use to write logs.
+Note that all logged messages will be prefixed with the plugin name.
+
+```ts {5}
+// plugin.ts
+export default {
+  name: 'long-process-plugin',
+  plugin({ logger }) {
+    logger.info('Starting long process…');
+    // Some long process…
+  },
+};
+```
+
+The example above will log a message that includes the provided info message:
+
+```shell
+[long-process-plugin] Starting long process…
+```
