## Extension environment
The app runs the extension the following way:
* It reads all extensions in `<path to the extension fodler>/**` folder
* Checks if `package.js` is present. If yes installs the packages
* Checks if `server.js` is present. If yes, calls the `init` function.

You can import package from both the main app package.json and from your extension package.json.
To import packages from the main app, you import as usual.
For packages from the extension, you always need to write relative path. i.e.: prefix with `./node_modules`
```ts
// Including dev-kit interfaces. It is not necessary, only helps development with types.
// You need to prefix them with ./node_modules
import {IExtensionObject} from './node_modules/pigallery2-extension-kit';
import { IExtensionObject } from "./node_modules/pigallery2-extension-kit";

You need to implement the `init` function for a working extension:

export const init = async (extension: IExtensionObject<void>): Promise<void> => {
