Source: https://docs.nodebb.org/development/quickstart

The `library.js` file contains the main logic for a NodeBB plugin. It maps hook listeners defined in `plugin.json` to exported methods. For example, the `static:app.load` hook is mapped to the `init` method, which is responsible for setting up routes and mounting them to the express router.

```javascript
const controllers = require('./lib/controllers');

const plugin = {};

plugin.init = async (params) => {
  const { router, middleware, controllers: siteControllers } = params.app;
  const routeHelpers = require('./lib/routeHelpers');

  // Mount routes
  routeHelpers.mountRoutes(router, middleware, siteControllers);

  // Example: Registering a hook listener for user login
  // User.events.on('user:login:success', async (data) => {
  //   console.log(`User ${data.user.username} logged in!`);
  // });
};

module.exports = plugin;
```
