Hi,  
I’d like to know if there is a way to tell Kong which parameters are available for a golang Kong plugin, and enable to set them via API and/or Kong web admin tool like Konga.  
I have seen that parameters are discovered by Kong from the source file “schema.lua” of LUA plugins. I wonder if there is the same for golang plugins ?  
Thank you for reading.

Go plugins define their configuration as a `struct` type. As mentioned in the [docs](https://docs.konghq.com/2.1.x/go/), you define a constructor that returns your type:

```auto
func New() interface{} {
    return &MyConfig{}
}

```

And Kong will introspect the returned value ant create the equivalent to the `schema.lua`. The configuration data can come from the database, declarative configuration or the admin API, just like with Lua plugins.

Thanks a lot Javier for your answer, indeed it is working now with your help.  
Now I wonder how to get my plugin put in a the right category. For now it is shown in “Other” category (in Konga), and I’d like it in another one.
