Higher Order Plugins

You can also write plugins that accept options, which allows plugins to be more flexible. For example:

export const truncate: HigherOrderPlugin = (length) => (text) => {
  return text.slice(0, parseInt(length));
};

This plugin truncates the input string to the specified length. The options for the plugin are passed into the outer function. The outer function returns the inner one, which then accepts the input text like a regular plugin.
