# defaultPlugin

**Kind:** Function

**Source:** [`src/helper/ssg/plugins.ts`](https://github.com/honojs/hono/blob/main/src/helper/ssg/plugins.ts#L11)

**Part of:** [Helper](subsystem-src-helper)

The default plugin that defines the recommended behavior.

`defaultPlugin` creates the plugin that applies the project's recommended static-site-generation behavior. Add it to the SSG plugin list so its hooks participate in the build lifecycle.

## Signature

```ts
function defaultPlugin(): SSGPlugin
```

**Returns:** `SSGPlugin`

## Usage

```ts
import { defaultPlugin } from './src/helper/ssg/plugins';

const plugins = [
  defaultPlugin(),
];

export { plugins };
```

## AI Coding Instructions

- Keep `defaultPlugin()` in the SSG plugin configuration so the default build behavior remains active.
- Follow the plugin hook and return-value conventions already used in `src/helper/ssg/plugins.ts`.
- Avoid duplicating behavior implemented by the default plugin in custom plugins.
- When changing plugin behavior, verify how the change affects generated static output and build-time hooks.
