Can you describe what you are trying to do in more detail? Are you referring to registering a hapi plugin or is this question about kibana plugins?

The `server` object exposes the hapi interface so you can call any hapi method and register your hapi plugin that way.

Your kibana plugin has an index.js file that defines the configuration passed to `new kibana.Plugin` for initialization. Specify the `init` object key for your plugin configuration. `init` is a function that is called with the server object.

```auto
  return new kibana.Plugin({
    init: async (server) => {
      //server exposes Hapi.server()
     await server.register(require('myplugin'));
    }
  }

```

I am just trying to implement this functionality [https://github.com/fknop/hapi-pagination](https://github.com/fknop/hapi-pagination), which is a part of hapi framework. My task is to do pagination for my custom table visualization.
