# Create

> Creates a federated plugin subgraph on the control plane.

## Usage

<Note>
  A plugin subgraph name must be unique within a namespace.
</Note>

```bash theme={null}
npx wgc router plugin create [pluginName] --label [labelName]
```

<Info>
  After creating a plugin subgraph, you can publish it with [wgc router plugin
  publish](/cli/router/plugin/publish).
</Info>

## Description

The `npx wgc router plugin create` command allows you to create a new plugin subgraph within the Cosmo platform. Plugin subgraphs are specialized GraphQL schemas that extend the functionality of your federated graph through plugins. The `[pluginName]` argument specifies the name of the new plugin subgraph. Use `npx wgc router plugin create -h` to see all the available options.

## **Parameters**

* `[pluginName]`: The name of the plugin subgraph you want to create. It should be a unique identifier (within the namespace) and is used to uniquely identify your plugin subgraph.

## **Options**

* `-n, --namespace` : The namespace of the plugin subgraph (Default: "default").

* `--label`: Assign multiple labels to the new plugin subgraph. Labels are used to categorize and organize subgraphs based on specific criteria (e.g., team, department, project).

  * Example: `--label team=A`

* `--readme <path-to-readme>:` The path to the markdown file which describes the plugin subgraph.

## **Examples**

* Create a new plugin subgraph named "projects" with the label "team=A":

```bash theme={null}
npx wgc router plugin create projects --label team=A
```

* Create a new plugin subgraph with a readme file:

```bash theme={null}
npx wgc router plugin create projects --label team=infrastructure --readme ./plugin-readme.md
```

* Create a plugin subgraph in a specific namespace:

```bash theme={null}
npx wgc router plugin create projects --namespace production --label env=prod
```
