+
+Over the past few months, community users have added many plugins to Apache APISIX, enriching the Apache APISIX ecosystem. From the user's point of view, the emergence of more diverse plugins is certainly a good thing, as they fulfill more of the user's expectations for a gateway that is "one-stop" and "multi-functional" processor on top of perfecting the high performance and low latency of Apache APISIX.
+
+None of the articles on the Apache APISIX blog seem to go into detail about the process of developing plugins. So let's take a look at the process from the perspective of a plugin developer and see how a plugin is born!
+
+This article documents the process of developing the `file-logger` plugin by **a front-end engineer with no back-end experience**. Before digging into the details of the implementation process, we will briefly introduce the functionality of `file-logger`.
+
+## Introduction of file-logger plugin
+
+`file-logger` supports generating custom log formats using Apache APISIX plugin metadata. Users can append request and response data in JSON format to log files via the `file-logger` plugin, or push the log data stream to a specified location.
+
+Imagine this: when monitoring the access log of a route, we not only care about the value of certain request and response data, but also want to write the log data to a specified file. This is where the `file-logger` plugin can be used to help achieve these goals.

+
+We can use `file-logger` to write log data to a specific log file to simplify the process of monitoring and debugging.
+
+## How to implement a plugin?
+
+After introducing the features of file-logger, you will have a better understanding of this plugin. The following is a detailed explanation of how I, a front-end developer with no server-side experience, develop the plugin for Apache APISIX and add the corresponding tests for it.
