I have managed by creating a directory plugins and registering it with autoloader in order for my app to easily access its classes. After that I set its classes in the DI component through service.php

I Added the plugins directory holding the classes in the config file and then registered my plugin in the service file through the di component.

After that I am able to execute it as I need in the application controllers.
