Client requirements can be complex and those complex requirements often require custom code to be written. This includes making sure that the editing process conforms to certain validations.

Derivers in Drupal are one of the ways in which you can inform Drupal about the presence of plugin types. This allows you to generate multiple custom types of a plugin so that it can be represented as multiple different plugins within the system.
