Specify which plugins to use on a route in Kong dbless mode

Question

In dbless mode on kong we can specify which routes to be added on plugin using this declration:

plugins:
- name: jwt
  route: <route>
  config: 
    secret_is_base64: false

But I need to specify which plugins this route is going to use with something like:

route:
- name: getUser
  paths:
    - /user
  plugins: [<plugin1>, <plugin2>]

Any way to do this? I dont want to update all the plugin declarations everytime I add a new API on a service.

You can declare your plugins like this:

services:
- connect_timeout: 60000
  host: alb.host.dev
  name: service1
  routes:
  - hosts:
    - api.host.com
    - www.host.com
    name: my_host
    methods:
    - GET
    paths:
    - /user
    plugins: 
    - name: plugin1
      config:
        redis_database: 0
        redis_host: redis.dev
        redis_password: null
        redis_port: 6379
        redis_timeout: 2000
    - name: plugin2
      config:
        foo: 1
        bar: 2
