How can I precompute the address of contract and use it for the deployment of a second contract?

Question

When I deploy the dao with the DaoFactory, I also want a second second plugin installed, which relies on the address of the first plugin...

What do you recommend?

Should I deploy the second plugin separately after? or is there a way to precompute the address of the first plugin and pass it for the setup of the second plugin in the DaoFactory createDAO plugin settings?

ℹ️ For the safety of any DAO, plugin dependencies should be avoided.

Nothing prevents one plugin from using another one, but having a plugin installed (i.e. permissions granted) which depends on another plugin (and version) also being installed (i.e. permissions granted) was intentionally avoided, because it would become a source of bricked DAOs.

In other words: cyclical dependencies, plugins that cannot be installed because another one depends on it, plugins that cannot be upgraded because of a dependency not being available, DAOs that manually revoke a permission which which another plugin depended on (i.e. no plugins being able to execute), etc.

• Plugins should be independent in terms of permissions
• The same permission should never be requested by two plugins
• It's OK if plugin A needs to use plugin B (as long as plugin B is always available)
