 The add-on registry is a store where you can register a number of add-ons that your app consumes.

+Add-on packages are just CommonJS/ESM packages.
 The only requirement is that they point the `main` key of their `package.json` to a module that exports as a default function, which acts as a configuration loader.
 
 An add-on can be published in an npm registry, just as any other package.
 However, add-ons are meant to not be transpiled.
 They should be released as source packages.

 The function needs to return the `config` object (the configuration registry), so that it's passed further along to the other add-ons.
 
 The add-ons are registered in the order they are found in the `addons` key.

 You can override programmatically such registrations from your add-on or projects because it's stored in the configuration registry.
 You can customize a component without using shadowing at all, if the code that uses the component retrieves from the component registry, rather then import it directly.
 You can even have modifiers to the component registrations through dependencies.
 Thus you can adapt the call, given an array of such dependencies.

+### Lazy load components
+**TODO** Test it properly

+You could lazy load the component too in the registry, if you need it.

+
+## Utilities registry
+
+The configuration registry also stores a utilities registry in itself.
+The components registry is a mapping of a `name` and a `type` to a method or function.
+It works in a similar way as the components registry, but for methods and functions and by adding an additional query argument `type`.
+
+### Register utilities using `config.registerUtility`
+
+You register an utility using a specific `name` and `type` arguments.
+
+```js
+config.registerUtility({
+  name: 'url',
+  type: 'validator',
+  method: () => 'this is a simple validator utility',
+});
+```
+
+For a same `type` you can register different `name` utilities.
+
+```js
+config.registerUtility({
+  name: 'url',
+  type: 'validator',
+  method: () => 'this is a simple validator utility',
+});
+
+config.registerUtility({
+  name: 'email',
+  type: 'validator',
+  method: () => 'this is a simple validator utility',
+});
+```
+
+However, registering two utilities under the same `name`, the latter will override the former.
+So you can override existing utilities in your add-ons.
+
+```js
+config.registerUtility({
+  name: 'url',
+  type: 'validator',
+  method: () => 'this is a simple url validator utility',
+});
+
+config.registerUtility({
+  name: 'url',
+  type: 'validator',
+  method: () => 'this registered url validator utility will prevail, as defined later',
+});
+```
+
+### Register utilities using a `dependencies` object
+
+It is possible to register utilities using a `dependencies` object.
+This is useful in order to narrow even more the specificity of the utility.
+
+```js
+config.registerUtility({
+  name: 'email',
+  type: 'validator',
+  dependencies: { fieldType: 'email' },
+  method: () => 'this is a validator utility with dependencies for email',
+});
+```
+
+### Retrieve an utility from the utilities registry
+
+You can retrieve one specific utility using `config.getUtility`, given the `name` and `type`.
+
+```js
+config.getUtility({ name: 'url', type: 'validator' }).method(),
+```
+
+or using a `dependencies` object:
+
+```js
+config.getUtility({
+  name: 'email',
+  dependencies: { fieldType: 'string' },
+  type: 'validator',
+}).method(),
+```
+
+### Retrieve all the utilities of the same `type`
+
+You can also retrieve all the utilities registered under the same `type`.
+
+```js
+config.getUtilities({ type: 'validator' })
+```
+
+or given a `dependencies` object:
+
+```js
+config.getUtilities({
+  type: 'validator',
+  dependencies: { fieldType: 'string' },
+}).length,
+```
+
+This is useful when building pluggable systems, so you can query all the utilities present in the registry.
+For example, retrieve all validator utilities for the `fieldType` `string`.
