### Note
Copy the example and rename it to your desired name. Plugins define a ui target slot with the 'ui_target' requests data but don't have to if not directly interacted with.
Plugins must have a run method defined; though, you do not need to necessarily do anything within it. The run method implies that the passed in event system or other data is ready for the plugin to use.
### Manifest Example (All are required even if empty.)
```
class Manifest:
name: str = "Example Plugin"
author: str = "John Doe"
version: str = "0.0.1"
support: str = ""
requests: {} = {
'ui_target': "plugin_control_list",
'pass_fm_events': "true"
}
```
### Requests
```
requests: {} = {
'ui_target': "plugin_control_list",
'ui_target_id': "<some other Gtk Glade ID>", # Only needed if using "other" in "ui_target". See below for predefined "ui_target" options...
'pass_fm_events': "true", # If empty or not present will be ignored.
"pass_ui_objects": [""], # Request reference to a UI component. Will be passed back as array to plugin.
'bind_keys': [f"{name}||send_message:<Control>f"],
f"{name}||do_save:<Control>s"] # Bind keys with method and key pare using list. Must pass "name" like shown with delimiter to its right.
}
```
UI Targets:
<ul>
<li>main_Window</li>
