Custom plugin

It's possible to write a custom plugin, there is a short tutorial how to do it.

At first it's recommended to have cloned repository with runnable application (CLI). In directory where the other plugins are create a directory with your plugin name (in this example we create a plugin named dummy).

$ mkdir dummy && cd dummy

In that directory at least 2 files are required: CMakeLists.txt and Plugins.cpp.

# CMakeLists.txt
build_plugin(dummy SOURCES Plugin.cpp)

// Plugin.cpp
#include "cece/plugin/definition.hpp"
#include "cece/plugin/Api.hpp"

class DummyApi : public cece::plugin::Api { };

CECE_DEFINE_PLUGIN(dummy, DummyApi)

Next step includes the plugin in the build tree. There's a CMake variable CECE_PLUGINS_CUSTOM which contains a list of additional plugins (default is empty) that are built with standard plugins. You can set it from terminal or from GUI.

$ cmake -DCECE_PLUGINS_CUSTOM=dummy ..
