Plugins

A plugin is a separate addon that adds its own module to EldoUI. It gets a settings page in the EldoUI config window, a row on the Plugins page (title, version, author, on/off switch), optional setup pages in the installer, a line in /eui diag and the version check. Everything goes through the global EldoUI, the same calls EldoUI's own modules use, so a plugin looks and behaves like the rest of the UI.

The smallest plugin is a .toc that depends on EldoUI:

## Interface: 16001
## Title: My Bars
## Dependencies: EldoUI

and a module:

local M = EldoUI:NewModule("MyBars", {
	title = "My Bars",
	desc = "Two extra bars.",
	plugin = "MyBars",
	defaults = { enabled = true },
})

function M:OnEnable()
	self:Print("Hello from a plugin.")
end

Plugins follow the same rules as EldoUI: change how things look and where they sit, show only what the game gives addons, never automate gameplay, and use EldoUI's design kit instead of their own colors and fonts.

Full guide

The plugin API, the plugin record, settings and setup pages, hooks, the version check and a checklist before you publish are in the plugin guide.

In game, /eui plugins opens the Plugins page and /eui plugins list prints the loaded plugins.
