-When writing a plugin, you will find a couple of functions or macros which are mandatory
-and some which are free to use for implementing some useful feature once your plugin

+ at note This section describes the new entry points for plugins introduced with Geany 1.26. A short
+summary of the legacy entry points is given at page @ref legacy but they are deprecated should not
+be used any more.
-You should start your plugin with including some of the needed C header files and defining

-API in a more comfortable way.
+When writing a plugin you will find a couple of functions which are mandatory and some which can be
+implemented optionally for implementing some useful features once your plugin becomes more
+powerful. For example to provide a configuration or help dialog.
-Let's start with the very basic headers and add more later if necessary.
- at code
-#include <geanyplugin.h>
- at endcode
+ at subsection beginning First steps for any Plugin
+
+You should start your plugin with including <geanyplugin.h> and exporting a function named @a
+geany_load_module(). In this function you must fill in basic information that Geany uses to learn
+more about your plugin and present it to the user. You also must define some hooks that enable
+Geany to actually execute your code.
- at a geanyplugin.h includes all of the Geany API and also the necessary GTK header files,
-so there is no need to include @a gtk/gtk.h yourself.
+Please also do not forget about license headers which are by convention at the start of source
+files. You can use templates provided by Geany to get started. Without a proper license it will be
+difficult for packagers to pick up and distribute your plugin.
- at note
- at a plugindata.h contains the biggest part of the plugin API and provides some basic macros.
+As mentioned above, start with the very fundamental header that gets you all goodies of Geany's
+plugin API. @a geanyplugin.h includes all of the Geany API and also the necessary GTK header
+files so there is no need to include @a gtk/gtk.h yourself. In fact it includes a utility header
+that helps supporting GTK+2 and GTK+3 in the same source.
-Then you should define two basic variables which will give access to data fields
-provided by the plugin API.
@code
-GeanyPlugin *geany_plugin;
-GeanyData *geany_data;
+#include <geanyplugin.h>
@endcode
-Now you can go on and write your first lines for your new plugin. As mentioned before,
-you will need to implement and fill out a couple of functions/macros to make the plugin work.
-So let's start with PLUGIN_VERSION_CHECK().
+ at note If you use autoconf then config.h must be included even before that as usual.
+
+Now you can go on and write your first lines for your new plugin. As mentioned before, you will
+need to implement a couple of functions. The first mandatory one is @a geany_load_module(). Geany
+uses the presence fo this function to identify a library as a plugin. When Geany scans the
+pre-defined and user-configured plugin directories, it will take a look at each shared library (or
+DLL on Windows) to see if it exports a @a geany_load_module() symbol. Files lacking these will be
+ignored. The second mandatory one is an initialization function that is only called when the plugin
+becomes actually enabled (by the user or at startup).
+
+ at subsection register Registering a Plugin
+
+Geany will always invoke this geany_load_module(), regardless of whether the user activates your
+plugin. In fact its purpose to probe if the plugin should even be presented to the user. Therefore
+you must use this function to register your plugin. Geany will pass a pointer to a GeanyPlugin
+instance which acts as a unique handle to your plugin. Use this pointer for registering and later
+API calls. It won't change for the life time of the plugin. Registering the plugin consists of a
+number of steps:
+
+ 1. Filling in GeanyPlugin::info with metadata that is shown to the user.
+ - @ref PluginInfo::name : The name of your plugin
+ - @ref PluginInfo::description : A brief description.
+ - @ref PluginInfo::version : The plugin's version.
+ - @ref PluginInfo::author : Your contact information, preferably in the form "Name <email>".
+ .
+ Filling in all of them is recommended to provide the best user experience, but only the name is
+ truly mandatory. Since all of the strings are shown to the user they should be human readable.
+ 2. Filling in GeanyPlugin::funcs with function pointers that are called by Geany.
+ - @ref GeanyPluginFuncs::init : an initialization function
+ - @ref GeanyPluginFuncs::cleanup : a finalization function
+ - @ref GeanyPluginFuncs::configure : a function that provides configuration (optional)
+ - @ref GeanyPluginFuncs::help : a function that provides help (optional)
+ - @ref GeanyPluginFuncs::callbacks : a pointer to an array of PluginCallback (optional).
+ .
+ @a init and @a cleanup are mandatory, the other ones depend on how advanced your plugin is.
+ Furthermore, @a init is called on startup and when the user activates your plugin in the Plugin
+ Manager, and @a cleanup is called on exit and when the user deactivates it. So use these to do
+ advanced initialization and teardown as to not waste resources when the plugin is not even
+ enabled.
+ 3. Actually registering by calling GEANY_PLUGIN_REGISTER() or GEANY_PLUGIN_REGISTER_FULL().
+ - Usually you should use GEANY_PLUGIN_REGISTER() to register your plugin, passing the
+ GeanyPlugin pointer that you received and filled out as above. GEANY_PLUGIN_REGISTER() also
+ takes the minimum API version number you want to support (see @ref versions for details). Please
+ also <b>check the return value</b>. Geany may refuse to load your plugin due to
+ incompatibilities, you should then abort any extra setup. GEANY_PLUGIN_REGISTER() is a macro
+ wrapping geany_plugin_register() which takes additional the API and ABI that you should not pass
+ manually.
+ - If you require a plugin-specific context or state to be passed to your GeanyPlugin::funcs then
+ use GEANY_PLUGIN_REGISTER_FULL() to register. This one takes additional parameters for adding
+ user data to your plugin. That user data pointer is subsequently passed back to your functions.
+ It allows, for example, to set instance pointer to objects in case your plugin isn't written in
+ pure C, enabling you to use member functions as plugin functions. You may also set such data
+ later on, for example in your @ref GeanyPluginFuncs::init routine to defer costly allocations
+ to when the plugin is actually activated by the user. However, you then have to call
+ geany_plugin_set_data().
+
+
+ at subsection versions On API and ABI Versions
+As previously mentioned @a geany_plugin_register() takes a number of versions as arguments:
+ 1. api_version
+ 2. min_api_version
+ 3. abi_version
+
+These refer to Geany's versioning scheme to manage plugin compatibility. The following rules apply:
+ - Plugins are compiled against a specific Geany version on the build machine. This version of
+ Geany has specific ABI and API versions, which will be compiled into the plugin. Both are
+ managed automatically, by calling GEANY_PLUGIN_REGISTER().
+ - The Geany version that loads the plugin may be different, possibly even have different API and
+ ABI versions.
+ - The ABI version is the primary plugin compatibility criteria. The ABI version of the running
+ Geany and the one that's compiled into the plugin must match exactly (==). In case of mismatch,
+ the affected plugins need to be recompiled (generally without source code changes) against the
+ running Geany. The ABI is usually stable even across multiple releases of Geany.
+ - The API version is secondary. It doesn't have to match exactly, however a plugin can report
+ a minimum API version that it requires to run. Geany will check if its own API is larger than
+ that (>=) and will otherwise refuse to load the plugin. The API version is incremented when
+ functions or variables are added to the API which often happens more than once within a release
+ cycle.
+ - The API version the plugin is compiled against is still relevant for enabling compatibility
+ code inside Geany (for cases where incrementing the ABI version could be avoided).
+
+Instead of calling geany_plugin_register() directly it is very highly recommended to use
+GEANY_PLUGIN_REGISTER(). This is a convenient way to pass Geany's current API and ABI versions
+without requiring future code changes whenever either one changes. In fact, the promise that
+plugins need to be just recompiled on ABI change can hold if the plugins use this macro. You still
+want to pass the API version needed at minimum to run your plugin. The value is defined in
+plugindata.h by @ref GEANY_API_VERSION. In most cases this should be your minimum. Nevertheless when
+setting this value, you should choose the lowest possible version here to make the plugin
+compatible with a bigger number of versions of Geany. The absolute minimum is 225 which introduced
+the new plugin entry points.
+
+To increase your flexibility the API version of the running Geany is passed to geany_load_module().
+You can use this information to toggle API-specific code. This comes handy, for example to enable
+optional code that requires a recent API version without raising your minimum required API version.
+This enables running the plugin against more Geany versions, although perhaps at reduced
+functionality.
+
+ at subsection example Example
+
+Going back to our "Hello World" plugin here is example code that properly adds the HelloWorld
+plugin to Geany.
-PLUGIN_VERSION_CHECK() is a convenient way to tell Geany which version of Geany's plugin API
-is needed at minimum to run your plugin. The value is defined in
- at a plugindata.h by @a GEANY_API_VERSION. In most cases this should be your minimum.
-Nevertheless when setting this value, you should choose the lowest possible version here to
-make the plugin compatible with a bigger number of versions of Geany.
+ at code
+/* License blob */
-For the next step, you will need to tell Geany some basic information about your plugin
-which will be shown in the plugin manager dialog.
+#include <geanyplugin.h>
-To do this you should use the PLUGIN_SET_INFO() macro, which expects 4 parameters:
-- Plugin name
-- Short description
-- Version
-- Author
-Based on this, the line could look like:
- at code
-PLUGIN_SET_INFO("HelloWorld", "Just another tool to say hello world",
- "1.0", "John Doe <john.doe at example.org>");
- at endcode
+static gboolean hello_init(GeanyPlugin *plugin, gpointer pdata)
+{
+ printf("Hello World from plugin!\n");
-Once this is done, you will need to implement the function which will be executed when the
-plugin is loaded. Part of that function could be adding and removing of an item to
-Geany's Tools menu, setting up keybindings or registering some callbacks. Also you will
-need to implement the function that is called when your plugin is unloaded.
-These functions are called plugin_init() and plugin_cleanup(). Let's see what this
-looks like:
- at code
-PLUGIN_VERSION_CHECK(211)
+ /* Perform advanced set up here */
+
+ return TRUE;
+}
-PLUGIN_SET_INFO("HelloWorld", "Just another tool to say hello world",

-void plugin_init(GeanyData *data)
+static void hello_cleanup(GeanyPlugin *plugin, gpointer pdata)
{
+ printf("Bye World :-(\n");
}
-void plugin_cleanup(void)

+G_MODULE_EXPORT

+ /* Step 1: Set metadata */

+ at page legacy Porting guide from legacy entry points to the current ones
+
+ at section intro_legacy Introduction
+
+This page briefly describes the deprecated, legacy plugin entry points. These have been in place
+prior to Geany 1.26 and are still loadable and working for the time being. However, do not create
+new plugins against these. For this reason, the actual description here is rather minimalistic and
+concentrates on porting legacy plugins to the new interface. Basically it's main purpose
+is to give newcomers an idea of what they are looking at if they come across a legacy plugin.
+
+ at section overview Overview
+
+The legacy entry points consist of a number of pre-defined symbols (functions and variables)
+exported by plugins. There is no active registration procedure. It is implicit simply by exporting
+the mandatory symbols. The entirety of the symbols is described at the page @link pluginsymbols.c
+Plugin Symbols @endlink.
+
+At the very least plugins must define the functions @a plugin_init(GeanyData *) and @a
+plugin_version_check(gint). Additionally, an instance of the struct PluginInfo named plugin_info
+must be exported as well, this contains the same metadata already known from GeanyPlugin::info. The
+functions plugin_cleanup(), plugin_help(), plugin_configure(GtkDialog *) and
+plugin_configure_single(GtkWidget *) are optional, however Geany prints a warning if
+plugin_cleanup() is missing and only one of plugin_configure(GtkDialog *) and
+plugin_configure_single(GtkWidget *) is used for any single plugin.
+
+By convention, plugin_version_check() is implicitely defined through the use of PLUGIN_VERSION_CHECK(),
+and similarly plugin_info is defined through PLUGIN_SET_INFO() or PLUGIN_SET_TRANSLATABLE_INFO().
+
+The functions should generally perform the same tasks as their eqivalents in GeanyPlugin::funcs.
+
+Geany also recognized numerous variable fields if the plugin exported them globally, and actually
+set a few of them inside the plugins data section.
+
+ at section porting Porting a Legacy Plugin
+
+Given a legacy plugin it can be modified to use the new entry points without much effort. This
+section gives a basic recipe that should work for most existing plugins. The transition should
+be easy and painless so it is recommended that you adapt your plugin as soon as possible.
+
+ at note This guide is intentionally minimalistic (in terms of suggested code changes) in order to
+allow adaption to the current entry points as quickly as possible and without a lot effort. It
+should also work even for rather complex plugins comprising multiple source files. On the other hand
+it does not make use of new features such as geany_plugin_set_data().
+
+ at subsection functions Functions
+
+Probably the biggest hurdle is the dropped support of the long-deprecated
+plugin_configure_single(). This means you first have to port the configuration dialog (if any) to
+the combined plugin dialog. While you previously created a custom dialog you now attach the main
+widget of that dialog to the combined plugin dialog simply by returning it from
+GeanyPluginFuncs::configure. You don't actually add it, Geany will do that for you. The pointer to
+the dialog is passed to @a configure simply to allow you to connect to its "response" or "close"
+signals.
+
+The following lists the function mapping of previous @a plugin_* functions to the new @a
+GeanyPlugin::funcs. They are semantically the same, however the new functions receive more
+parameters which you may use or not.
+
+ - plugin_init() => GeanyPlugin->funcs->init
+ - plugin_cleanup() => GeanyPlugin->funcs->cleanup
+ - plugin_help() => GeanyPlugin->funcs->help
+ - plugin_configure() => GeanyPlugin->funcs->configure
+
+ at note @ref GeanyPluginFuncs::init() should return a boolean value: whether or not the plugin loaded
+succesfully. Since legacy plugins couldn't fail in plugin_init() you should return @c TRUE
+unconditionally.
+
+ at note Again, plugin_configure_single() is not supported anymore.
+
+ at subsection Variables
+
+Exported global variables are not recognized anymore. They are replaced in the following ways:
+
+ at ref plugin_info is simply removed. Instead, you have to assign the values to GeanyPlugin::info
+yourself, and it must be done inside your @a geany_load_module().
+
+Example:
+
+ at code
+PLUGIN_SET_INFO(
+ "HelloWorld",
+ "Just another tool to say hello world",
+ "1.0", "John Doe <john.doe at example.org>");
+ at endcode
+
+becomes
+
+ at code
+G_MODULE_EXPORT
+void geany_load_module(GeanyPlugin *plugin)
+{
+// ...
+ plugin->info->name = "HelloWorld";
+ plugin->info->description = "Just another tool to say hello world";
+ plugin->info->version = "1.0";
+ plugin->info->author = "John Doe <john.doe at example.org>";
+// ...
+}
+ at endcode
+ at note Refer to @ref translatable_plugin_information for i18n support for the metadata.
+
+
+The @ref plugin_callbacks array is supported by assigning the GeanyPluginFuncs::callbacks to
+the array.
+
+ at ref plugin_fields is not supported anymore. Use ui_add_document_sensitive() instead.
+ at ref PLUGIN_KEY_GROUP and @ref plugin_key_group are also not supported anymore. Use
+plugin_set_key_group() and keybindings_set_item() respectively.
+
+Additionally, Geany traditionally set a few variables. This is not the case anymore. @ref
+geany_functions has been removed in 1.25 and since then existed only for compatibility and has been
+empty. You can simply remove its declaration from your source code. @ref geany_plugin is passed to
+each @ref GeanyPluginFuncs function. You need to store it yourself somewhere if you need it
+elsewhere. @ref geany_data is now available as a member of GeanyPlugin.
+
+ at code
+GeanyPlugin *geany_plugin;
+GeanyData *geany_data;
+
+static gboolean my_init(GeanyPlugin *plugin, gpointer pdata)
+{
+// ...
+ geany_plugin = plugin;
+ geany_data = plugin->geany_data;
+ return TRUE;
+}
+ at endcode
+
+ at ref geany_plugin is now also passed by default to the PluginCallback signal handlers as data
+pointer if it's set to NULL.
+
+ at code
+static PluginCallback plugin_callbacks[] = {
+ { "editor-notify", (GCallback) &on_editor_notify_cb, FALSE, NULL },
+// ...
+};
+
+static gboolean on_editor_notify_cb(GObject *object, GeanyEditor *editor,
+ SCNotification *nt, gpointer data)
+{
+ GeanyPlugin *plugin = data;
+//...
+}
+
+
+G_MODULE_EXPORT
+void geany_load_module(GeanyPlugin *plugin)
+{
+// ...
+ plugin->funcs->callbacks = plugin_callbacks;
+// ...
+}
}
@endcode
- at note If you've previously called the PLUGIN_SET_TRANSLATABLE_INFO() you do not
-need to call main_locale_init() yourself, as this has been already been
-done for you.
