Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ LoadType

enum class albert::PluginMetadata::LoadType

strong

The load type of the plugin.

Some plugins have to be treated differently when loading. E.g. a frontends are an integral part of the app, there has to be exactly one frontend which will be loaded before any other plugins. Some other pluins cannot be safely unloaded at runtime (e.g. Python).

Enumerator
User	Plugin should be user (un-)loadable.
Frontend	Loading handled by the core. Requires Frontend interface.
