Add-ons

Code structure

To create an add-on, you must implement the methods load(ctrl) and unload.

The load(ctrl) is responsible to load the add-on (i.e: add a button to the interface, etc), and receives the application controller (core.MainController).

The unload is called only one time, when the main application is closing, and it's intended to release resources (that needs special care, like files) used by the add-on.

You also need to create an info table with the following members:

• name
• description
• authors
• version

The file addons/Sample.lua implements a very simple add-on, and can be used as base for new add-ons.

Activating the add-on

You can select which add-ons (and their order) that will be loaded when the application starts by editing the list in addons/List.lua.
