Plugin Meta

Every plugin must have a meta.json file as it contains all the info needed to integrate the plugin into the system.

{
    "description": "Example plugin", 
    "hooks": [], 
    "required_bundles": [], 
    "icon": "", 
    "author_uri": "mailto:[email protected]", 
    "name": "Example", 
    "author": "FABteam", 
    "menu": {
        "/fab_example": {
            "url": "plugin/fab_example", 
            "title": "Example", 
            "icon": "fa-cube"
        }
    }, 
    "plugin_uri": "https://github.com/", 
    "version": "0.10.0", 
    "plugin_slug": "fab_example", 
    "filetypes": []
}

menu - contains menu description. Every attribute represents a menu path. The first level of the path is the first level of the side menu. /fab_example will be displayed below the Plugins menu item. To put the new menu item in one of the existing menus, you can change the path to /make/fab_example and it will be as sub-menu of Make menu item. To create additional sub-menus just create another menu item with the path within the previous one. It is important to also remove the url attribute from the parent menu.

    "menu": {
        "/fab_example": {
            "title": "Example", 
            "icon": "fa-cube"
        },
        "/fab_example/submenu1": {
            "url": "plugin/fab_example", 
            "title": "Sub-menu #1", 
            "icon": "fa-cube"
        }
    },
