## Genie Plugins

> You **MUST** have the Vala bindings installed on your system for this to

### Example Genie Plugin

Due to the way `GPlugin.PluginInfo` info works, you must subclass it and set

your values in the new constructor. It is recommended that you define this

class in a namespace to avoid collisions with other plugins.

Like all plugins in GPlugin, Genie plugins must also implement the

`gplugin_query`, `gplugin_load`, and `gplugin_unload` functions. These

functions must be in the global namespace.

The following is a basic Genie plugin.

```genie

uses GPlugin

namespace BasicPlugin

class Info : GPlugin.PluginInfo

construct()

authors : array of string = {"author1"}

Object(

id: "gplugin/genie-basic-plugin",

abi_version: 0x01020304,

name: "basic plugin",

authors: authors,

category: "test",

version: "version",

license_id: "license",

summary: "summary",

website: "website",

description: "description"

)

def gplugin_query(out error : Error) : GPlugin.PluginInfo

error = null

return new BasicPlugin.Info()

def gplugin_load(plugin : GPlugin.Plugin, out error : Error) : bool

error = null

return true

def gplugin_unload(plugin : GPlugin.Plugin, out error : Error) : bool

error = null

return true

```
