A simple framework for creating plugins in MATLAB to work with your application.
To start using the library, you'll want to define your own custom subclass of plugins.BasePlugin that implements behavior specific to your application
classdef MyPlugin < plugins.BasePlugin
Then anyone who would like to create a plugin for your application should subclass plugins.MyPlugin. Then from within your application, you can gather all user-supplied plugins using the plugins.PluginManager
allplugins = plugins.PluginManager('plugins.MyPlugin')
If you have a GUI application, you can also add a menu item for users to select the plugin to run. Additionally, the menu will include items to manage plugins (updates, info, etc.) and reload all plugins from disk.
hmenu = plugins.PluginMenu(allplugins)
To make creating plugins easier for your users and ensure that they have all the necessary metadata, there is a cookiecutter project.
