Create your own

  1. Clone the repository code.
  2. Create a new project with the target framework net8.0-windows.
  3. Add 'CurvaLauncher.Plugin' to the project reference.
  4. Create a plugin class that implements the ISyncPlugin or IAsyncPlugin interface.
  5. Implement the interface members, and write the main logic.

Tip: Synchronous and asynchronous plug-ins indicate whether your plug-in performs queries synchronously or asynchronously. You can choose one of them based on your plug-in logic. Query results are also divided into synchronous and asynchronous, just inherit the corresponding QueryResult.

For example, a translator plug-in returns immediately after triggering a keyword. It does not require any asynchronous operation, so the plug-in is synchronous. However, when the user presses Enter to perform a translation operation, this process requires a network request. In other words, this plug-in The result is asynchronous, so you should use ISyncPlugin and AsyncQueryResult to implement this plugin.
