Create a plugin template and docs for how to write a plugin
Metadata
Current evaluation
Feature request to add a plugin template and docs for writing Craft Parts plugins. The docs were delivered: create_plugin.rst how-to (PR #928) and document-plugin.rst template, both shipped in the docs index.
Suggested action: close resolved
Reason: The requested documentation now exists in the tree: commit 53eb1b33 ("doc: create new how-to on creating a plugin (#928)") added docs/how-to/create_plugin.rst, later refined by 022d23cb (#1349), and both are published via the "Create a plugin <create_plugin>" entry in docs/how-to/index.rst. The "template" half of the request is covered by docs/how-to/document-plugin.rst (labelled how_to_document_a_plugin), a placeholder-substitution template that is cross-linked from the end of the create-plugin how-to and from docs/reference/plugins.rst. The how-to also embeds a complete worked example plugin inline, so no separate scaffold file was needed — I confirmed craft_parts/plugins/new_dump_plugin.py was never committed, consistent with the doc telling readers to create it themselves.
