Sample Rust Plugin

This repository contains a very, very barebones rust plugin, including a manifest and a Makefile.

This is intended as a template for people interested in writing a rust plugin.

Installation

tldr; make install.

To install this plugin, the plugin manifest must be placed in a new directory under $XI_CONFIG_DIR/plugins, where $XI_CONFIG_DIR is the path passed by your client to xi core via the client_started RPC's config_dir field, on startup. On MacOS, by default, $XI_CONFIG_DIR is located at ~/Library/Application Support/XiEditor.

Additionally, the compiled binary should be placed in a bin/ subdir of the directory containing the manifest. (This is the default; the location can be changed in the manifest.)
