interface CKEditorPluginInterface implements PluginInspectionInterface (View source)

Defines an interface for (loading of) CKEditor plugins.

This is the most basic CKEditor plugin interface; it provides the bare minimum information. Solely implementing this interface is not sufficient to be able to enable the plugin though — a CKEditor plugin can either be enabled automatically when a button it provides is present in the toolbar, or when some programmatically defined condition is true. In the former case, implement the CKEditorPluginButtonsInterface interface, in the latter case, implement the CKEditorPluginContextualInterface interface. It is also possible to implement both, for advanced use cases.

Finally, if your plugin must be configurable, you can also implement the CKEditorPluginConfigurableInterface interface.
