# Skeleton -- a Kanboard plugin template
A minimal, working Kanboard plugin that you copy and rename as the starting point for a
real plugin. By itself it does only one trivial thing: it renders the word "Skeleton" at
the top of every page. It changes no data and runs no database migration.
## What it demonstrates
- A complete `Plugin.php` registration class with all the metadata Kanboard shows in
Settings -> Plugins (name, description, author, version, homepage, compatible version).
- A template hook (`template:layout:top`) that injects a template into the page.
- Asset hooks (`template:layout:css` and `template:layout:js`) that load a stylesheet and
a script. They are empty for now but prove the injection path works -- handy when a real
plugin needs custom CSS or JS.
- The standard plugin directory layout, with stub folders (`Controller/`, `Model/`,
`Schema/`, `Locale/`, `Test/`) ready to grow into.
## Requirements
- Kanboard >= 1.2.0
## Installation
No build step and no dependencies.
1. Copy this folder into your Kanboard installation as `plugins/Skeleton/`.
2. Reload any page. The word "Skeleton" appears at the top.
3. Confirm it under Settings -> Plugins.
To uninstall, delete `plugins/Skeleton/`. Nothing else is left behind.
## Directory layout

## How to fork this into a new plugin
1. Copy the folder and rename it, e.g. `plugins/MyPlugin/`. The folder name must match the
namespace and start with a capital letter.
2. In `Plugin.php`, change the namespace from `Kanboard\Plugin\Skeleton` to
`Kanboard\Plugin\MyPlugin`.
3. Update the metadata methods (`getPluginName`, `getPluginDescription`, `getPluginAuthor`,
`getPluginVersion`, `getPluginHomepage`, `getCompatibleVersion`).
4. Update the hook target paths: the lowercase prefix in `'skeleton:layout/header'` and the
`plugins/Skeleton/Asset/...` asset paths must match the new plugin name.
5. Replace `Template/layout/header.php` with your real template, or attach to a different
hook. See the Kanboard plugin hooks documentation for the full list of hook points.
