Functions to enable plugins

Each plugin in meeting.plugins object is of type DytePlugin and exposes the following functions to enable plugins.

Get Plugin View​

This method adds the communication layer between the plugin inside the WebView and the core SDK (meeting object) in your application.

let plugin = meeting.plugins.active[0]

plugin.getPluginView() // This will return a WebView

The getPluginView() method returns a WebView that can be added to a UIView.

Activate Plugins​

The activate() method activates a plugin for all users in the meeting. When you activate a plugin, it moves into the active plugins map and can be accessed from meeting.plugins.active.

The snippet below retrieves the first plugin from the list and activates it.

var plugin: DytePlugin = meeting.plugins.all[0]

plugin.activate()

This directly activates the plugin without any user interaction.

Activate a plugin on click​

You can also show a list of all plugins and activate a plugin on click programmatically.

func togglePlugin(index: Int) {
  let plugin = plugins[index]
  if plugin.isActive {
      plugin.deactivate()
  }else {
      plugin.activate()
  }
}
