Fields

description: &'static str

2026-09-26: One line: what the plugin is.

version: &'static str

2026-09-26: The plugin’s version. First-party plugins carry the crate version.

author: &'static str

author_url: &'static str

2026-09-26: The author’s home on the web. Empty when there is none.

email: &'static str

repository: &'static str

help_url: &'static str

2026-09-26: Documentation for this plugin specifically.

bug_report_url: &'static str

license: &'static str

official: bool

2026-09-26: True for plugins shipped inside Metrale Engine itself.

It drives the TUI’s origin badge, a trust signal. First-party plugins get it from PluginMetadata::metrale; anything built with PluginMetadata::third_party cannot set it.

Implementations

impl PluginMetadata

pub const fn metrale(description: &'static str) -> Self

2026-09-26: A first-party Metrale Engine plugin. Every field except the description is the same for all of them, so this is the one place they are written.

pub const fn third_party( description: &'static str, version: &'static str, author: &'static str, author_url: &'static str, email: &'static str, repository: &'static str, help_url: &'static str, bug_report_url: &'static str, license: &'static str, ) -> Self

2026-09-26: A plugin from outside the Metrale Engine tree. official is forced false.

pub fn rows(&self) -> Vec<(&'static str, &'static str)>

2026-09-26: Label/value pairs for the detail pane, skipping empty values so a missing field does not render a blank row.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for PluginMetadata

fn clone(&self) -> PluginMetadata

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for PluginMetadata

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl PartialEq for PluginMetadata

fn eq(&self, other: &PluginMetadata) -> bool

Tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.
