Checking for Dependencies

Manfiest File

Using a Manifest File to check for dependencies is the preferred route if your plugin requires another to work.

Learn how to set dependencies in Manifest files here: Dependencies

Using PluginManager

PluginManager allows you to check if a plugin is running. This is the preferred route if your plugin does not require, but can use features from another plugin.

For example, if you have a feature that links in with another plugin, but does not require the plugin to be installed for yours to work.

This is great for optional features.
