About
-----
Plexhints is a set of tools to aid in the development of plugins for Plex Media Server. It is not a framework, but
rather a set of tools that can be used to make your life easier.

Features
--------
- Python library providing type hints to aid in the development of Plex plugins. Get rid of all those IDE warnings
  and errors!
- A GitHub Action that will install and bootstrap a Plex Media Server in a CI environment. The action can install
  plugins and setup dummy libraries. Additionally the Plex token is provided as an output. This is useful for testing
  your plugin or other Plex project in a CI environment.

:github_url: https://github.com/LizardByte/plexhints/tree/nightly/docs/source/about/usage.rst

Usage
=====
Plexhints can be used by just importing the ``plexhints`` module and running a couple of functions. After doing so
you can use plexhints in your IDE and run most of your code outside of Plex. This is useful for debugging and testing.

Main Entry Point
----------------
Place this at the top of your ``Contents/Code/__init__.py`` file. It is important to only import these when running
outside of Plex.

.. code-block:: python

   # plex debugging
   try:
       import plexhints  # noqa: F401
   except ImportError:
       pass
   else:  # the code is running outside of Plex
       from plexhints import plexhints_setup, update_sys_path
       plexhints_setup()  # reads the plugin plist file and determine if plexhints should use elevated policy or not
       update_sys_path()  # when running outside plex, append the path

Submodules
----------
In files other than the main ``__init__.py`` file, you can simply import the ``plexhints`` module and use it as shown.

.. code-block:: python

   # plex debugging
   try:
       import plexhints  # noqa: F401
   except ImportError:
       pass
   else:  # the code is running outside of Plex
       from plexhints.log_kit import Log
