### Shortcuts
|
||||
|
||||
This plugin type is aimed for people who want to use Shortcuts app to create menu bar items. The Plugin API is pretty much the same as Standard. Create a Shortcut that outputs text in the required format, select this Shortcut in the Shortcuts Plugin section of SwiftBar's Settings, and you are good to go.
|
||||
|
||||
For Shortcuts plugins, SwiftBar provides a handy UI to configure refresh schedule.
|
||||
|
||||
Example Shortcuts:
|
||||
* [SwiftBar: Unsplash Example](https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/3e66b6012aae4cb68290143590eca5b1)
|
||||
* [SwiftBar: Fake Weather Example](https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/bd6b1db2c5ef4a078bd2a9a4f3e0ec09)
|
||||
|
||||
### Ephemeral
|
||||
|
||||
Ephemeral plugins create menu bar items on demand by running SwiftBar's Shortcut action or calling a URL scheme. The Plugin API is pretty much the same as Standard.
|
||||
|
||||
Here are the parameters for the URL scheme:
|
||||
|
||||
- name - this is the plugin name, should be unique
|
||||
- content - this is the markup you want SwiftBar to render
|
||||
- exitafter - this is optional parameter forces plugin to exit after a period of time, set in seconds.. Defaults to 0, which means "don't exit".
|
||||
|
||||
Shortcuts Action is pretty self-explanatory.
|
||||
|
||||
This plugin type is best used for notifications or other temporary menu bar items.
|
||||
|
||||
### Streamable
|
||||
|
||||
Swiftbar launches a separate process for each Streamable plugin, which runs indefinitely until SwiftBar is closed or a failure.
