Plugin with dependencies #431

Open AlexIzh opened 8 years ago

AlexIzh commented 8 years ago

Hi, I have a question regarding plugins which are not working without another plugins. For example, if I have plugin for PluginPanel(special panel for plugins for Xcode), and user wants to install my plugin, he needs install PluginPanel first. Does Alcatraz have dependecy management feature? Will be cool, if I can add some special field to description of my plugin like: dependencies: [ link_one, link_two]

And when user taps to install to my plugin Alcatraz will install dependencies also

We currently do not have support for this, and I'm not sure if it's common enough for plugins to depend on other plugins for us to build this. Do you have an idea of how many other plugins have this requirement?
