EditorExportPlugin
==================

**Inherits:** :ref:`RefCounted<class_RefCounted>` **<** :ref:`Object<class_Object>`

A script that is executed when exporting the project.

.. rst-class:: classref-introduction-group

Description
-----------

**EditorExportPlugin**\ s are automatically invoked whenever the user exports the project. Their most common use is to determine what files are being included in the exported project. For each plugin, :ref:`_export_begin<class_EditorExportPlugin_private_method__export_begin>` is called at the beginning of the export process and then :ref:`_export_file<class_EditorExportPlugin_private_method__export_file>` is called for each exported file.

To use **EditorExportPlugin**, register it using the :ref:`EditorPlugin.add_export_plugin<class_EditorPlugin_method_add_export_plugin>` method first.

.. rst-class:: classref-method

:ref:`bool<class_bool>` **_begin_customize_resources**\ (\ platform\: :ref:`EditorExportPlatform<class_EditorExportPlatform>`, features\: :ref:`PackedStringArray<class_PackedStringArray>`\ ) |virtual| |const| :ref:`🔗<class_EditorExportPlugin_private_method__begin_customize_resources>`

Return ``true`` if this plugin will customize resources based on the platform and features used.

When enabled, :ref:`_get_customization_configuration_hash<class_EditorExportPlugin_private_method__get_customization_configuration_hash>` and :ref:`_customize_resource<class_EditorExportPlugin_private_method__customize_resource>` will be called and must be implemented.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. _class_EditorExportPlugin_private_method__begin_customize_scenes:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

:ref:`bool<class_bool>` **_begin_customize_scenes**\ (\ platform\: :ref:`EditorExportPlatform<class_EditorExportPlatform>`, features\: :ref:`PackedStringArray<class_PackedStringArray>`\ ) |virtual| |const| :ref:`🔗<class_EditorExportPlugin_private_method__begin_customize_scenes>`

Return ``true`` if this plugin will customize scenes based on the platform and features used.

When enabled, :ref:`_get_customization_configuration_hash<class_EditorExportPlugin_private_method__get_customization_configuration_hash>` and :ref:`_customize_scene<class_EditorExportPlugin_private_method__customize_scene>` will be called and must be implemented.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. _class_EditorExportPlugin_private_method__customize_resource:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

:ref:`Resource<class_Resource>` **_customize_resource**\ (\ resource\: :ref:`Resource<class_Resource>`, path\: :ref:`String<class_String>`\ ) |virtual| :ref:`🔗<class_EditorExportPlugin_private_method__customize_resource>`

Customize a resource. If changes are made to it, return the same or a new resource. Otherwise, return ``null``.

The *path* argument is only used when customizing an actual file, otherwise this means that this resource is part of another one and it will be empty.

Implementing this method is required if :ref:`_begin_customize_resources<class_EditorExportPlugin_private_method__begin_customize_resources>` returns ``true``.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

Customize a scene. If changes are made to it, return the same or a new scene. Otherwise, return ``null``. If a new scene is returned, it is up to you to dispose of the old one.

Implementing this method is required if :ref:`_begin_customize_scenes<class_EditorExportPlugin_private_method__begin_customize_scenes>` returns ``true``.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

Virtual method to be overridden by the user. It is called when the export starts and provides all information about the export. ``features`` is the list of features for the export, ``is_debug`` is ``true`` for debug builds, ``path`` is the target path for the exported project. ``flags`` is only used when running a runnable profile, e.g. when using native run on Android.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

Virtual method to be overridden by the user. Called for each exported file before :ref:`_customize_resource<class_EditorExportPlugin_private_method__customize_resource>` and :ref:`_customize_scene<class_EditorExportPlugin_private_method__customize_scene>`. The arguments can be used to identify the file. ``path`` is the path of the file, ``type`` is the :ref:`Resource<class_Resource>` represented by the file (e.g. :ref:`PackedScene<class_PackedScene>`), and ``features`` is the list of features for the export.
