BarRaider's Stream Deck Tools

C# library that wraps all the communication with the Stream Deck App, allowing you to focus on actually writing the Plugin's logic.

** Samples of plugins using this framework: Samples

Version 2.4.2 is out!

  • Added support for Plugin version inside the StreamDeckInfo class.
  • Current plugin version is now shown in the pluginlog.log log file
  • Publishing through GlobalSettingsManager now raises the GlobalSettingsReceived event by default

Version 2.3 is out!

  • Added support for StreamDeck XL
  1. Connection.DeviceInfo() now gives you information on the device the plugin is on (including the StreamDeckDeviceType)
  2. StreamDeckDeviceType enum now recognizes the StreamDeck XL
  3. KEY_DEFAULT_WIDTH and KEY_DEFAULT_HEIGHT from the Tools module now replaced with dedicated GetKeyDefaultWidth()/GetKeyDefaultHeight() methods based on the StreamDeckDeviceType. This is due to different resoultion on the XL
  • New GlobalSettingsManager class gives you direct access to the Plugin's global settings from anywhere in your code

Features

  • Simplified working with filenames from the Stream Deck SDK. See "Working with files" section below

  • Built-in integration with NLog. Use Logger.LogMessage() for logging.

  • Just call the SDWrapper.Run() and the library will take care of all the overhead

  • Just have your plugin inherit PluginBase and implement the basic functionality. Use the PluginActionId to specify the UUID from the manifest file. (see samples on github page)

  • Optimized for the Stream Deck 4.1 SDK

  • Added support for GlobalSettings (introduced in the 4.1 SDK)

  • Simplified receiving Global Settings updates through the new ReceivedGlobalSettings method

  • Simplified receiving updates from the Property Inspector through the new ReceivedSettings method along with the new Tools.AutoPopulateSettings() method. See the "Auto-populating plugin settings" section below.

  • Introduced a new attribute called PluginActionId to indicate the Action's UUID (See below)

  • Added support to switching plugin profiles.

  • The DeviceId that the plugin is running on is now accessible from the Connection object

How do I use this?

This library wraps all the communication with the Stream Deck App, allowing you to focus on actually writing the Plugin's logic. After creating a C# Console application, using this library requires two steps:

  1. Create a class that inherits the PluginBase abstract class.
    Implement your logic, focusing on the methods provided in the base class.
    Follow the samples here for more details
    New: In version 2.x - use the PluginActionId attribute to indicate the action UUID associated with this class (must match the UUID set in the manifest file)
[PluginActionId("plugin.uuid.from.manifest.file")]
public class MyPlugin : PluginBase
{
	// Create this constructor in your plugin and pass the objects to the PluginBase class
	public MyPlugin(SDConnection connection, InitialPayload payload) : base(connection, payload)
	{
		....
		// TODO: Use the payload.Settings to see the various settings set in the Property Inspector (in my samples, I create a private class that holds the settings)
		// Other relevant settings in the payload include the actual position of the plugin on the Stream Deck
		
		// Note: By passing the `connection` object back to the PluginBase (using the `base` in the constructor), you now have access to a property called `Connection` 
		// throughout your plugin.
	}
			....
			
	// TODO: Implement all the remaining abstract functions from PluginBase (or just leave them empty if you don't need them)
	
	// An example of how easy it is to populate settings in StreamDeck-Tools v2
	public override void ReceivedSettings(ReceivedSettingsPayload payload)
	{
		Tools.AutoPopulateSettings(settings, payload.Settings); // "settings" is a private class that holds the settings for your plugin's instance.
	}
}
  1. In your program.cs, just pass the args you received to the SDWrapper.Run() function, and you're done!
    Note: This process is much easier than the one used in 1.x and is based on using the PluginActionId attribute, as shown in Step 1 above.
    Example:
class Program
{
	static void Main(string[] args)
	{
		SDWrapper.Run(args);
	}
}
  1. There is no step 3 - that's it! The abstract functions from PluginBase that are implemented in MyPlugin hold all the basics needed for a plugin to work. You can always listen to additional events using the Connection property.
