Qt install requirement

[elviosak]

@master-atul from what i understood looking at this and other plugin examples, u would need Qt installed for creating a plugin that uses a module not included in qode, but since it's compiled when the npm module is installed, wouldn't anyone using the plugin also need Qt installed in their system (or the required libs shipped with the plugin npm module)?

Hi @slidinghotdog
Yes you are right, qode doesnt have all qt libs but very basic ones required for most apps. This is by design.
The idea is that each plugin can package its own required libs. That is the reason each plugin has its own cmake file. By architecture, the plugins link to the core nodegui lib dynamically.

I am yet to extract out the logic from qode and use it in the plugins. That is the main reason webview plugin is paused for now till I come back from vacation. Once webview plugin becomes ready we will have a standardised way of packaging external dlls. If you have time feel free to contribute on this. :)

I think there is a thrid party svg plugin created by another dev that already does it.
