Struct Config 

pub struct Config {

    pub name: &'static str,
    pub category: Category,
    pub vendor: &'static str,
    pub url: &'static str,
    pub email: &'static str,
    pub version: &'static str,
    pub has_editor: bool,
    pub subcategories: &'static [Subcategory],
    pub manufacturer: FourCharCode,
    pub subtype: FourCharCode,
    pub vst3_id: Option<[u32; 4]>,
    pub vst3_controller_id: Option<[u32; 4]>,
    pub sysex_slots: usize,
    pub sysex_buffer_size: usize,
}

Unified plugin configuration.

Contains all plugin metadata: shared fields (name, vendor, category), plugin identity (AU four-char codes), and format-specific settings (VST3 component UIDs). The VST3 component UID is derived automatically from the AU codes via FNV-1a hash unless explicitly overridden.

Example

use beamer_core::{Config, config::Category};

pub static CONFIG: Config = Config::new("My Plugin", Category::Effect, "Mfgr", "plgn")
    .with_vendor("My Company")
    .with_version(env!("CARGO_PKG_VERSION"));

Fields

name: &'static str

Plugin name displayed in the DAW.

category: Category

Plugin category (effect, instrument, etc.)

vendor: &'static str

Vendor/company name.

url: &'static str

Vendor URL.

email: &'static str

Vendor email.

version: &'static str

Plugin version string.

has_editor: bool

Whether this plugin has an editor/GUI.

subcategories: &'static [Subcategory]

Plugin subcategories for more specific classification.

manufacturer: FourCharCode

Manufacturer code (4-character identifier for your company/brand).

subtype: FourCharCode

Subtype code (4-character identifier for this specific plugin).

vst3_id: Option<[u32; 4]>

Explicit VST3 component UID override. When None, the UID is derived from the manufacturer and subtype codes via FNV-1a hash.

vst3_controller_id: Option<[u32; 4]>

Explicit VST3 controller UID. When None, the plugin uses the combined component pattern (processor + controller in one object).

sysex_slots: usize

Number of SysEx output slots per process block (AU and VST3).

sysex_buffer_size: usize

Maximum size of each SysEx message in bytes (AU and VST3).

Implementations

impl Config

pub const fn new( name: &'static str, category: Category, manufacturer_code: &str, plugin_code: &str, ) -> Self

Create a new plugin configuration.

Arguments

• name - Plugin name displayed in the DAW
• category - Plugin category (effect, instrument, etc.)
• manufacturer_code - 4-character manufacturer code (e.g., “Bmer”)
• plugin_code - 4-character plugin code (e.g., “gain”)

Panics

Panics at compile time if manufacturer_code or plugin_code are not exactly 4 ASCII characters.

Example

pub static CONFIG: Config = Config::new("My Plugin", Category::Effect, "Mfgr", "plgn")
    .with_vendor("My Company")
    .with_version(env!("CARGO_PKG_VERSION"));

pub const fn vst3_uid_parts(&self) -> [u32; 4]

Get VST3 component UID as [u32; 4].

Returns the explicit override if set via with_vst3_id(), otherwise derives a UID from the manufacturer and subtype codes via FNV-1a hash.

pub const fn vst3_controller_uid_parts(&self) -> Option<[u32; 4]>

Get VST3 controller UID as [u32; 4], if split component/controller mode is enabled.

pub const fn manufacturer_u32(&self) -> u32

Get the manufacturer code as a u32.

pub const fn subtype_u32(&self) -> u32

Get the subtype code as a u32.

pub fn vst3_subcategories(&self) -> String

Build the VST3 subcategories string.

Combines the main category with subcategories using pipe separators. For example: Category::Effect with [Subcategory::Dynamics] becomes "Fx|Dynamics".

pub fn au_tags(&self) -> Vec<&'static str>

Get AU tags derived from subcategories.

Returns tags for subcategories that have AU equivalents. Subcategories without AU mappings are skipped.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for Config

fn clone(&self) -> Config

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for Config

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.
