# Add-on Template for Blender 4.2
This is a basic template for creating add-ons for Blender 4.2. It includes essential files and a basic structure to help you get started quickly.
## File Structure
```
addon_template_4_2/
├── .gitignore
├── build.bat
├── LICENSE
├── README.md
└── source/
├── blender_manifest.toml
└── __init__.py
```
### build.bat
A batch script to build the add-on into a ZIP file for distribution. It runs the following command:
```bat
"C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender 4.2\blender.exe" -c extension build --source-dir=./source
```
### source/
Contains the main code and metadata for the add-on.
- **blender_manifest.toml**: Defines the add-on's metadata including ID, version, name, description, maintainer, compatible Blender versions, and more.
Example content:
```toml
schema_version = "1.0.0"
id = "addon_name_id"
version = "1.0.0"
name = "Add-on Name"
tagline = "A short description of the add-on."
maintainer = "Maintainer Name "
type = "add-on"
website = "https://example.com or GitHub repository"
tags = [
"Node", "Pipeline", "User Interface"
]
blender_version_min = "4.2.0"
license = [
"SPDX:GPL-3.0-or-later",
]
copyright = [
"2024, Maintainer Name",
]
```
- **\_\_init\_\_.py**: The main script file for the add-on. This file is executed when the add-on is loaded into Blender.
## Building the Add-on
To build the add-on into a ZIP file, run the `build.bat` script. This will package the contents of the `source/` directory into a ZIP file that can be installed in Blender.
