## Detailed Description

The `Qt.plugin_support` module provides properties that allow users to control which Qt plugins to pull into a product. This is mostly relevant if Qt was built statically, in which case the respective plugins are static libraries that get linked into your application or library.

## Property Documentation

allPluginsByType : var `[read-only]`

Provides the complete set of plugins in a statically built Qt. The value is a map. The keys are the plugin types, and the values are lists of plugin names.

defaultPluginsByType : var `[read-only]`

Provides the set of plugins that your application or library will link to if you do not set pluginsByType. The value is a map. The keys are the plugin types, and the values are lists of plugin names. The value depends on the Qt modules your product pulls in.

linkPlugins : bool

Controls whether plugins of a statically built Qt should be linked into the product.

Default: `true` if the product is an application or shared library, `false` otherwise.

pluginsByType : varList

Set this property if you want to override the set of plugins for a certain plugin type. For instance, to disable all image plugins except the JPEG one:

     Qt.plugin_support.pluginsByType: ({imageformats: "qjpeg"})

For plugin types that are not specifically overridden like this, the value in defaultPluginsByType is used.

Default: Undefined
