# PluginComponent

The **\<PluginComponent>** allows the UI provided by an external application to be displayed in the application. To implement the update through inter-process communication (IPC), see [@ohos.pluginComponent](../apis/js-apis-plugincomponent.md).


>  **NOTE**
>
> This component is supported since API version 9. Updates will be marked with a superscript to indicate their earliest API version.

## Child Components

Not supported


## APIs

PluginComponent(value: { template: PluginComponentTemplate, data: KVObject})

Creates a **PluginComponent** to display the UI provided by an external application.

**Parameters**

| Name| Type                                                                                                                                                       | Mandatory| Description                                                                                                 |
| ------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| value  | {<br>template:  [PluginComponentTemplate](#plugincomponenttemplate),<br>data: [KVObject](../apis/js-apis-plugincomponent.md#kvobject)<br>} | Yes  | **template**: template of the **PluginComponent**, which is bound to the component defined by the provider.<br>**data**: data passed to the **PluginComponent** provider.|

## PluginComponentTemplate

| Name      | Type  | Description                       |
| ---------- | ------ | --------------------------- |
| source     | string | Component template name.               |
| bundleName | string | Bundle name of the provider ability.|
## Attributes
The [universal attributes](ts-universal-attributes-size.md) are supported, and **size** must be set.

**NOTE**

  The template can be provided in either of the following modes:
* Use an absolute path. In this case, set **source** to the absolute path of the template and leave **bundleName** blank. This mode is not recommende as it is applicable only to standalone templates that do not need to load resources.
* Use an application package. In this case, set **bundleName** to the application bundle name and **source** to the relative path of the HAP file template.

  Example: **{source: 'ets/pages/plugin.js', bundleName: 'com.example.provider'}**

  The template is provided only when **source** can be set to an ability name in the FA model.

  Example: **{source: 'plugin', bundleName: 'com.example.provider'}**


## Events

Only the [gesture event](ts-gesture-settings.md) can be distributed to the provider page and processed inside the provider page.

In addition to the [universal events](ts-universal-events-click.md), the following events are supported.

| Name                                                                                                               | Description                                                              |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| onComplete(callback: () =&gt; void)                                                                  | Triggered when the component loading is complete.                                                    |
| onError(callback: (info: { errcode: number, msg: string }) =&gt; void) | Triggered when an error occurs during component loading.<br>**errcode**: error code.<br>**msg**: error information.|
