Raw, low-level interface that the dashboard plugins need to implement.

**Signature:**

```typescript
export type IDashboardPluginContract_V1 = DashboardPluginDescriptor & {
    readonly _pluginVersion: "1.0";
    onPluginLoaded?(ctx: DashboardContext, parameters?: string): Promise<void> | void;
    register(ctx: DashboardContext, customize: IDashboardCustomizer, eventing: IDashboardEventHandling): void;
    onPluginUnload?(ctx: DashboardContext): Promise<void> | void;
};
```

## Remarks

Through this interface the plugin communicates its metadata and provides functions that will be used by dashboard loader to obtain plugins customizations and contributions to apply on top of the [Dashboard()](https://www.gooddata.ai/docs/gooddata-ui/latest/api-reference/sdk-ui-dashboard/sdk-ui-dashboard.dashboard/index.md) Component.
