How to use

Step by step:

• step 1: After installing and enabling the plugin, go to the "Easy Interface" tab.

• step 2: Create and edit a new interface using the "new interface" button, by default there are two example interfaces.

  Don't forget to save, the plugin still doesn't save automatically

• step 3: Go to the script that you want to implement the interface and add a constant named INTERFACES (check the demo script).

• step 4: Go back to the "Easy Interface" tab and click on the "Validate" button. This step is temporary, validation and automatic saving are still under development.

Try commenting the properties, functions and signals in the demo script and performing validations to see the result

I intend to update the plugin as I use it, any suggestions and changes that make sense would be welcome in the project.
