## Description

Lists all the plugins that are currently installed. You can install plugins
using the [`docker plugin install`](plugin_install.md) command.
You can also filter using the `-f` or `--filter` flag.
Refer to the [filtering](#filtering) section for more information about available filter options.

## Examples

```console
$ docker plugin ls

ID            NAME                                    DESCRIPTION                ENABLED
69553ca1d123  tiborvass/sample-volume-plugin:latest   A test plugin for Docker   true
```

### Filtering

The filtering flag (`-f` or `--filter`) format is of "key=value". If there is more
than one filter, then pass multiple flags (e.g., `--filter "foo=bar" --filter "bif=baz"`)

The currently supported filters are:

* enabled (boolean - true or false, 0 or 1)
* capability (string - currently `volumedriver`, `networkdriver`, `ipamdriver`, `logdriver`, `metricscollector`, or `authz`)

#### enabled

The `enabled` filter matches on plugins enabled or disabled.

#### capability

The `capability` filter matches on plugin capabilities. One plugin
might have multiple capabilities. Currently `volumedriver`, `networkdriver`,
`ipamdriver`, `logdriver`, `metricscollector`, and `authz` are supported capabilities.

```console
$ docker plugin install --disable vieux/sshfs

Installed plugin vieux/sshfs

$ docker plugin ls --filter enabled=true

ID                  NAME                DESCRIPTION         ENABLED
```

### Formatting

The formatting options (`--format`) pretty-prints plugins output
using a Go template.

Valid placeholders for the Go template are listed below:

Placeholder        | Description
-------------------|------------------------------------------------------------
`.ID`              | Plugin ID
`.Name`            | Plugin name and tag
`.Description`     | Plugin description
`.Enabled`         | Whether plugin is enabled or not
`.PluginReference` | The reference used to push/pull from a registry

When using the `--format` option, the `plugin ls` command will either
output the data exactly as the template declares or, when using the
`table` directive, includes column headers as well.

The following example uses a template without headers and outputs the
`ID` and `Name` entries separated by a colon (`:`) for all plugins:

```console
$ docker plugin ls --format "{{.ID}}: {{.Name}}"

4be01827a72e: vieux/sshfs:latest
```

To list all plugins in JSON format, use the `json` directive:
```console
$ docker plugin ls --format json
{"Description":"sshFS plugin for Docker","Enabled":false,"ID":"856d89febb1c","Name":"vieux/sshfs:latest","PluginReference":"docker.io/vieux/sshfs:latest"}
```
