# Configuration
Class configuration is done by overriding the `set_defaults()` method. This method is called by the constructor, so you can safely use `$this->` in it.
```php
protected function set_defaults() {
$this->name = 'My Plugin';
$this->slug = 'my-plugin';
$this->version = '1.0.0';
$this->db_version = '1.0.0';
$this->has_db_tables = true;
}
```
## name
The plugin name.
This is used mainly for Admin notices
?> This can be safely changed at any time.
## slug
The plugin slug.
This is used for the plugin's option names, and hooks in the installer class
!> Changing the slug after the plugin has been installed will cause the plugin to be reinstalled.
## version
The plugin version.
This is used in order to determine if the plugin needs to be updated.
?> You can define this either by using an external constant, or by hardcoding it in the installer class.
## db_version
The database schema version.
Database schema version is used in order to determine if the database schema needs to be updated.
Incrementing this value will run the update callbacks
## has_db_tables
Whether the plugin has database tables.
If this is set to `true`, the installer will create and update the database tables.
?> If you set this to `true`, you need to implement the `get_schema()` method - since by default it returns an empty string.
