The following link has a gallery for useful Qt creator plugins.

But unfortunately, I don't know how to install any of them. For example, how to install artistic code style plugin?
Does Qt creator has a plugin manager like Eclipse that facilitates adding plugins through it?

The Plugin Directory In Qt, when an application starts, the application's executable directory is the base directory where Qt searches for plugins. For example, on Windows, if the application is in C:\Program Files\MyApp and it has a style plugin, Qt looks in C:\Program Files\MyApp\styles .
You can just use Qt Maintenance tool to to add components and to update or remove installed components. Launch Qt Maintenance Tool and choose Add or remove components. Add a tick to the Qt Charts component in your currently installed version of Qt. Click the update button and wait for the process to complete.
Qt's plugin mechanism is meant for plugins that use Qt. It provides a bunch of macros that helps us create the C-function that generates the plugin object and also generates meta information (through moc) as to whether an object implements an interface.
You can find instructions for installation at the bottom of the webpage of Artistic Code Style plugin:
Quick
Move the downloaded zip/tar.bz2 archive to the root directory of Qt Creator and extract it. After a restart of Qt Creator all should work.
Looks like plugins can be found under .\QtCreator\lib\qtcreator\plugins so if you want to install a plugin you just need to copy the files of the plugin (one dll and one pluginspec) there and (re)start Qt Creator.
