OctoPrint Plugin Skeleton
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
This is a basic plugin skeleton that you can use as a basis for your own OctoPrint plugin.
|
|
|
|
You can copy the files to a folder of your choice, or just clone this repository, renaming it in the process, and check
|
|
it out. Then modify ``setup.py`` to fit your plugin, rename ``octoprint_skeleton`` accordingly and finally implement
|
|
your plugin under ``octoprint_<plugin identifier>``.
|
|
|
|
Example Usage
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
Clone your repository into a new development directory and rename ``octoprint_skeleton``:
|
|
|
|
git clone https://github.com/OctoPrint/OctoPrint-PluginSkeleton OctoPrint-MyNewPlugin
|
|
cd OctoPrint-MyNewPlugin
|
|
mv octoprint_skeleton octoprint_mynewplugin
|
|
|
|
Modify `setup.py`'s `plugin_<xyz>` settings so that they match your plugin, e.g.:
|
|
|
|
``` python
|
|
plugin_identifier = "mynewplugin"
|
|
plugin_name = "OctoPrint-MyNewPlugin"
|
|
plugin_version = "1.0"
|
|
plugin_description = "Awesome plugin that does something"
|
|
plugin_author = "You"
|
|
plugin_author_email = "you@somewhere.net"
|
|
plugin_url = "https://github.com/you/OctoPrint-MyNewPlugin"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then implement your plugin under ``octoprint_mynewplugin`` (don't forget to adjust ``__init__.py``!), e.g.:
|
|
|
|
``` python
|
|
# coding=utf-8
|
|
from __future__ import absolute_import
|
|
|
|
import octoprint.plugin
|
|
|
|
class HelloWorldPlugin(octoprint.plugin.StartupPlugin):
|
|
def on_after_startup(self):
|
|
self._logger.info("Hello World!")
|
|
|
|
__plugin_name__ = "Hello World"
|
|
__plugin_implementations__ = [HelloWorldPlugin()]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Test it (e.g. via ``python setup.py develop``). If everything works, write a nice ``README.md``, replacing the existing one.
|
|
Commit your code, then push it to your plugin's repository (this assumes you already created it on Github as
|
|
``you/OctoPrint-MyNewPlugin``), e.g.:
|
|
|
|
git commit -a -m "Initial commit of MyNewPlugin"
|
|
git remote set-url origin git@github.com:you/OctoPrint-MyNewPlugin.git
|
|
git push -u origin master
|
|
|
|
Congratulations, you are now the proud maintainer of a new OctoPrint plugin! :) Don't forget to add an entry to the
|
|
[wiki](https://github.com/foosel/OctoPrint/wiki#plugins) once it's suitable for general consumption, so that other's
|
|
may find it!
