Welcome to the development guide for Autobuild plugins. This document will help you understand the basics of creating and integrating plugins for the Autobuild system.
Getting Started
Before you start developing plugins, ensure you have the necessary prerequisites:
- Basic knowledge of programming (e.g., Python, JavaScript)
- Familiarity with the Autobuild framework
- Access to the Autobuild development environment
Plugin Structure
A typical Autobuild plugin consists of the following components:
- Main Script: The core functionality of the plugin, written in a supported programming language.
- Configuration File: Stores plugin settings and preferences.
- Documentation: Describes the plugin's features, usage, and configuration options.
Developing a Plugin
Step 1: Define the Plugin
Start by defining the purpose and functionality of your plugin. Consider the following questions:
- What problem does the plugin solve?
- What are the key features?
- Who is the target audience?
Step 2: Implement the Main Script
Write the main script for your plugin, ensuring it adheres to the Autobuild framework's API and standards. Test your script locally to ensure it works as expected.
Step 3: Create the Configuration File
Create a configuration file for your plugin, specifying any settings or preferences. This file can be used to customize the plugin's behavior.
Step 4: Document Your Plugin
Write clear and concise documentation for your plugin, including:
- Installation and setup instructions
- Usage examples
- Configuration options
- Troubleshooting tips
