Plugins Overview

mbpy supports being able to write Python code separate from the mbpy codebase.

Since mbpy is a powerful tool that extracts API information, programmers can utilize it for their own custom solutions.

Without impacting the underlying codebase, a simple plugin architecture is available. This section will demonstrate how to create such a plugin. It will show the output of an example plugin that outputs attendance records.

Directory structure

Make a new directory anywhere outside of the mbpy codebase. As long as the contents of the directory follow a consistent format, anything build into this folder will be able to add functionality to the existingmbpy command.
