Plugin API

This is the reference for building a Plexora plugin: what a plugin declares about itself, what its Python routes can call on the server, and what its JavaScript can do in the browser. For a guided walkthrough that ties these together into a working plugin, start with Build a custom plugin.

A plugin's Python code imports from exactly one module: plexora.api. The project data a route reads (image, segmentation, cell table), the descriptor classes a plugin declares itself with, the storage a plugin keeps between sessions, the JSON response helper — all of it is re-exported from plexora.api, whatever module inside Plexora actually implements it. Anything not exported from plexora.api is an implementation detail of the host and can be renamed or restructured without notice between releases; a plugin that reaches past it into plexora.server... directly should expect to be the one that breaks.
