class octoprint.plugin.PluginSettings(settings, plugin_key, defaults=None, get_preprocessors=None, set_preprocessors=None)¶

The PluginSettings class is the interface for plugins to their own or globally defined settings.

It provides some convenience methods for directly accessing plugin settings via the regular octoprint.settings.Settings interfaces as well as means to access plugin specific folder locations.

All getter and setter methods will ensure that plugin settings are stored in their correct location within the settings structure by modifying the supplied paths accordingly.

Parameters

settings (Settings) – The Settings instance on which to operate.
plugin_key (str) – The plugin identifier of the plugin for which to create this instance.
defaults (dict) – The plugin’s defaults settings, will be used to determine valid paths within the plugin’s settings structure

get(path, merged=False, asdict=False)¶

Retrieves a raw value from the settings for path, optionally merging the raw value with the default settings if merged is set to True.

Parameters

path (list, tuple) – The path for which to retrieve the value.
merged (boolean) – Whether to merge the returned result with the default settings (True) or not (False, default).

Returns

The retrieved settings value.

Return type

object

get_int(path, min=None, max=None)¶: Like get() but tries to convert the retrieved value to int. If min is provided and the retrieved value is less than it, it will be returned instead of the value. Likewise for max - it will be returned if the value is greater than it.

get_float(path, min=None, max=None)¶: Like get() but tries to convert the retrieved value to float. If min is provided and the retrieved value is less than it, it will be returned instead of the value. Likewise for max - it will be returned if the value is greater than it.

get_boolean(path)¶: Like get() but tries to convert the retrieved value to boolean.

set(path, value, force=False)¶

Sets the raw value on the settings for path.

Parameters

path (list, tuple) – The path for which to retrieve the value.
value (object) – The value to set.
force (boolean) – If set to True, the modified configuration will even be written back to disk if the value didn’t change.

set_int(path, value, force=False, min=None, max=None)¶: Like set() but ensures the value is an int through attempted conversion before setting it. If min and/or max are provided, it will also be ensured that the value is greater than or equal to min and less than or equal to max. If that is not the case, the limit value (min if less than that, max if greater than that) will be set instead.

set_float(path, value, force=False, min=None, max=None)¶: Like set() but ensures the value is an float through attempted conversion before setting it. If min and/or max are provided, it will also be ensured that the value is greater than or equal to min and less than or equal to max. If that is not the case, the limit value (min if less than that, max if greater than that) will be set instead.

set_boolean(path, value, force=False)¶: Like set() but ensures the value is an boolean through attempted conversion before setting it.

save(force=False, trigger_event=False)¶

Saves the settings to config.yaml if there are active changes. If force is set to True the settings will be saved even if there are no changes. Settings trigger_event to True will cause a SettingsUpdated event to get triggered.

Parameters

force (boolean) – Force saving to config.yaml even if there are no changes.

octoprint.plugin.types¶

This module bundles all of OctoPrint’s supported plugin implementation types as well as their common parent class, OctoPrintPlugin.

Please note that the plugin implementation types are documented in the section Available plugin mixins.

class octoprint.plugin.types.OctoPrintPlugin¶

Bases: octoprint.plugin.core.Plugin

The parent class of all OctoPrint plugin mixins.

_plugin_manager¶: The PluginManager instance. Injected by the plugin core system upon initialization of the implementation.

_printer_profile_manager¶: The PrinterProfileManager instance. Injected by the plugin core system upon initialization of the implementation.

_event_bus¶: The EventManager instance. Injected by the plugin core system upon initialization of the implementation.

_analysis_queue¶: The AnalysisQueue instance. Injected by the plugin core system upon initialization of the implementation.

_slicing_manager¶: The SlicingManager instance. Injected by the plugin core system upon initialization of the implementation.

_file_manager¶: The FileManager instance. Injected by the plugin core system upon initialization of the implementation.

_printer¶: The PrinterInterface instance. Injected by the plugin core system upon initialization of the implementation.

_app_session_manager¶: The SessionManager instance. Injected by the plugin core system upon initialization of the implementation.

_plugin_lifecycle_manager¶: The LifecycleManager instance. Injected by the plugin core system upon initialization of the implementation.

_user_manager¶: The UserManager instance. Injected by the plugin core system upon initialization of the implementation.

_connectivity_checker¶: The ConnectivityChecker instance. Injected by the plugin core system upon initialization of the implementation.

_data_folder¶: Path to the data folder for the plugin to use for any data it might have to persist. Should always be accessed through get_plugin_data_folder() since that function will also ensure that the data folder actually exists and if not creating it before returning it. Injected by the plugin core system upon initialization of the implementation.

get_plugin_data_folder()¶

Retrieves the path to a data folder specifically for the plugin, ensuring it exists and if not creating it before returning it.

Plugins may use this folder for storing additional data they need for their operation.

class octoprint.plugin.types.ReloadNeedingPlugin¶

Bases: octoprint.plugin.core.Plugin

Mixin for plugin types that need a reload of the UI after enabling/disabling them.

class octoprint.plugin.types.AssetPlugin¶

The AssetPlugin mixin allows plugins to define additional static assets such as JavaScript or CSS files to be automatically embedded into the pages delivered by the server to be used within the client sided part of the plugin.

A typical usage of the AssetPlugin functionality is to embed a custom view model to be used by templates injected through a TemplatePlugin.

AssetPlugin is a RestartNeedingPlugin.

get_asset_folder()¶

Defines the folder where the plugin stores its static assets as defined in get_assets(). Override this if your plugin stores its assets at some other place than the static sub folder in the plugin base directory.

Return string: the absolute path to the folder where the plugin stores its static assets

get_assets()¶

Defines the static assets the plugin offers. The following asset types are recognized and automatically imported at the appropriate places to be available:

js: JavaScript files, such as additional view models
jsclient: JavaScript files containing additional parts for the JS Client Library (since 1.3.10)
css: CSS files with additional styles, will be embedded into delivered pages when not running in LESS mode.
less: LESS files with additional styles, will be embedded into delivered pages when running in LESS mode.

The expected format to be returned is a dictionary mapping one or more of these keys to a list of files of that type, the files being represented as relative paths from the asset folder as defined via get_asset_folder(). Example:

def get_assets(self):
    return dict(
        js=['js/my_file.js', 'js/my_other_file.js'],
        clientjs=['clientjs/my_file.js'],
        css=['css/my_styles.css'],
        less=['less/my_styles.less']
     )

The assets will be made available by OctoPrint under the URL /plugin/<plugin identifier>/static/<path>, with plugin identifier being the plugin’s identifier and path being the path as defined in the asset dictionary.

Assets of the types js, css and less will be automatically bundled by OctoPrint using Flask-Assets.

Return dict: a dictionary describing the static assets to publish for the plugin

class octoprint.plugin.types.BlueprintPlugin¶

The BlueprintPlugin mixin allows plugins to define their own full fledged endpoints for whatever purpose, be it a more sophisticated API than what is possible via the SimpleApiPlugin or a custom web frontend.

The mechanism at work here is Flask’s own Blueprint mechanism.

The mixin automatically creates a blueprint for you that will be registered under /plugin/<plugin identifier>/. All you need to do is decorate all of your view functions with the route() decorator, which behaves exactly the same like Flask’s regular route decorators. Example:

import octoprint.plugin
import flask

class MyBlueprintPlugin(octoprint.plugin.BlueprintPlugin):
    @octoprint.plugin.BlueprintPlugin.route("/echo", methods=["GET"])
    def myEcho(self):
        if not "text" in flask.request.values:
            abort(400, description="Expected a text to echo back.")
        return flask.request.values["text"]

__plugin_implementation__ = MyBlueprintPlugin()

Your blueprint will be published by OctoPrint under the base URL /plugin/<plugin identifier>/, so the above example of a plugin with the identifier “myblueprintplugin” would be reachable under /plugin/myblueprintplugin/echo.

Just like with regular blueprints you’ll be able to create URLs via url_for, just use the prefix plugin.<plugin identifier>.<method_name>, e.g.:

flask.url_for("plugin.myblueprintplugin.myEcho") # will return "/plugin/myblueprintplugin/echo"

BlueprintPlugin implements RestartNeedingPlugin.

static errorhandler(code_or_exception)¶

A decorator to mark errorhandlings methods in your BlueprintPlugin subclass. Works just the same as Flask’s own errorhandler decorator available on blueprints.

See the documentation for flask.Blueprint.errorhandler and the documentation for flask.Flask.errorhandler for more information.

New in version 1.3.0.

get_blueprint()¶

Creates and returns the blueprint for your plugin. Override this if you want to define and handle your blueprint yourself.

This method will only be called once during server initialization.

Returns: the blueprint ready to be registered with Flask

get_blueprint_api_prefixes()¶

Return all prefixes of your endpoint that are an API that should be containing JSON only.

Anything that matches this will generate JSON error messages in case of flask.abort calls, instead of the default HTML ones.

Defaults to all endpoints under the blueprint. Limit this further as needed. E.g., if you only want your endpoints /foo, /foo/1 and /bar to be declared as API, return ["/foo", "/bar"]. A match will be determined via startswith.

get_blueprint_kwargs()¶

Override this if you want your blueprint constructed with additional options such as static_folder, template_folder, etc.

Defaults to the blueprint’s static_folder and template_folder to be set to the plugin’s basefolder plus /static or respectively /templates, or – if the plugin also implements AssetPlugin and/or TemplatePlugin – the paths provided by get_asset_folder and get_template_folder respectively.

is_blueprint_protected()¶

Whether a login session by a registered user is needed to access the blueprint’s endpoints. Requiring a session is the default. Note that this only restricts access to the blueprint’s dynamic methods, static files are always accessible.

If you want your blueprint’s endpoints to have specific permissions, return False for this and do your permissions checks explicitly.

static route(rule, **options)¶

A decorator to mark view methods in your BlueprintPlugin subclass. Works just the same as Flask’s own route decorator available on blueprints.

See the documentation for flask.Blueprint.route and the documentation for flask.Flask.route for more information.

class octoprint.plugin.types.EnvironmentDetectionPlugin¶: New in version 1.3.6.

class octoprint.plugin.types.EventHandlerPlugin¶

The EventHandlerPlugin mixin allows OctoPrint plugins to react to any of OctoPrint’s events. OctoPrint will call the on_event() method for any event fired on its internal event bus, supplying the event type and the associated payload. Please note that until your plugin returns from that method, further event processing within OctoPrint will block - the event queue itself is run asynchronously from the rest of OctoPrint, but the processing of the events within the queue itself happens consecutively.

This mixin is especially interesting for plugins which want to react on things like print jobs finishing, timelapse videos rendering etc.

on_event(event, payload)¶

Called by OctoPrint upon processing of a fired event on the platform.

Warning

Do not perform long-running or even blocking operations in your implementation or you will block and break the server.

Parameters

event (str) – The type of event that got fired, see the list of events for possible values
payload (dict) – The payload as provided with the event

Retrieves the path to a data folder specifically for the plugin, ensuring it exists and if not creating it before returning it.

Plugins may use this folder for storing additional data they need for their operation.

class octoprint.plugin.types.ProgressPlugin¶

Via the ProgressPlugin mixing plugins can let themselves be called upon progress in print jobs or slicing jobs, limited to minimally 1% steps.

on_print_progress(storage, path, progress)¶

Called by OctoPrint on minimally 1% increments during a running print job.

Parameters

storage (string) – Location of the file
path (string) – Path of the file
progress (int) – Current progress as a value between 0 and 100

on_slicing_progress(slicer, source_location, source_path, destination_location, destination_path, progress)¶

Called by OctoPrint on minimally 1% increments during a running slicing job.

Parameters

slicer (string) – Key of the slicer reporting the progress
source_location (string) – Location of the source file
source_path (string) – Path of the source file
destination_location (string) – Location the destination file
destination_path (string) – Path of the destination file
progress (int) – Current progress as a value between 0 and 100

class octoprint.plugin.types.ReloadNeedingPlugin¶: Mixin for plugin types that need a reload of the UI after enabling/disabling them.

class octoprint.plugin.types.SettingsPlugin¶

Including the SettingsPlugin mixin allows plugins to store and retrieve their own settings within OctoPrint’s configuration.

Plugins including the mixing will get injected an additional property self._settings which is an instance of PluginSettingsManager already properly initialized for use by the plugin. In order for the manager to know about the available settings structure and default values upon initialization, implementing plugins will need to provide a dictionary with the plugin’s default settings through overriding the method get_settings_defaults(). The defined structure will then be available to access through the settings manager available as self._settings.

If your plugin needs to react to the change of specific configuration values on the fly, e.g. to adjust the log level of a logger when the user changes a corresponding flag via the settings dialog, you can override the on_settings_save() method and wrap the call to the implementation from the parent class with retrieval of the old and the new value and react accordingly.

Example:

import octoprint.plugin

class MySettingsPlugin(octoprint.plugin.SettingsPlugin, octoprint.plugin.StartupPlugin):
    def get_settings_defaults(self):
        return dict(
            some_setting="foo",
            some_value=23,
            sub=dict(
                some_flag=True
            )
        )

    def on_settings_save(self, data):
        old_flag = self._settings.get_boolean(["sub", "some_flag"])

        octoprint.plugin.SettingsPlugin.on_settings_save(self, data)

        new_flag = self._settings.get_boolean(["sub", "some_flag"])
        if old_flag != new_flag:
            self._logger.info("sub.some_flag changed from {old_flag} to {new_flag}".format(**locals()))

    def on_after_startup(self):
        some_setting = self._settings.get(["some_setting"])
        some_value = self._settings.get_int(["some_value"])
        some_flag = self._settings.get_boolean(["sub", "some_flag"])
        self._logger.info("some_setting = {some_setting}, some_value = {some_value}, sub.some_flag = {some_flag}".format(**locals())

__plugin_implementation__ = MySettingsPlugin()

Of course, you are always free to completely override both on_settings_load() and on_settings_save() if the default implementations do not fit your requirements.

Warning

Make sure to protect sensitive information stored by your plugin that only logged in administrators (or users) should have access to via get_settings_restricted_paths(). OctoPrint will return its settings on the REST API even to anonymous clients, but will filter out fields it knows are restricted, therefore you must make sure that you specify sensitive information accordingly to limit access as required!

config_version_key = '_config_version'¶: Key of the field in the settings that holds the configuration format version.

get_settings_defaults()¶

Retrieves the plugin’s default settings with which the plugin’s settings manager will be initialized.

Override this in your plugin’s implementation and return a dictionary defining your settings data structure with included default values.

get_settings_preprocessors()¶

Retrieves the plugin’s preprocessors to use for preprocessing returned or set values prior to returning/setting them.

The preprocessors should be provided as a dictionary mapping the path of the values to preprocess (hierarchically) to a transform function which will get the value to transform as only input and should return the transformed value.

Example:

def get_settings_defaults(self):
    return dict(some_key="Some_Value", some_other_key="Some_Value")

def get_settings_preprocessors(self):
    return dict(some_key=lambda x: x.upper()),        # getter preprocessors
           dict(some_other_key=lambda x: x.lower())   # setter preprocessors

def some_method(self):
    # getting the value for "some_key" should turn it to upper case
    assert self._settings.get(["some_key"]) == "SOME_VALUE"

    # the value for "some_other_key" should be left alone
    assert self._settings.get(["some_other_key"] = "Some_Value"

    # setting a value for "some_other_key" should cause the value to first be turned to lower case
    self._settings.set(["some_other_key"], "SOME_OTHER_VALUE")
    assert self._settings.get(["some_other_key"]) == "some_other_value"

Returns: A tuple consisting of two dictionaries, the first being the plugin’s preprocessors for getters, the second the preprocessors for setters
Return type: (dict, dict)

get_settings_restricted_paths()¶

Retrieves the list of paths in the plugin’s settings which be restricted on the REST API.

Override this in your plugin’s implementation to restrict whether a path should only be returned to users with certain permissions, or never on the REST API.

Return a dict with one of the following keys, mapping to a list of paths (as tuples or lists of the path elements) for which to restrict access via the REST API accordingly.

An OctoPrintPermission instance: Paths will only be available on the REST API for users with the permission

admin: Paths will only be available on the REST API for users with admin rights (any user with the SETTINGS permission)

user: Paths will only be available on the REST API when accessed as a logged in user

never: Paths will never be returned on the API

Example:

def get_settings_defaults(self):
    return dict(some=dict(admin_only=dict(path="path", foo="foo"),
                          user_only=dict(path="path", bar="bar")),
                another=dict(admin_only=dict(path="path"),
                             field="field"),
                path=dict(to=dict(never=dict(return="return"))),
                the=dict(webcam=dict(data="webcam")))

def get_settings_restricted_paths(self):
    from octoprint.access.permissions import Permissions
    return {'admin':[["some", "admin_only", "path"], ["another", "admin_only", "path"],],
            'user':[["some", "user_only", "path"],],
            'never':[["path", "to", "never", "return"],],
            Permissions.WEBCAM:[["the", "webcam", "data"],]}

# this will make the plugin return settings on the REST API like this for an anonymous user
#
#     dict(some=dict(admin_only=dict(path=None, foo="foo"),
#                    user_only=dict(path=None, bar="bar")),
#          another=dict(admin_only=dict(path=None),
#                       field="field"),
#          path=dict(to=dict(never=dict(return=None))),
#          the=dict(webcam=dict(data=None)))
#
# like this for a logged in user without the webcam permission
#
#     dict(some=dict(admin_only=dict(path=None, foo="foo"),
#                    user_only=dict(path="path", bar="bar")),
#          another=dict(admin_only=dict(path=None),
#                       field="field"),
#          path=dict(to=dict(never=dict(return=None))),
#          the=dict(webcam=dict(data=None)))
#
# like this for a logged in user with the webcam permission
#
#     dict(some=dict(admin_only=dict(path=None, foo="foo"),
#                    user_only=dict(path="path", bar="bar")),
#          another=dict(admin_only=dict(path=None),
#                       field="field"),
#          path=dict(to=dict(never=dict(return=None))),
#          the=dict(webcam=dict(data="webcam")))
#
# and like this for an admin user
#
#     dict(some=dict(admin_only=dict(path="path", foo="foo"),
#                    user_only=dict(path="path", bar="bar")),
#          another=dict(admin_only=dict(path="path"),
#                       field="field"),
#          path=dict(to=dict(never=dict(return=None))),
#          the=dict(webcam=dict(data="webcam")))

New in version 1.2.17.

get_settings_version()¶

Retrieves the settings format version of the plugin.

Use this to have OctoPrint trigger your migration function if it detects an outdated settings version in config.yaml.

Returns: an int signifying the current settings format, should be incremented by plugins whenever there are backwards incompatible changes. Returning None here disables the version tracking for the plugin’s configuration.
Return type: int or None

on_settings_cleanup()¶

Called after migration and initialization but before call to on_settings_initialized().

Plugins may overwrite this method to perform additional clean up tasks.

The default implementation just minimizes the data persisted on disk to only contain the differences to the defaults (in case the current data was persisted with an older version of OctoPrint that still duplicated default data).

New in version 1.3.0.

on_settings_initialized()¶

Called after the settings have been initialized and - if necessary - also been migrated through a call to func:on_settings_migrate.

This method will always be called after the initialize method.

on_settings_load()¶

Loads the settings for the plugin, called by the Settings API view in order to retrieve all settings from all plugins. Override this if you want to inject additional settings properties that are not stored within OctoPrint’s configuration.

Note

The default implementation will return your plugin’s settings as is, so just in the structure and in the types that are currently stored in OctoPrint’s configuration.

If you need more granular control here, e.g. over the used data types, you’ll need to override this method and iterate yourself over all your settings, using the proper retriever methods on the settings manager to retrieve the data in the correct format.

The default implementation will also replace any paths that have been restricted by your plugin through get_settings_restricted_paths() with either the provided default value (if one was provided), an empty dictionary (as fallback for restricted dictionaries), an empty list (as fallback for restricted lists) or None values where necessary. Make sure to do your own restriction if you decide to fully overload this method.

Returns: the current settings of the plugin, as a dictionary

on_settings_migrate(target, current)¶

Called by OctoPrint if it detects that the installed version of the plugin necessitates a higher settings version than the one currently stored in _config.yaml. Will also be called if the settings data stored in config.yaml doesn’t have version information, in which case the current parameter will be None.

Your plugin’s implementation should take care of migrating any data by utilizing self._settings. OctoPrint will take care of saving any changes to disk by calling self._settings.save() after returning from this method.

This method will be called before your plugin’s on_settings_initialized() method, with all injections already having taken place. You can therefore depend on the configuration having been migrated by the time on_settings_initialized() is called.

Parameters

target (int) – The settings format version the plugin requires, this should always be the same value as returned by get_settings_version().
current (int or None) – The settings format version as currently stored in config.yaml. May be None if no version information can be found.

on_settings_save(data)¶

Saves the settings for the plugin, called by the Settings API view in order to persist all settings from all plugins. Override this if you need to directly react to settings changes or want to extract additional settings properties that are not stored within OctoPrint’s configuration.

Note

The default implementation will persist your plugin’s settings as is, so just in the structure and in the types that were received by the Settings API view. Values identical to the default settings values will not be persisted.

If you need more granular control here, e.g. over the used data types, you’ll need to override this method and iterate yourself over all your settings, retrieving them (if set) from the supplied received data and using the proper setter methods on the settings manager to persist the data in the correct format.

Parameters: data (dict) – The settings dictionary to be saved for the plugin
Returns: The settings that differed from the defaults and were actually saved.
Return type: dict

class octoprint.plugin.types.ShutdownPlugin¶

The ShutdownPlugin allows hooking into the shutdown of OctoPrint. It’s usually used in conjunction with the StartupPlugin mixin, to cleanly shut down additional services again that where started by the StartupPlugin part of the plugin.

ShutdownPlugin is a SortablePlugin and provides a sorting context for on_shutdown().

on_shutdown()¶

Called upon the imminent shutdown of OctoPrint.

Warning

Do not perform long-running or even blocking operations in your implementation or you will block and break the server.

The relevant sorting context is ShutdownPlugin.on_shutdown.

class octoprint.plugin.types.SimpleApiPlugin¶

Utilizing the SimpleApiPlugin mixin plugins may implement a simple API based around one GET resource and one resource accepting JSON commands POSTed to it. This is the easy alternative for plugin’s which don’t need the full power of a Flask Blueprint that the BlueprintPlugin mixin offers.

Use this mixin if all you need to do is return some kind of dynamic data to your plugin from the backend and/or want to react to simple commands which boil down to a type of command and a few flat parameters supplied with it.

The simple API constructed by OctoPrint for you will be made available under /api/plugin/<plugin identifier>/. OctoPrint will do some preliminary request validation for your defined commands, making sure the request body is in the correct format (content type must be JSON) and contains all obligatory parameters for your command.

Let’s take a look at a small example for such a simple API and how you would go about calling it.

Take this example of a plugin registered under plugin identifier mysimpleapiplugin:

import octoprint.plugin

import flask

class MySimpleApiPlugin(octoprint.plugin.SimpleApiPlugin):
    def get_api_commands(self):
        return dict(
            command1=[],
            command2=["some_parameter"]
        )

    def on_api_command(self, command, data):
        import flask
        if command == "command1":
            parameter = "unset"
            if "parameter" in data:
                parameter = "set"
            self._logger.info("command1 called, parameter is {parameter}".format(**locals()))
        elif command == "command2":
            self._logger.info("command2 called, some_parameter is {some_parameter}".format(**data))

    def on_api_get(self, request):
        return flask.jsonify(foo="bar")

__plugin_implementation__ = MySimpleApiPlugin()

Our plugin defines two commands, command1 with no mandatory parameters and command2 with one mandatory parameter some_parameter.

command1 can also accept an optional parameter parameter, and will log whether that parameter was set or unset. command2 will log the content of the mandatory some_parameter parameter.

A valid POST request for command2 sent to /api/plugin/mysimpleapiplugin would look like this:

POST /api/plugin/mysimpleapiplugin HTTP/1.1
Host: example.com
Content-Type: application/json
X-Api-Key: abcdef...

{
  "command": "command2",
  "some_parameter": "some_value",
  "some_optional_parameter": 2342
}

which would produce a response like this:

HTTP/1.1 204 No Content

and print something like this line to octoprint.log:

2015-02-12 17:40:21,140 - octoprint.plugins.mysimpleapiplugin - INFO - command2 called, some_parameter is some_value

A GET request on our plugin’s simple API resource will only return a JSON document like this:

HTTP/1.1 200 Ok
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "foo": "bar"
}

get_api_commands()¶: Return a dictionary here with the keys representing the accepted commands and the values being lists of mandatory parameter names.

is_api_adminonly()¶: Return True if the API is only available to users having the admin role.

on_api_command(command, data)¶

Called by OctoPrint upon a POST request to /api/plugin/<plugin identifier>. command will contain one of the commands as specified via get_api_commands(), data will contain the full request body parsed from JSON into a Python dictionary. Note that this will also contain the command attribute itself. For the example given above, for the command2 request the data received by the plugin would be equal to dict(command="command2", some_parameter="some_value").

If your plugin returns nothing here, OctoPrint will return an empty response with return code 204 No content for you. You may also return regular responses as you would return from any Flask view here though, e.g. return flask.jsonify(result="some json result") or flask.abort(404).

Parameters

command (string) – the command with which the resource was called
data (dict) – the full request body of the POST request parsed from JSON into a Python dictionary

Returns

None in which case OctoPrint will generate a 204 No content response with empty body, or optionally a proper Flask response.

on_api_get(request)¶

Called by OctoPrint upon a GET request to /api/plugin/<plugin identifier>. request will contain the received Flask request object which you may evaluate for additional arguments supplied with the request.

If your plugin returns nothing here, OctoPrint will return an empty response with return code 204 No content for you. You may also return regular responses as you would return from any Flask view here though, e.g. return flask.jsonify(result="some json result") or flask.abort(404).

Parameters: request – the Flask request object
Returns: None in which case OctoPrint will generate a 204 No content response with empty body, or optionally a proper Flask response.

class octoprint.plugin.types.SlicerPlugin¶

Via the SlicerPlugin mixin plugins can add support for slicing engines to be used by OctoPrint.

cancel_slicing(machinecode_path)¶

Cancels the slicing to the indicated file.

Parameters: machinecode_path (str) – The absolute path to the machine code file to which to stop slicing to.

do_slice(model_path, printer_profile, machinecode_path=None, profile_path=None, position=None, on_progress=None, on_progress_args=None, on_progress_kwargs=None)¶

Called by OctoPrint to slice model_path for the indicated printer_profile. If the machinecode_path is None, slicer implementations should generate it from the provided model_path.

If provided, the profile_path is guaranteed by OctoPrint to be a serialized slicing profile created through the slicing plugin’s own save_slicer_profile() method.

If provided, position will be a dict containing and x and a y key, indicating the position the center of the model on the print bed should have in the final sliced machine code. If not provided, slicer implementations should place the model in the center of the print bed.

on_progress will be a callback which expects an additional keyword argument _progress with the current slicing progress which - if progress reporting is supported - the slicing plugin should call like the following:

if on_progress is not None:
    if on_progress_args is None:
        on_progress_args = ()
    if on_progress_kwargs is None:
        on_progress_kwargs = dict()

    on_progress_kwargs["_progress"] = your_plugins_slicing_progress
    on_progress(*on_progress_args, **on_progress_kwargs)

Please note that both on_progress_args and on_progress_kwargs as supplied by OctoPrint might be None, so always make sure to initialize those values to sane defaults like depicted above before invoking the callback.

In order to support external cancellation of an ongoing slicing job via cancel_slicing(), implementations should make sure to track the started jobs via the machinecode_path, if provided.

The method should return a 2-tuple consisting of a boolean flag indicating whether the slicing job was finished successfully (True) or not (False) and a result depending on the success of the slicing job.

For jobs that finished successfully, result should be a dict containing additional information about the slicing job under the following keys:

analysis: Analysis result of the generated machine code as returned by the slicer itself. This should match the data structure described for the analysis queue of the matching machine code format, e.g. GcodeAnalysisQueue for GCODE files.

For jobs that did not finish successfully (but not due to being cancelled!), result should be a str containing a human readable reason for the error.

If the job gets cancelled, a SlicingCancelled exception should be raised.

Returns: A 2-tuple (boolean, object) as outlined above.
Return type: tuple
Raises: SlicingCancelled – The slicing job was cancelled (via cancel_slicing()).

get_slicer_default_profile()¶

Should return a SlicingProfile containing the default slicing profile to use with this slicer if no other profile has been selected.

Returns

The SlicingProfile containing the default slicing profile for: this slicer.

Return type

SlicingProfile

get_slicer_extension_tree()¶

Fetch additional entries to put into the extension tree for accepted files

By default, a subtree for model files with stl extension is returned. Slicers who want to support additional/other file types will want to override this.

For the extension tree format, take a look at the docs of the octoprint.filemanager.extension_tree hook.

Returns: (dict) a dictionary containing a valid extension subtree.

New in version 1.3.11.

get_slicer_profile(path)¶

Should return a SlicingProfile parsed from the slicing profile stored at the indicated path.

Parameters: path (str) – The absolute path from which to read the slicing profile.
Returns: The specified slicing profile.
Return type: SlicingProfile

get_slicer_profiles(profile_path)¶

Fetch all SlicingProfile stored for this slicer.

For compatibility reasons with existing slicing plugins this method defaults to returning profiles parsed from .profile files in the plugin’s profile_path, utilizing the SlicingPlugin.get_slicer_profile() method of the plugin implementation.

Parameters: profile_path (str) – The base folder where OctoPrint stores this slicer plugin’s profiles

New in version 1.3.7.

get_slicer_profiles_lastmodified(profile_path)¶: New in version 1.3.0.

get_slicer_properties()¶

Plugins should override this method to return a dict containing a bunch of meta data about the implemented slicer.

The expected keys in the returned dict have the following meaning:

type: The type identifier to use for the slicer. This should be a short unique lower case string which will be used to store slicer profiles under or refer to the slicer programmatically or from the API.
name: The human readable name of the slicer. This will be displayed to the user during slicer selection.
same_device: True if the slicer runs on the same device as OctoPrint, False otherwise. Slicers running on the same device will not be allowed to slice on systems with less than two CPU cores (or an unknown number) while a print is running due to performance reasons. Slice requests against slicers running on the same device and less than two cores will result in an error.
progress_report: True if the slicer can report back slicing progress to OctoPrint False otherwise.
source_file_types: A list of file types this slicer supports as valid origin file types. These are file types as found in the paths within the extension tree. Plugins may add additional file types through the octoprint.filemanager.extension_tree hook. The system will test source files contains in incoming slicing requests via octoprint.filemanager.valid_file_type() against the targeted slicer’s source_file_types.
destination_extension: The possible extensions of slicing result files.

Returns: A dict describing the slicer as outlined above.
Return type: dict

is_slicer_configured()¶: Unless the return value of this method is True, OctoPrint will not register the slicer within the slicing sub system upon startup. Plugins may use this to do some start up checks to verify that e.g. the path to a slicing binary as set and the binary is executable, or credentials of a cloud slicing platform are properly entered etc.

save_slicer_profile(path, profile, allow_overwrite=True, overrides=None)¶

Should save the provided SlicingProfile to the indicated path, after applying any supplied overrides. If a profile is already saved under the indicated path and allow_overwrite is set to False (defaults to True), an IOError should be raised.

Parameters

path (str) – The absolute path to which to save the profile.
profile (SlicingProfile) – The profile to save.
allow_overwrite (boolean) – Whether to allow to overwrite an existing profile at the indicated path (True, default) or not (False). If a profile already exists on the path and this is False an IOError should be raised.
overrides (dict) – Profile overrides to apply to the profile before saving it

class octoprint.plugin.types.StartupPlugin¶

The StartupPlugin allows hooking into the startup of OctoPrint. It can be used to start up additional services on or just after the startup of the server.

StartupPlugin is a SortablePlugin and provides sorting contexts for on_startup() as well as on_after_startup().

on_after_startup()¶

Called just after launch of the server, so when the listen loop is actually running already.

Warning

Do not perform long-running or even blocking operations in your implementation or you will block and break the server.

The relevant sorting context is StartupPlugin.on_after_startup.

on_startup(host, port)¶

Called just before the server is actually launched. Plugins get supplied with the host and port the server will listen on. Note that the host may be 0.0.0.0 if it will listen on all interfaces, so you can’t just blindly use this for constructing publicly reachable URLs. Also note that when this method is called, the server is not actually up yet and none of your plugin’s APIs or blueprints will be reachable yet. If you need to be externally reachable, use on_after_startup() instead or additionally.

Warning

Do not perform long-running or even blocking operations in your implementation or you will block and break the server.

The relevant sorting context is StartupPlugin.on_startup.

Parameters

host (string) – the host the server will listen on, may be 0.0.0.0
port (int) – the port the server will listen on

class octoprint.plugin.types.TemplatePlugin¶

Using the TemplatePlugin mixin plugins may inject their own components into the OctoPrint web interface.

Currently OctoPrint supports the following types of injections out of the box:

Navbar

The right part of the navigation bar located at the top of the UI can be enriched with additional links. Note that with the current implementation, plugins will always be located to the left of the existing links.

The included template must be called <plugin identifier>_navbar.jinja2 (e.g. myplugin_navbar.jinja2) unless overridden by the configuration supplied through get_template_configs().

The template will be already wrapped into the necessary structure, plugins just need to supply the pure content. The wrapper structure will have all additional classes and styles applied as specified via the configuration supplied through get_template_configs().

Sidebar

The left side bar containing Connection, State and Files sections can be enriched with additional sections. Note that with the current implementations, plugins will always be located beneath the existing sections.

The included template must be called <plugin identifier>_sidebar.jinja2 (e.g. myplugin_sidebar.jinja2) unless overridden by the configuration supplied through get_template_configs().

The template will be already wrapped into the necessary structure, plugins just need to supply the pure content. The wrapper divs for both the whole box as well as the content pane will have all additional classes and styles applied as specified via the configuration supplied through get_template_configs().

Tabs

The available tabs of the main part of the interface may be extended with additional tabs originating from within plugins. Note that with the current implementation, plugins will always be located to the right of the existing tabs.

The included template must be called <plugin identifier>_tab.jinja2 (e.g. myplugin_tab.jinja2) unless overridden by the configuration supplied through get_template_configs().

The template will be already wrapped into the necessary structure, plugins just need to supply the pure content. The wrapper div and the link in the navigation will have the additional classes and styles applied as specified via the configuration supplied through get_template_configs().

Settings

Plugins may inject a dialog into the existing settings view. Note that with the current implementation, plugins will always be listed beneath the “Plugins” header in the settings link list, ordered alphabetically after their displayed name.

The included template must be called <plugin identifier>_settings.jinja2 (e.g. myplugin_settings.jinja2) unless overridden by the configuration supplied through get_template_configs().

The template will be already wrapped into the necessary structure, plugins just need to supply the pure content. The wrapper div and the link in the navigation will have the additional classes and styles applied as defined via the configuration through get_template_configs().

Wizards

Plugins may define wizard dialogs to display to the user if necessary (e.g. in case of missing information that needs to be queried from the user to make the plugin work). Note that with the current implementation, all wizard dialogs will be will always be sorted by their mandatory attribute (which defaults to False) and then alphabetically by their name. Hence, mandatory wizard steps will come first, sorted alphabetically, then the optional steps will follow, also alphabetically. A wizard dialog provided through a plugin will only be displayed if the plugin reports the wizard as being required through is_wizard_required(). Please also refer to the WizardPlugin mixin for further details on this.

The included template must be called <plugin identifier>_wizard.jinja2 (e.g. myplugin_wizard.jinja2) unless overridden by the configuration supplied through get_template_configs().

The template will be already wrapped into the necessary structure, plugins just need to supply the pure content. The wrapper div and the link in the wizard navigation will have the additional classes and styles applied as defined via the configuration supplied through get_template_configs().

Note

A note about mandatory wizard steps: In the current implementation, marking a wizard step as mandatory will only make it styled accordingly. It is the task of the view model to actually prevent the user from skipping the dialog by implementing the onWizardTabChange callback and returning false there if it is detected that the user hasn’t yet filled in the wizard step.

New in version 1.3.0.

About

Plugins may define additional panels into OctoPrint’s “About” dialog. Note that with the current implementation further about dialog panels will be sorted alphabetically by their name and sorted after the predefined ones.

The included template must be called <plugin identifier>_about.jinja2 (e.g. myplugin_about.jinja2) unless overridden by the configuration supplied through get_template_configs().

The template will be already wrapped into the necessary structure, plugins just need to supply the pure content. The wrapped div and the link in the navigation will have the additional classes and styles applied as defined via the configuration supplied through get_template_configs().

New in version 1.3.0.

Generic

Plugins may also inject arbitrary templates into the page of the web interface itself, e.g. in order to add overlays or dialogs to be called from within the plugin’s JavaScript code.

Fig. 27 Template injection types in the main part of the interface¶

Fig. 28 Template injection types in the settings¶

You can find an example for a simple plugin which injects navbar, tab and settings content into the interface in the “helloworld” plugin in OctoPrint’s Plugin Tutorial.

Plugins may replace existing components, see the replaces keyword in the template configurations returned by get_template_configs() below. Note that if a plugin replaces a core component, it is the plugin’s responsibility to ensure that all core functionality is still maintained.

Plugins can also add additional template types by implementing the octoprint.ui.web.templatetypes hook.

TemplatePlugin is a ReloadNeedingPlugin.

get_template_configs()¶

Allows configuration of injected navbar, sidebar, tab and settings templates (and also additional templates of types specified by plugins through the octoprint.ui.web.templatetypes hook). Should be a list containing one configuration object per template to inject. Each configuration object is represented by a dictionary which may contain the following keys:

type	The template type the configuration is targeting. Possible values here are `navbar`, `sidebar`, `tab`, `settings` and `generic`. Mandatory.
name	The name of the component, if not set the name of the plugin will be used. The name will be visible at a location depending on the `type`: `navbar`: unused `sidebar`: sidebar heading `tab`: tab heading `settings`: settings link `wizard`: wizard link `about`: about link `generic`: unused
template	Name of the template to inject, default value depends on the `type`: `navbar`: `<plugin identifier>_navbar.jinja2` `sidebar`: `<plugin identifier>_sidebar.jinja2` `tab`: `<plugin identifier>_tab.jinja2` `settings`: `<plugin identifier>_settings.jinja2` `wizard`: `<plugin identifier>_wizard.jinja2` `about`: `<plugin identifier>_about.jinja2` `generic`: `<plugin identifier>.jinja2`
suffix	Suffix to attach to the component identifier and the div identifier of the injected template. Will be `_<index>` if not provided and not the first template of the type, with `index` counting from 1 and increasing for each template of the same type. Example: If your plugin with identifier `myplugin` defines two tab components like this: return [ dict(type="tab", template="myplugin_first_tab.jinja2"), dict(type="tab", template="myplugin_second_tab.jinja2") ] then the first tab will have the component identifier `plugin_myplugin` and the second one will have the component identifier `plugin_myplugin_2` (the generated divs will be `tab_plugin_myplugin` and `tab_plugin_myplugin_2` accordingly). Notice that the first tab is not called `plugin_myplugin_1` – as stated above while the `index` used as default suffix starts counting at 1, it will not be applied for the first component of a given type. If on the other hand your plugin’s definition looks like this: return [ dict(type="tab", template="myplugin_first_tab_jinja2", suffix="_1st"), dict(type="tab", template="myplugin_second_tab_jinja2", suffix="_2nd") ] then the generated component identifier will be `plugin_myplugin_1st` and `plugin_myplugin_2nd` (and the divs will be `tab_plugin_myplugin_1st` and `tab_plugin_myplugin_2nd`).
div	Id for the div containing the component. If not provided, defaults to `<type>_plugin_<plugin identifier>` plus the `suffix` if provided or required.
replaces	Id of the component this one replaces, might be either one of the core components or a component provided by another plugin. A list of the core component identifiers can be found in the configuration documentation. The identifiers of other plugin components always follow the format described above.
custom_bindings	A boolean value indicating whether the default view model should be bound to the component (`false`) or if a custom binding will be used by the plugin (`true`, default).
data_bind	Additional knockout data bindings to apply to the component, can be used to add further behaviour to the container based on internal state if necessary.
classes	Additional classes to apply to the component, as a list of individual classes (e.g. `classes=["myclass", "myotherclass"]`) which will be joined into the correct format by the template engine.
styles	Additional CSS styles to apply to the component, as a list of individual declarations (e.g. `styles=["color: red", "display: block"]`) which will be joined into the correct format by the template engine.

Further keys to be included in the dictionary depend on the type:

sidebar type

icon

Icon to use for the sidebar header, should be the name of a Font Awesome icon without the leading icon- part.

template_header

Additional template to include in the head section of the sidebar item. For an example of this, see the additional options included in the “Files” section.

classes_wrapper

Like classes but only applied to the whole wrapper around the sidebar box.

classes_content

Like classes but only applied to the content pane itself.

styles_wrapper

Like styles but only applied to the whole wrapper around the sidebar box.

styles_content

Like styles but only applied to the content pane itself

tab type and settings type

classes_link

Like classes but only applied to the link in the navigation.

classes_content

Like classes but only applied to the content pane itself.

styles_link

Like styles but only applied to the link in the navigation.

styles_content

Like styles but only applied to the content pane itself.

wizard type

mandatory

Whether the wizard step is mandatory (True) or not (False). Optional, defaults to False. If set to True, OctoPrint will sort visually mark the step as mandatory in the UI (bold in the navigation and a little alert) and also sort it into the first half.

Note

As already outlined above, each template type has a default template name (i.e. the default navbar template of a plugin is called <plugin identifier>_navbar.jinja2), which may be overridden using the template configuration. If a plugin needs to include more than one template of a given type, it needs to provide an entry for each of those, since the implicit default template will only be included automatically if no other templates of that type are defined.

Example: If you have a plugin that injects two tab components, one defined in the template file myplugin_tab.jinja2 (the default template) and one in the template myplugin_othertab.jinja2, you might be tempted to just return the following configuration since one your templates is named by the default template name:

return [
    dict(type="tab", template="myplugin_othertab.jinja2")
]

This will only include the tab defined in myplugin_othertab.jinja2 though, myplugin_tab.jinja2 will not be included automatically since the presence of a definition for the tab type overrides the automatic injection of the default template. You’ll have to include it explicitly:

return [
    dict(type="tab", template="myplugin_tab.jinja2"),
    dict(type="tab", template="myplugin_othertab.jinja2")
]

Return list: a list containing the configuration options for the plugin’s injected templates

get_template_folder()¶

Defines the folder where the plugin stores its templates. Override this if your plugin stores its templates at some other place than the templates sub folder in the plugin base directory.

Return string: the absolute path to the folder where the plugin stores its jinja2 templates

get_template_vars()¶

Defines additional template variables to include into the template renderer. Variable names will be prefixed with plugin_<plugin identifier>_.

Return dict: a dictionary containing any additional template variables to include in the renderer

class octoprint.plugin.types.UiPlugin¶

The UiPlugin mixin allows plugins to completely replace the UI served by OctoPrint when requesting the main page hosted at /.

OctoPrint will query whether your mixin implementation will handle a provided request by calling will_handle_ui() with the Flask Request object as parameter. If you plugin returns True here, OctoPrint will next call on_ui_render() with a few parameters like - again - the Flask Request object and the render keyword arguments as used by the default OctoPrint web interface. For more information see below.

There are two methods used in order to allow for caching of the actual response sent to the client. Whatever a plugin implementation returns from the call to its on_ui_render() method will be cached server side. The cache will be emptied in case of explicit no-cache headers sent by the client, or if the _refresh query parameter on the request exists and is set to true. To prevent caching of the response altogether, a plugin may set no-cache headers on the returned response as well.

UiPlugin is a SortablePlugin with a sorting context for will_handle_ui(). The first plugin to return True for will_handle_ui() will be the one whose ui will be used, no further calls to on_ui_render() will be performed.

If implementations want to serve custom templates in the on_ui_render() method it is recommended to also implement the TemplatePlugin mixin.

Example

What follows is a very simple example that renders a different (non functional and only exemplary) UI if the requesting client has a UserAgent string hinting at it being a mobile device:

Listing 41 dummy_mobile_ui/__init__.py¶

# coding=utf-8
from __future__ import absolute_import

import octoprint.plugin

class DummyMobileUiPlugin(octoprint.plugin.UiPlugin,
                          octoprint.plugin.TemplatePlugin):

    def will_handle_ui(self, request):
        # returns True if the User Agent sent by the client matches one of
        # the User Agent strings known for any of the platforms android, ipad
        # or iphone
        return request.user_agent and \
               request.user_agent.platform in ("android", "ipad", "iphone")

    def on_ui_render(self, now, request, render_kwargs):
        # if will_handle_ui returned True, we will now render our custom index
        # template, using the render_kwargs as provided by OctoPrint
        from flask import make_response, render_template
        return make_response(render_template("dummy_mobile_ui_index.jinja2",
                                             **render_kwargs))

__plugin_name__ = "Dummy Mobile UI"
__plugin_pythoncompat__ = ">=2.7,<4"
__plugin_implementation__ = DummyMobileUiPlugin()

        <h1>Dummy Mobile OctoPrint UI</h1>

        <p>
            Well hello there. Sadly, this is only a placeholder page used to
            demonstrate how UiPlugins work. Hence the "Dummy" in the name.
            Hope you are not too disappointed :)
        </p>

        <p>
            Some data from the <code>render_kwargs</code> passed to this

        <ul>
            <!--
             We can include any render keywords arguments by their name,
             using the regular Jinja templating functionality.
             -->
            <li>Version: {{ display_version }}</li>
            <li>Debug: {{ debug }}</li>

            <li>Installed Plugins: {{ pluginNames|join(", ") }}</li>
        </ul>
    </body>
</html>

Try installing the above plugin dummy_mobile_ui (also available in the plugin examples repository) into your OctoPrint instance. If you access it from a regular desktop browser, you should still see the default UI. However if you access it from a mobile device (make sure to not have that request the desktop version of pages!) you should see the very simple dummy page defined above.

Preemptive and Runtime Caching

OctoPrint will also cache your custom UI for you in its server side UI cache, making sure it only gets re-rendered if the request demands that (by having no-cache headers set) or if the cache gets invalidated otherwise.

In order to be able to do that, the UiPlugin offers overriding some cache specific methods used for figuring out the source files whose modification time to use for cache invalidation as well as override possibilities for ETag and LastModified calculation. Additionally there are methods to allow persisting call parameters to allow for preemptively caching your UI during server startup (basically eager caching instead of lazily waiting for the first request).

See below for details on this.

New in version 1.3.0.

get_ui_additional_etag(default_additional)¶

Allows to provide a list of additional fields to use for ETag generation.

By default the same list will be returned that is also used in the stock UI (and injected via the parameter default_additional).

Parameters: default_additional (list) – The list of default fields added to the ETag of the default UI
Returns: A list of additional fields for the ETag generation, or None
Return type: (list)

New in version 1.3.0.

get_ui_additional_key_data_for_cache()¶

Allows to return additional data to use in the cache key.

Returns

A list or tuple of strings to use in the cache key. Will be joined by OctoPrint: using : as separator and appended to the existing ui:<identifier>:<base url>:<locale> cache key. Ignored if None is returned.

Return type

list, tuple

New in version 1.3.0.

get_ui_additional_request_data_for_preemptive_caching()¶

Allows defining additional request data to persist in the preemptive cache configuration and to use for the fake request used for populating the preemptive cache.

Keys and values are used as keyword arguments for creating the Werkzeug EnvironBuilder used for creating the fake request.

Returns

Additional request data to persist in the preemptive cache configuration and to: use for request environment construction.

Return type

New in version 1.3.0.

get_ui_additional_tracked_files()¶

Allows to return additional files to track for validating existing caches. By default OctoPrint will track all declared templates, assets and translation files in the system. Additional files can be added by a plugin through this callback.

Returns

A list of paths to additional files whose modification to track for (in)validating: the cache. Ignored if None is returned.

Return type

New in version 1.3.0.

get_ui_custom_etag()¶

Allows to use a custom way to calculate the ETag, instead of the default method (hashing OctoPrint’s version, tracked file paths and LastModified value).

Returns: An alternatively calculated ETag value. Ignored if None is returned (default).
Return type: str

New in version 1.3.0.

get_ui_custom_lastmodified()¶

Allows to calculate the LastModified differently than using the most recent modification date of all tracked files.

Returns: An alternatively calculated LastModified value. Ignored if None is returned (default).
Return type: int

New in version 1.3.0.

get_ui_custom_template_filter(default_template_filter)¶

Allows to specify a custom template filter to use for filtering the template contained in the render_kwargs provided to the templating sub system.

Only relevant for UiPlugins that actually utilize the stock templates of OctoPrint.

By default simply returns the provided default_template_filter.

Parameters: default_template_filter (callable) – The default template filter used by the default UI
Returns: (callable) A filter function accepting the template_type and template_key of a template and returning True to keep it and False to filter it out. If None is returned, no filtering will take place.

New in version 1.3.0.

get_ui_custom_tracked_files()¶

Allows to define a complete separate set of files to track for (in)validating the cache. If this method returns something, the templates, assets and translation files won’t be tracked, only the files specified in the returned list.

Returns

A list of paths representing the only files whose modification to track for (in)validating: the cache. Ignored if None is returned.

Return type

New in version 1.3.0.

get_ui_data_for_preemptive_caching()¶

Allows defining additional data to be persisted in the preemptive cache configuration, on top of the request path, base URL and used locale.

Returns: Additional data to persist in the preemptive cache configuration.
Return type: dict

New in version 1.3.0.

get_ui_permissions()¶

Determines a list of permissions that need to be on the current user session. If these requirements are not met, OctoPrint will instead redirect to a login screen.

Plugins may override this with their own set of permissions. Returning an empty list will instruct OctoPrint to never show a login dialog when this UiPlugin’s view renders, in which case it will fall to your plugin to implement its own login logic.

Returns: (list) A list of permissions which to check the current user session against. May be empty to indicate that no permission checks should be made by OctoPrint.

get_ui_preemptive_caching_additional_unless()¶

Allows defining additional reasons for temporarily not adding a preemptive cache record for your plugin’s UI.

OctoPrint will call this method when processing a UI request, to determine whether to record the access or not. If you return True here, no record will be created.

Returns: Whether to suppress a record (True) or not (False, default)
Return type: bool

New in version 1.3.0.

get_ui_preemptive_caching_enabled()¶

Allows to control whether the view provided by the plugin should be preemptively cached on server startup (default) or not.

Have this return False if you do not want your plugin’s UI to ever be preemptively cached.

Returns: Whether to enable preemptive caching (True, default) or not (False)
Return type: bool

on_ui_render(now, request, render_kwargs)¶

Called by OctoPrint to retrieve the response to send to the client for the request to /. Only called if will_handle_ui() returned True.

render_kwargs will be a dictionary (whose contents are cached) which will contain the following key and value pairs (note that not all key value pairs contained in the dictionary are listed here, only those you should depend on as a plugin developer at the current time):

debug

True if debug mode is enabled, False otherwise.

firstRun

True if the server is being run for the first time (not configured yet), False otherwise.

version

OctoPrint’s version information. This is a dict with the following keys:

number	The version number (e.g. `x.y.z`)
branch	The GIT branch from which the OctoPrint instance was built (e.g. `master`)
display	The full human readable version string, including the branch information (e.g. `x.y.z (master branch)`

uiApiKey

The UI API key to use for unauthorized API requests. This is freshly generated on every server restart.

templates

Template data to render in the UI. Will be a dict containing entries for all known template types.

The sub structure for each key will be as follows:

order

A list of template names in the order they should appear in the final rendered page

entries

The template entry definitions to render. Depending on the template type those are either 2-tuples of a name and a dict or directly dicts with information regarding the template to render.

For the possible contents of the data dicts see the TemplatePlugin mixin.

pluginNames

A list of names of TemplatePlugin implementation that were enabled when creating the templates value.

locales

The locales for which there are translations available.

supportedExtensions

The file extensions supported for uploads.

On top of that all additional template variables as provided by get_template_vars() will be contained in the dictionary as well.

Parameters

now (datetime.datetime) – The datetime instance representing “now” for this request, in case your plugin implementation needs this information.
request (flask.Request) –
A Flask Request object.
render_kwargs (dict) – The (cached) render keyword arguments that would usually be provided to the core UI render function.

Returns

Should return a Flask Response: object that can be served to the requesting client directly. May be created with flask.make_response combined with something like flask.render_template.

Return type

flask.Response

will_handle_ui(request)¶

Called by OctoPrint to determine if the mixin implementation will be able to handle the request provided as a parameter.

Return True here to signal that your implementation will handle the request and that the result of its on_ui_render() method is what should be served to the user.

The execution order of calls to this method can be influenced via the sorting context UiPlugin.will_handle_ui.

Parameters

request (flask.Request) –

A Flask Request object.

Returns

True if the implementation will serve the request,: False otherwise.

Return type

bool

class octoprint.plugin.types.WizardPlugin¶

The WizardPlugin mixin allows plugins to report to OctoPrint whether the wizard templates they define via the TemplatePlugin should be displayed to the user, what details to provide to their respective wizard frontend components and what to do when the wizard is finished by the user.

OctoPrint will only display such wizard dialogs to the user which belong to plugins that

report True in their is_wizard_required() method and

have not yet been shown to the user in the version currently being reported by the get_wizard_version() method

Example: If a plugin with the identifier myplugin has a specific setting some_key it needs to have filled by the user in order to be able to work at all, it would probably test for that setting’s value in the is_wizard_required() method and return True if the value is unset:

class MyPlugin(octoprint.plugin.SettingsPlugin,
               octoprint.plugin.TemplatePlugin,
               octoprint.plugin.WizardPlugin):

    def get_default_settings(self):
        return dict(some_key=None)

    def is_wizard_required(self):
        return self._settings.get(["some_key"]) is None

OctoPrint will then display the wizard dialog provided by the plugin through the TemplatePlugin mixin. Once the user finishes the wizard on the frontend, OctoPrint will store that it already showed the wizard of myplugin in the version reported by get_wizard_version() - here None since that is the default value returned by that function and the plugin did not override it.

If the plugin in a later version needs another setting from the user in order to function, it will also need to change the reported version in order to have OctoPrint reshow the dialog. E.g.

class MyPlugin(octoprint.plugin.SettingsPlugin,
               octoprint.plugin.TemplatePlugin,
               octoprint.plugin.WizardPlugin):

    def get_default_settings(self):
        return dict(some_key=None, some_other_key=None)

    def is_wizard_required(self):
        some_key_unset = self._settings.get(["some_key"]) is None
        some_other_key_unset = self._settings.get(["some_other_key"]) is None

        return some_key_unset or some_other_key_unset

    def get_wizard_version(self):
        return 1

WizardPlugin is a ReloadNeedingPlugin.

get_wizard_details()¶

Called by OctoPrint when the wizard wrapper dialog is shown. Allows the plugin to return data that will then be made available to the view models via the view model callback onWizardDetails.

Use this if your plugin’s view model that handles your wizard dialog needs additional data to perform its task.

Returns

a dictionary containing additional data to provide to the frontend. Whatever the plugin: returns here will be made available on the wizard API under the plugin’s identifier

Return type
