octoprint.plugin

This module represents OctoPrint’s plugin subsystem. This includes management and helper methods as well as the registered plugin types.

octoprint.plugin.plugin_manager(init=False, plugin_folders=None, plugin_bases=None, plugin_entry_points=None, plugin_disabled_list=None, plugin_sorting_order=None, plugin_blacklist=None, plugin_restart_needing_hooks=None, plugin_obsolete_hooks=None, plugin_considered_bundled=None, plugin_flags=None, plugin_validators=None, compatibility_ignored_list=None)

Factory method for initially constructing and consecutively retrieving the PluginManager singleton.

Parameters:

init (boolean) – A flag indicating whether this is the initial call to construct the singleton (True) or not (False, default). If this is set to True and the plugin manager has already been initialized, a ValueError will be raised. The same will happen if the plugin manager has not yet been initialized and this is set to False.

plugin_bases (list) – A list of recognized plugin base classes for which to look for provided implementations. If not provided this defaults to OctoPrintPlugin.
plugin_entry_points (list) – A list of entry points pointing to modules which to load as plugins. If not provided this defaults to the entry point octoprint.plugin.
plugin_disabled_list (list) – A list of plugin identifiers that are currently disabled. If not provided this defaults to all plugins for which enabled is set to False in the settings.
plugin_sorting_order (dict) – A dict containing a custom sorting orders for plugins. The keys are plugin identifiers, mapped to dictionaries containing the sorting contexts as key and the custom sorting value as value.
plugin_blacklist (list) – A list of plugin identifiers/identifier-requirement tuples that are currently blacklisted.
plugin_restart_needing_hooks (list) – A list of hook namespaces which cause a plugin to need a restart in order be enabled/disabled. Does not have to contain full hook identifiers, will be matched with startswith similar to logging handlers
plugin_obsolete_hooks (list) – A list of hooks that have been declared obsolete. Plugins implementing them will not be enabled since they might depend on functionality that is no longer available.
plugin_considered_bundled (list) – A list of plugin identifiers that are considered bundled plugins even if installed separately.
plugin_flags (dict) – A dict mapping plugin identifiers to additional flags used to override certain behaviours using configuration.
plugin_validators (list) – A list of additional plugin validators through which to process each plugin.

defaults (dict) – The plugin’s defaults settings, will be used to determine valid paths within the plugin’s settings structure

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)
