Usage

In order to create proper plugin repository structure, please execute following steps:

  1. Install cookiecutter
  2. Install Waldur plugin for cookiecutter:
cookiecutter https://github.com/opennode/cookiecutter-waldur-plugin.git

You will be prompted to enter values of some variables. Note, that in brackets will be suggested default values.

  • plugin_name - name of the plugin. i.e. SugarCRM
  • plugin_repo - name of the plugin's repository. i.e. waldur-sugarcrm
  • plugin_source - name of the directory inside src folder. i.e. waldur_sugarcrm
  • plugin_extension_class - name of the class inside extension.py file i.e. SugarCRMExtension
  • plugin_app_config_class - name of the class inside apps.py file i.e. SugarCRMConfig
  • plugin_short_description - short description of the plugin

  • year - current year i.e. 2017
  • organization - name of the organization i.e. OpenNode

Implementing services

Usually Waldur plugin implements service, for example for OpenStack or Zabbix. Service consists of backend class, database models and API views. Service catalog maintains metadata about all connected services.

In order to specify ID of service settings in the database, add the following property to the application configuration class in apps.py file. Note that once service_name is set up, it should not be modified without migration.

service_name = '{{ cookiecutter.plugin_name }}'

It is assumed that service backend is implemented in backend.py file. In order to connect backend class to the service catalog, add the following code to ready method of the application configuration class. When service backend is connected, related database models are connected as well.

from waldur_core.structure import SupportedServices
from .backend import Backend
SupportedServices.register_backend(Backend)

Adding new URLs

If Waldur plugin adds a new Django URL, it should be registered in urls.py file:

urlpatterns = [
    url(r'^my/new/url/', views.page),
]

Consult Django docs

For Django to be able to use these URL configurations make sure this method exists in extension.py or add it:

    @staticmethod
    def django_urls():
        from .urls import urlpatterns
        return urlpatterns
