Extending with your plugins

Table of contents

1. Create your own plugin

In order to use the CLI, you need to install the flamapy basic package

It’s recommended to use a virtual environment (venv) for installation to avoid conflicts with other packages. Here’s how you can set it up:

python -m venv flamapyenv && source flamapyenv/bin/activate

Install the distribution:

pip install flamapy

Create your own plugin

Let’s take as an example that we want to develop a plugin for OVM (Orthogonal Variability Model)

We go to the core repository of flamapy and create a directory for the metamodel:

cd core && mkdir ./ovm_metamodel

We use the flamapy CLI to generate the new plugin:

flamapy generate_plugin./ovm_metamodel ovm ovm

This will populate the skeleton to create your plugin.
