sourmash_plugin_xyz: a template for sourmash plugins

This is a good place to start if you're writing a plugin for sourmash (sourmash-bio/sourmash/).

Note: plugins were added in sourmash v4.7.0.

Instructions

You can use this repo as a template repo to create a new plugin!

See this set of changes for the minimal diff needed to get a plugin working!

Building from a template:

First, go to the GitHub page and click "Use this template" to create a new repository.

Clone that repository into your development space.

Then, search for all places where 'xyz' is present, and replace 'xyz' with the name of your plugin.

Next, edit the code in src/sourmash_plugin_xyz.py to implement the plugin (you'll probably want to change the name of that file, too.)

Then run pip install . to install and test your plugin! You can also run pip install -e . to install it in editable mode, which is more convenient for development.

Examples

sourmash_plugin_avro and sourmash_plugin_load_urls are two examples you can follow.
