# idf.py extensions
Python modules (subdirectories and files) in this directory named `[your_extension]_ext` will be loaded as idf.py extensions.
If you want to provide extra extensions just provide `;` separated list of directories with extensions in `IDF_EXTRA_ACTIONS_PATH`. Extensions will be loaded in alphanumeric order.
Command line arguments parsing and extension mechanism is implemented on top of [Click](https://click.palletsprojects.com/en/5.x/) (versions >=5.0 are supported).
They should define a function `action_extensions(base_actions, project_path)` where:
- base_actions - dictionary with actions that are already available for idf.py
- project_path - working dir, may be defaulted to `os.getcwd()`
This function have to return a dict with 3 possible keys:
```python
{
# Additional options that will be available from id
"global_options": [{
"names": ["--option-name"],
"help": "Help for option --option-name.",
}],
# List of functions that will have access to full app context, and can mangle with arguments
"global_action_callbacks": [global_callback],
# Additional subcommands for idf.py
"actions": {
"subcommand_name": {
"callback": subcommand_callback,
"help": "Help for subcommand.",
},
},
}
```
Where function `global_callback(ctx, global_args, tasks)` accepts 3 arguments:
- ctx - [Click context](https://click.palletsprojects.com/en/5.x/api/#context)
- global_args - dictionary of all available global arguments
- tasks - list of Task objects
And `subcommand_callback(subcommand_name, ctx, args)` accepts 3 arguments:
- subcommand_name - name of subcommand
- ctx - [Click context](https://click.palletsprojects.com/en/5.x/api/#context)
- args - list of command's arguments
