Extensions in apflow¶

apflow supports a powerful extension system for both CLI commands and core functionality. You can add your own extensions or override existing ones, making it easy to customize and adapt apflow to your needs.

CLI Extensions: Custom Commands and Overriding¶

You can register new CLI command groups or single commands using the @cli_register decorator. You can also extend or override existing commands and groups by specifying the group and override=True parameters.

For detailed usage and examples, see the CLI Guide and Library Usage Guide.

Core Extensions: Custom and Override¶

apflow also supports custom extensions for executors, hooks, storage backends, and more. You can register your own or override built-in extensions by passing override=True when registering.

For how to override executors and other extensions, see the API Quick Reference and Python API Reference.

For more details, see the Extending Guide.

Best Practices¶

Use override=True only when you want to replace an existing command or extension.
Keep extension logic simple and well-documented.
Test your extensions thoroughly.
