Each of the six bundled plugins (computers, equipment, network,
notifications, printers, usb) now has its own Alembic chain with a
baseline migration. Sister sites adopting one of these plugins can
manage its schema via `flask plugin migrate <name>` instead of relying
on db.create_all to bootstrap everything.
Existing single-site deploys that bootstrap via db.create_all continue
to work unchanged. The chains coexist; the bootstrap path stays the
operator's choice.
Framework
- shopdb/plugins/alembic_template.py: shared env.py logic + helpers.
PLUGIN_TABLE_OWNERS pins which tables belong to which plugin (explicit
registry, not import-side-effect). _get_plugin_metadata filters
db.metadata to only the named plugin's tables. create_plugin_tables /
drop_plugin_tables emit DDL via SQLAlchemy CreateTable so the table
definitions stay sourced from the models, not duplicated.
- shopdb/plugins/__init__.py: PluginManager.upgrade_all_plugins() runs
pending migrations across every discovered plugin and returns a status
dict. Idempotent (Alembic skips applied revisions).
CLI
- `flask plugin upgrade-all` runs pending migrations for every plugin.
Used on a fresh deploy after the core schema is in place.
Per-plugin scaffolding
- plugins/{computers,equipment,network,notifications,printers,usb}/
migrations/{alembic.ini, env.py, script.py.mako, versions/0001_baseline.py}
- Each env.py is a 5-line shim that sets PLUGIN_NAME and delegates to
the shared template. Each 0001_baseline calls create_plugin_tables(name)
/ drop_plugin_tables(name); no duplication of column definitions.
Tests
- tests/test_plugin_migrations.py (18 cases): every bundled plugin has
an entry in PLUGIN_TABLE_OWNERS, has the on-disk Alembic scaffolding,
and the filtered MetaData contains every owned table (catches drift
between the template's table list and what the models declare).
- 129 tests pass.

Lowers the barrier for sister sites to build their own plugins.
Generated output satisfies the framework contract out of the box.
CLI command (shopdb/plugins/cli.py):
- `flask plugin new <name> --description "..."` generates a plugin
skeleton under plugins/<name>/. Validates the name against
CONTRIBUTING.md rules (lowercase letters/digits only, no
underscores or hyphens, not in the reserved list) and refuses to
overwrite existing plugins unless --overwrite is passed.
- Output prints the next steps (install, migrate, test).
Scaffolder (shopdb/plugins/scaffolder.py):
- validate_name: enforces the naming rules
- pascal_case: lowercase-to-PascalCase for class names
- scaffold_plugin: copies templates with string.Template
substitution. Three placeholders: $name, $Name, $description.
Files with `model.py` in the path get renamed to <name>.py.
Templates (shopdb/plugins/templates/):
- manifest.json.tmpl: name, version 0.1.0, description, core_version
range >=0.1.0,<1.0.0 (broad enough to survive minor framework bumps)
- plugin.py.tmpl: <Name>Plugin class extending BasePlugin with all
required hooks implemented (meta from manifest, get_blueprint
returning the bp, get_models returning the example model). Includes
on_install hook that seeds the AssetType row.
- models/__init__.py.tmpl + models/model.py.tmpl: Asset extension
table keyed by assetid with one example field. TODO comment marks
it as a placeholder.
- api/__init__.py.tmpl + api/routes.py.tmpl: Blueprint with list and
detail endpoints using the framework's pagination + response helpers.
- schemas/__init__.py.tmpl: marshmallow schema stub.
- tests/__init__.py.tmpl + tests/test_plugin.py.tmpl: smoke tests
asserting plugin loads, get_blueprint returns Blueprint, get_models
returns at least one model.
- README.md.tmpl: one-pager for plugin authors with common edits and
next-step references.
Canary tests (tests/test_plugin_scaffold.py):
- 14 tests asserting the scaffold output passes contract checks.
- Validates name rules (lowercase, reserved, hyphens, digits, etc.)
- Verifies all expected files generated, manifest fields present.
- Loads the generated plugin via PluginLoader (spec_from_file_location
bypasses the real `plugins` package shadowing).
- Asserts subclasses BasePlugin, get_blueprint returns Blueprint,
get_models returns model with __tablename__.
- Module-scoped fixture; cleans up sys.modules + SQLAlchemy metadata
on teardown to avoid cross-test contamination.
Quickstart docs (docs/PLUGIN-QUICKSTART.md):
- 30-minute walkthrough: scaffold -> edit model -> add routes ->
install -> verify -> add hooks. Cross-links to PLUGIN-HOOKS.md and
the ADRs. Includes common-errors table.
Test count: 87 -> 101 passing.
