Making extensions

Start off by copying the example extension in lnbits/extensions/example into your own:

cp lnbits/extensions/example lnbits/extensions/mysuperplugin -r # Let's not use dashes or anything; it doesn't like those.
cd lnbits/extensions/mysuperplugin
find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 sed -i 's/example/mysuperplugin/g' # Change all occurrences of 'example' to your plugin name 'mysuperplugin'.

Going over the example extension's structure:

  • views_api.py: This is where your public API would go. It will be exposed at "$DOMAIN/$PLUGIN/$ROUTE". For example: https://lnbits.com/mysuperplugin/api/v1/tools.
  • views.py: The / path will show up as your plugin's home page in lnbits' UI. Other pages you can define yourself. The templates folder should explain itself in relation to this.
  • migrations.py: Create database tables for your plugin. They'll be created when you run pipenv run flask migrate.
