# React Plugin Development Tools

This directory contains tools for developing React-based Airflow plugins that can be dynamically loaded into the Airflow UI.

## Overview

These tools help you create React plugin projects that:

- Build as libraries compatible with dynamic imports
- Share React instances with the host Airflow application
- Follow Airflow's UI development patterns and standards
- Include proper TypeScript configuration and build setup

## Files

- `bootstrap.py` - CLI tool to create new React plugin projects
- `react_plugin_template/` - Template directory with all the necessary files

## Quick Start

### Create a New Plugin Project

```bash
# From the dev/react-plugin-tools directory
python bootstrap.py my-awesome-plugin

# Or specify a custom directory
python bootstrap.py my-awesome-plugin --dir /path/to/my-projects/my-awesome-plugin
```

## Optional AI Agent Rules

The bootstrap tool asks whether to include AI agent coding rules. Answering yes adds an
`ai-agent-rules/` directory to the generated project with Airflow React plugin conventions and
validation commands. The files use tool-agnostic Markdown, so follow the generated directory's
README to adapt them to the format supported by your AI coding tool.
