title: Developer Guide

Overview

This documentation explains how to develop this project.

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.6+
  • APISIX 2.7.0

Debug

  • Run make setup Installation dependencies
  • Run make dev to start it

Plugin

Plugin directory

/path/to/apisix-python-plugin-runner/apisix/plugin

the .py files in this directory autoload

Plugin example

/path/to/apisix-python-plugin-runner/apisix/plugin/say.py

Plugin Format

from apisix.runner.plugin.base import Base
from apisix.runner.http.request import Request
from apisix.runner.http.response import Response


class Test(Base):
    def __init__(self):
        super(Test, self).__init__(self.__class__.__name__)

    def filter(self, request: Request, response: Response):
        """
        The plugin executes the main function
        :param request:
            request parameters and information
        :param response:
            response parameters and information
        :return:
        """
        # Get plugin configuration information through `self.config`
        # print(self.config)

        # Set response headers
        headers = request.headers
        headers["X-Resp-A6-Runner"] = "Python"
        response.headers = headers

        # Set response body
        response.body = "Hello, Python Runner of APISIX"

        # Set response status code
        response.status_code = 201

        # Set the plug-in to `stop` type, default `rewrite`, use `self.rewrite()` to declare it as `rewrite` type.
        self.stop()
  • The plugin must inherit the Base class
  • The plugin must implement the filter function
  • filter function parameters can only contain Request and Response classes as parameters
  • Request parameter can get request information
  • Response parameter can set response information
  • self.config can get plug-in configuration information
  • Use self.stop() to set the plugin as a stop type plugin, which will interrupt the request.
  • Use self.rewrite() to set the plugin as a rewrite type plugin, which will not interrupt the request.

Test

Run make test.
