@ -9,6 +9,12 @@ Web ui interacts with installed extensions in the following way:
- extension's javascript files in the `javascript` directory are added to the page
- extension's localization files in the `localizations` directory are added to settings; if there are two localizations with same name, they are not merged, one replaces another.
- extension's `style.css` file is added to the page
- if extension has `preload.py` file in its root directory, it is loaded before parsing commandline args
- if extension's `preload.py` has a preload function, it is called, and commandline args parser is passed to it as an argument. Here's an example of how to use it to add a command line argument:
```python
def preload(parser):
parser.add_argument("--wildcards-dir", type=str, help="directory with wildcards", default=None)
```
