Developing add-ons¶

Add-ons are way to customize localization workflow in Weblate.

class weblate.addons.base.BaseAddon(storage: Addon)¶

Base class for Weblate add-ons.

classmethod can_install(component: Component, user: User | None)¶: Check whether add-on is compatible with given component.

component_update(component: weblate.trans.models.Component) → None¶: Event handler for component update.

configure(configuration) → None¶: Save configuration.

daily(component: weblate.trans.models.Component) → None¶: Event handler daily.

classmethod get_add_form(user: User | None, *, component: Component | None = None, project: Project | None = None, **kwargs)¶: Return configuration form for adding new add-on.

get_settings_form(user: User | None, **kwargs)¶: Return configuration form for this add-on.

post_add(translation: Translation) → None¶: Event handler after new translation is added.

post_commit(component: weblate.trans.models.Component, store_hash: bool) → None¶: Event handler after changes are committed to the repository.

post_push(component: weblate.trans.models.Component) → None¶: Event handler after repository is pushed upstream.

post_update(component: weblate.trans.models.Component, previous_head: str, skip_push: bool) → None¶

Event handler after repository is updated from upstream.

Parameters:

previous_head (str) – HEAD of the repository prior to update, can be blank on initial clone.
skip_push (bool) – Whether the add-on operation should skip pushing changes upstream. Usually you can pass this to underlying methods as commit_and_push or commit_pending.

pre_commit(translation: Translation, author: str, store_hash: bool) → None¶: Event handler before changes are committed to the repository.

pre_push(component: weblate.trans.models.Component) → None¶: Event handler before repository is pushed upstream.

pre_update(component: weblate.trans.models.Component) → None¶: Event handler before repository is updated from upstream.

save_state() → None¶: Save add-on state information.

store_post_load(translation: Translation, store: TranslationFormat) → None¶

Event handler after a file is parsed.

It receives an instance of a file format class as a argument.

This is useful to modify file format class parameters, for example adjust how the file will be saved.

unit_pre_create(unit: Unit) → None¶: Event handler before new unit is created.

user()¶: Weblate user used to track changes by this add-on.

class weblate.addons.models.Addon¶: ORM object for an add-on.

class weblate.trans.models.Component¶: ORM object for a component.

class weblate.trans.models.Translation¶: ORM object for a translation.

class weblate.trans.models.Project¶: ORM object for a project.

class weblate.trans.models.Unit¶: ORM object for an unit.
