The official store for SciQLop — browse and install community plugins, workspaces, templates, and examples directly from the app.

Browse the store

Open SciQLop, go to the Plugin Store tab, find what you need, and click Install. That's it — no terminal required.

The easiest way to add your plugin, workspace, template, or example to the store is through a GitHub issue:

• Submit a plugin
• Submit a workspace, template, or example
• Update an existing entry

Fill in the form, and a maintainer will review it. Once approved, a PR is created and merged automatically — your entry appears in the store within minutes.

If you prefer pull requests over issue forms, create a YAML file in the appropriate directory. The file name should be a slug of the entry name (e.g. my-plugin.yaml).

name: My Plugin
type: plugin
description: What it does
author: Your Name
license: MIT
github: owner/repo          # optional — displays GitHub star count
tags: [analysis, mms]

versions:
  - version: "0.1.0"
    sciqlop: ">=0.10"
    pip: my-sciqlop-plugin==0.1.0

The pip field accepts a PyPI package specifier (my-plugin==0.1.0) or a direct URL to a wheel.

name: MMS Reconnection Events
type: example
description: Catalog of magnetic reconnection events observed by MMS
author: Community
tags: [mms, reconnection, catalog]
url: https://github.com/.../mms-reconnection-example.zip

SciQLop supports multiple store URLs. Any repository following this structure works as an independent store:

1. Fork or copy this repo as a starting point.

2. Add YAML entries in plugins/, workspaces/, templates/, and/or examples/.

3. Build the index — the build script merges all YAMLs into site/index.json and an HTML browsing page:

   pip install pyyaml jinja2 markupsafe
   python build_index.py

   If you set a GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable, the build fetches GitHub star counts for entries with a github field.

4. Deploy site/ to GitHub Pages (or any static host). The included CI workflow (.github/workflows/publish.yml) does this automatically on push to main.

5. Point SciQLop at your store by adding your index.json URL to the store URL list in SciQLop's settings.

# Build locally
pip install pyyaml jinja2 markupsafe
python build_index.py

# Serve locally
cd site && python -m http.server 8765

The examples/ directory contains a CI template (bundle-ci.yml) for plugin bundle repos that build and release wheels automatically on tag push.
