Requirements

1. BASE 2.17.0 or later.

Introduction

This package contains some simple BASE plug-in examples. The target group is developers that want's to create their own BASE plug-ins. To install the plug-ins you need a local installation of BASE or administrator access to an existing BASE installation. We don't recommend that the example plug-ins are installed on a production server.

Read ​http://base.thep.lu.se/chrome/site/latest/html/developerdoc/plugin_developer/plugin_developer.html for more information about developing BASE plug-ins.

Currently, this package contains the following plug-ins:

• An importer that pretends to be able to import samples. It will accept any file, but doesn't do anything. Main purpose is to show parameter handling with plug-ins.
• An analyser plug-in that does some bogus calculations on a bioassay set. Main purpose is to show how a plug-in can access analysed data, do some calculations and store the result as a new bioassay set.

Installation

1. Unpack the tar.gz file to a directory of your choice.
2. Copy the example-plugins.jar to your BASE plug-in directory.
3. Install the plug-ins using the BASE web interface. See ​http://base.thep.lu.se/chrome/site/latest/html/admindoc/plugin_installation/plugins.installation.html for more information.
4. Done.
