This project shows how to create a sample plugin for MarkItDown. The most important parts are as follows:
Next, implement your custom DocumentConverter:
```python
from typing import BinaryIO, Any
from markitdown import MarkItDown, DocumentConverter, DocumentConverterResult, StreamInfo
class RtfConverter(DocumentConverter):
def __init__(
self, priority: float = DocumentConverter.PRIORITY_SPECIFIC_FILE_FORMAT
):
super().__init__(priority=priority)
def accepts(
self,
file_stream: BinaryIO,
stream_info: StreamInfo,
**kwargs: Any,
) -> bool:
# Implement logic to check if the file stream is an RTF file
# ...
raise NotImplementedError()
def convert(
self,
file_stream: BinaryIO,
stream_info: StreamInfo,
**kwargs: Any,
) -> DocumentConverterResult:
# Implement logic to convert the file stream to Markdown
# ...
raise NotImplementedError()
```
Next, make sure your package implements and exports the following:
```python
# The version of the plugin interface that this plugin uses.
# The only supported version is 1 for now.
__plugin_interface_version__ = 1
# The main entrypoint for the plugin. This is called each time MarkItDown instances are created.
def register_converters(markitdown: MarkItDown, **kwargs):
"""
Called during construction of MarkItDown instances to register converters provided by plugins.
"""
# Simply create and attach an RtfConverter instance
markitdown.register_converter(RtfConverter())
```
Finally, create an entrypoint in the `pyproject.toml` file:
```toml
[project.entry-points."markitdown.plugin"]
sample_plugin = "markitdown_sample_plugin"
```
Here, the value of `sample_plugin` can be any key, but should ideally be the name of the plugin. The value is the fully qualified name of the package implementing the plugin.
## Installation
To use the plugin with MarkItDown, it must be installed. To install the plugin from the current directory use:
```bash
pip install -e .
```
Once the plugin package is installed, verify that it is available to MarkItDown by running:
```bash
markitdown --list-plugins
```
To use the plugin for a conversion use the `--use-plugins` flag. For example, to convert an RTF file:
```bash
markitdown --use-plugins path-to-file.rtf
```
In Python, plugins can be enabled as follows:
```python
from markitdown import MarkItDown
md = MarkItDown(enable_plugins=True)
result = md.convert("path-to-file.rtf")
print(result.text_content)
```
