This is the reference for the main object Extension. It is optionally wrapped by a Pluggable.

esmerald.Extension

Extension(app=None, **kwargs)

Bases: ABC, ExtensionProtocol

Extension object is the one being used to add the logic that will originate the pluggable in the application.

The Extension must implement the extend function.

Read more about the Extension and learn how to use it.
