(docs) Update Airflow Plugin Documentation #55837
Description
What do you see as an issue?
With the plugin system enhancements being released in Airflow 3.1, while mvp information has been added, it is a good time to revisit plugin documentation to make it more comprehensive.
Solving the problem
Some things we should cover:
- Explain what the plugin system is and why it matters
- Available building blocks
- External Views: Add buttons / tabs linking to new pages
- React Apps: Embed custom react apps into the UI
- FastAPI Apps: Add new API endpoints
- Middlewares: Modify all API requests / responses
- Macros: Functions usable in templates
- Operator Extra Links: Custom buttons on task details
- Timetables & Listeners: Custom scheduling & event hooks
- Plugin management interface
- Custom dashboard examples
- External view iframe integration examples
