Introduction
------------
In order to bind user-interface elements to your plugin, an ``api_schema`` variable must be included in your microscope plugin, similar to your ``api_views``.
In order to bind user-interface elements to your plugin, an ``api_form`` variable must be included in your microscope plugin, similar to your ``api_views``.
This variable must be in the form of a dictionary, with all data able to be parsed into JSON. Because of this requirement, it is suggested that you create your API schema as a JSON file, and load that file as a dictionary into your plugin. For example:
This variable must be in the form of a dictionary, with all data able to be parsed into JSON. Because of this requirement, it is suggested that you create your API form as a JSON file, and load that file as a dictionary into your plugin. For example:
.. code-block:: python
import json
HERE = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__)) # Find the full path of your plugin Python file
SCHEMA_PATH = os.path.join(HERE, "schema.json") # Find the full path of the adjascent JSON file
FORM_PATH = os.path.join(HERE, "form.json") # Find the full path of the adjascent JSON file

with open(FORM_PATH, 'r') as sc: # Open the JSON file
api_form = json.load(sc) # Load the JSON file into the api_form dictionary
Throughout this documentation, all example of ``api_schema`` sections will be in JSON format. Keep in mind however that it is possible to directly define your ``api_schema`` as a dictionary, without loading an external file.

Forms from ``api_schema``
Forms from ``api_form``
-------------------------
The ``api_schema`` object essentially describes HTML forms, which it is up to the client to render. The form is constructed by specifying a set of components, and their values. A form can update it's values by sending a GET request to the API route bound to that form, and can send it's current values via a POST request to *this same API route*.

A form can update it's values by sending a GET request to the API route bound to that form, and can send it's current values via a POST request to *this same API route*.
Each component in the form has a ``name`` property, which must match up to a property your API route expects in JSON POST requests, and returns in JSON GET requests.
