Introduction

LiveTiles Reach provides the concept of plugins to extend the capabilities of Reach with custom functionality. With this concept the Reach client applications become a flexible client application platform which can be extended with additional functionality.

A plugin is an external application that consist of a frontend and optionally of a backend. It brings additional functionality to the application by either extending the existing Reach features or by introducing new functionality via a separate module within the Reach app. The plugin can leverage the Reach backend API to access all the functionality of Reach. To easily integrate within the Reach client applications a client CLI and a React library is available to implement the custom React components.
