Extensibility
Custom Integration Modules
Extend JKSolutions products for additional infrastructure and regional service providers.
Modular architecture
Provider-specific behaviour should remain inside the appropriate integration module rather than being hard-coded throughout the core application.
Configuration principle
Modules should ship without environment-specific production credentials. The deployment administrator supplies provider endpoints and credentials after installation.
Provider onboarding
- Document the external provider API.
- Identify the JKPanel lifecycle operations required.
- Implement authentication and error handling.
- Create a safe connection test.
- Implement supported lifecycle operations.
- Test against an isolated provider account.
- Document compatibility and limitations.
- Certify before advertising the integration as verified.
Extensions
JKSolutions Extensions can provide a distribution path for additional provider modules and extensions as the ecosystem expands.
