Build your own Appium plugin
summary
Shows how to build an Appium 2.0 plugin as a local Node.js plugin, with concrete steps: add appium-base-plugin to package.json, declare an appium object with pluginName and mainClass, create a class that extends BasePlugin, override commands (example: async findElements that logs via Appium logger and does await next), add newMethodMap routes (example GET /plugin/conf/details), implement shouldAvoidProxy to stop proxying, register a client command (WebdriverIO addCommand → driver.getConfDetails), install/activate locally with appium plugin install and --plugins, and demoed a working device-farm plugin that queues devices, assigns system ports for parallel runs and exposes a simple dashboard.
