Code Customization

The LinChemIn’s architecture is inspired by the object-oriented design principles. In particular, modules and functions follow the “single-responsibility” principle to maximize code reusability, facilitate testing, and support code refactoring. The deliberate usage of appropriate architectural patterns ensures that the code is open for extension but closed for modification. This approach aims to lower the barrier of incorporating external contributions to the code, thus fostering open and collaborative software development.

Below you can find information about how you can add custom features and expand the main functionalities of LinChemIn.

• Adding graph formats
• Adding route descriptors
