Client-side database library for the ROMI (Robotics for Microfarms) plant database ecosystem.

This package provides a Python interface for interacting with ROMI's plant database system,
enabling efficient storage, retrieval, and management of plant-related data.

Features include:
- REST API integration
- Data validation
- Streamlined access to plant phenotyping data.

## Overview

PlantDB is a library designed for plant and agricultural research facilities and robotics labs that require lightweight plant data management infrastructure.

It consists of three components:

1. `plantdb.commons`: provides a **Python API** for interacting with plant data
2. `plantdb.server`: provides the _server-side_ REST API to interact with plant data
3. `plantdb.client`: provides the _client-side_ REST API to interact with plant data

For comprehensive documentation of the _PlantImager_ project, visit: [https://docs.romi-project.eu/plant_imager/](https://docs.romi-project.eu/plant_imager/)

API documentation for the `plantdb` library is available at: [https://romi.github.io/plantdb/](https://romi.github.io/plantdb/)

## Environment Setup

We strongly recommend using isolated environments to install ROMI libraries.

This documentation uses `conda` as both an environment and package manager.
If you don't have`miniconda3` installed, please refer to the [official documentation](https://docs.conda.io/en/latest/miniconda.html).

To create a new conda environment for PlantDB:
``` shell
conda create -n plantdb 'python=3.10' ipython
```

## Installation

Activate your environment and install the packages using `pip`:

``` shell
conda activate plantdb  # activate your environment first!
pip install plantdb.commons plantdb.server plantdb.client
```
