How to start developing a molecule driver?

[davidban77]

Hello!,

I am interested in developing a driver for a network emulation tool GNS3. Hopefully to be useful for network infrastructure ansible projects.

I already have some work that can help the development:

• gns3fy: Python client for the GNS3 REST API.
• ansible-collection-gns3: Ansible collection that leverages gns3fy and can be used to interact with a GNS3 server to manipulate its resources.

I am currently using the delegated molecule driver and have some create and destroy playbooks that handle most of the heavy workload, but would like to create a driver for gns3, that may have these as dependencies, to provide full molecule functionality.

Any pointers on how to start about that? I don't think there is documentation on how to start with this so any help is appreciated!
