# Tools & Libraries

Official libraries and tools for building plugins and integrations with Disguise Designer.

## Python Type Stubs

    A Python library for Designer plugin development. Publishes the DNS-SD service for plugin discovery, enabling Designer to find standalone plugins, and provides APIs for remote code execution on Designer.
    
-   [**designer-pythonapi**](https://github.com/disguise-one/designer-pythonapi)  
    A TypeScript library and Vite plugin to interact with Designer Python APIs. Transforms Python code into JavaScript modules with TypeScript definitions, enabling seamless integration of Designer Python modules into JavaScript/TypeScript projects.
    

## JavaScript & Vue Tools

-   [**vue-liveupdate**](https://github.com/disguise-one/vue-liveupdate)  
    Disguise Live Update WebSocket composable and helper component for Vue.js. Provides live read and write of values into a disguise session, useful for building real-time plugin UIs.

## Example Projects
