Define Command Outputs

For each command, it would be nice if we were able to tell what the plugin was going to respond with

Let’s say I have a plugin foo that responds to command bar with JSON:

{
  "foo": "bar",
  "baz": "bat",
}

There is no good way to tell BEERGARDEN that the above if the expected output. If there was a way to tell BEERGARDEN that, we would suddenly know a lot more about how a plugin is operating, and whether or not what it responds with is expected or unexpected. This would enable-us to create a flow-based GUI/system.

Yeah, this issue is for the long-term goal of being able to easily tie the output of one plugin to the input of another plugin. Essentially, the idea would be to enable us to create flow-based plugins without ever having to write code. Does that make any sense?

Unlikely to tackle this in the current iteration of BG. Closing for now.
