[james-leinas]

Consolidation efforts to include custom-code-in-automation-designer code snippets for public availability.

Changes included:

• Updates to README.md (include references to custom-code-in-automation-designer)
• Add plot-chromatogram example snippet and related docs
• Include requirements.txt dependencies
• Add custom-code-in-automation-designer template.py

@damola-benchling -- created PR for migration efforts!

We'll have to figure out how to keep this list somewhat in sync with what we have in our manifest. Or add a comment that the versions and packages they get in Benchling might slightly vary from what we have here? Ideally they shouldn't copy paste this into the editor?

I have some minor feedback about the structuring of the READMEs and left comments there.

Also.
It seems the new structure will look like this:

examples/
├─ custom-code-in-automation-designer/
│  ├─ snippets/
├─ chem-sync-local-flask/

Curious what you think about:

• moving examples/chem-sync-local-flask to examples/benchling-apps/chem-sync-local-flask now? (I think this was what we said we wanted anyway)
• reducing the length of the name of custom-code-in-automation-designer? This is maybe a pet peeve, but long directory names can get gnarly when working in the terminal 😅

I think it will be good to structure the README a little more:

I'm thinking we should have H1 for each category, and H2 headers (and short description) for each example in the category (and we can even use collapsible summary)

Benchling Apps:

...

chem-sync-local-flask

Pre-existing description...

Custom Code in Automation Designer

Contains code snippets, include link to README for snippets

plot-chromatogram

short description...

[damola-benchling]

Yea I think an overview statement should be sufficient here, and then we can just link to the README in examples/sippets/README.md so the rest of the content here will just be in there (rather than duplicated)

@Psterne @damola-benchling -- Updated the PR with your changes.

@Psterne -- pulled the current requirements.txt packages from custom code manifest and removed Benchling-SDK references.

@damola-benchling --

• updated the structure we discussed to:

• Renamed custom-code-in-automation-designer folder to custom-code-AD

• Migrated the README.md content from /custom-code-AD folder to main README.md and added link to example snippets specific README.md

LMK any further feedback!
