Entity Feedback Backend

Welcome to the entity-feedback backend plugin!

Installation

Install the package

# From your Backstage root directory
yarn add --cwd packages/backend @backstage/plugin-entity-feedback-backend

Adding the plugin to your packages/backend

You'll need to add the plugin to the router in your backend package. You can do this by creating a file called packages/backend/src/plugins/entityFeedback.ts

import { createRouter } from '@backstage/plugin-entity-feedback-backend';
import { Router } from 'express';
import { PluginEnvironment } from '../types';

export default function createPlugin(env: PluginEnvironment): Promise<Router> {
  return createRouter({
    database: env.database,
    discovery: env.discovery,
    identity: env.identity,
    logger: env.logger,
  });
}

With the entityFeedback.ts router setup in place, add the router to packages/backend/src/index.ts:

+import entityFeedback from './plugins/entityFeedback';

async function main() {
  ...
  const createEnv = makeCreateEnv(config);

  const catalogEnv = useHotMemoize(module, () => createEnv('catalog'));
+ const entityFeedbackEnv = useHotMemoize(module, () => createEnv('entityFeedback'));

  const apiRouter = Router();
+ apiRouter.use('/entity-feedback', await entityFeedback(entityFeedbackEnv));
  ...
  apiRouter.use(notFoundHandler());
