user-settings

Welcome to the user-settings plugin!

This plugin was created through the Backstage CLI

About the plugin

This plugin provides two components, <UserSettings /> is intended to be used within the <Sidebar> and displays the signed-in users profile picture and name.

The second component is a settings page where the user can control different settings across the App.

Usage

Add the item to the Sidebar:

import { Settings as SidebarSettings } from '@backstage/plugin-user-settings';

<SidebarPage>
  <Sidebar>
    <SidebarSettings />
  </Sidebar>
</SidebarPage>;

Add the page to the App routing:

import { Router as SettingsRouter } from '@backstage/plugin-user-settings';

const AppRoutes = () => (
  <Routes>
    <Route path="/settings" element={<SettingsRouter />} />
  </Routes>
);

Props

Auth Providers

By default, the plugin provides a list of configured authentication providers fetched from app-config.yaml and displayed in the "Authentication Providers" tab.

If you want to supply your own custom list of Authentication Providers, use the providerSettings prop:

const MyAuthProviders = () => (
  <ListItem>
    <ListItemText primary="example" />
    <ListItemSecondaryAction>{someAction}</ListItemSecondaryAction>
  </ListItem>
);

const AppRoutes = () => (
  <Routes>
    <Route
      path="/settings"
      element={<SettingsRouter providerSettings={<MyAuthProviders />} />}
    />
  </Routes>
);

Note that the list of providers expects to be rendered within a MUI <List>
