Johan Persson 42f8c9b2b8 feat(ui): centralize routing in BUIProvider (#33267)
* feat(ui): centralize routing in BUIProvider

BUIProvider now auto-detects React Router context and provides
client-side navigation for all BUI components. Retired
InternalLinkProvider and added BUIRouterProvider as a public
export for integration use.

* feat(plugin-app): move BUIProvider inside app router

Moved BUIProvider from wrapping AppRouter to being a child inside
it, so it detects the React Router context and provides client-side
routing for all BUI components.

* feat(core-app-api): add BUIRouterProvider to legacy app router

Added BUIRouterProvider inside the legacy AppRouter to provide
React Aria routing for all BUI components.

* docs(ui): update BUIProvider documentation for routing

Updated installation docs to cover BUIProvider's routing role
and the requirement to render it inside a React Router context.

* refactor(ui): move BUIProvider from analytics to provider directory

BUIProvider now handles both analytics and routing, so it no longer
belongs in the analytics directory.

* fix(ui): add BUIProvider to storybook stories with MemoryRouter

Added BUIProvider inside MemoryRouter in all stories that use
routing, so client-side navigation works in Storybook.

* fix(plugin-app): move BUIProvider inside RouterComponent

Moved BUIProvider to wrap all content inside RouterComponent
so that extraElements (like dialogs) also get BUI context.

* refactor: replace BUIRouterProvider with BUIProvider in legacy app

Use BUIProvider directly inside the legacy AppRouter instead of a
separate BUIRouterProvider export. Removes BUIRouterProvider from
the public API of @backstage/ui.

Signed-off-by: Johan Persson <johanopersson@gmail.com>

* refactor(ui): inline routing logic into BUIProvider

Removed the routing/ directory and inlined the RouterProvider
setup directly into BUIProvider since it's the only consumer.

What is Backstage?

Backstage is an open source framework for building developer portals. Powered by a centralized software catalog, Backstage restores order to your microservices and infrastructure and enables your product teams to ship high-quality code quickly without compromising autonomy.

Backstage unifies all your infrastructure tooling, services, and documentation to create a streamlined development environment from end to end.

software-catalog

Out of the box, Backstage includes:

  • Backstage Software Catalog for managing all your software such as microservices, libraries, data pipelines, websites, and ML models
  • Backstage Software Templates for quickly spinning up new projects and standardizing your tooling with your organizations best practices
  • Backstage TechDocs for making it easy to create, maintain, find, and use technical documentation, using a "docs like code" approach
  • Plus, a growing ecosystem of open source plugins that further expand Backstages customizability and functionality

Backstage was created by Spotify but is now hosted by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) as an Incubation level project. For more information, see the announcement.
