Getting started

Plugins

Creating a Plugin

Run the following:

$ ./tools/cookiecutter/init.sh frontend/packages/plugins/_template --output-dir frontend/packages/plugins

This will generate a plugin in the frontend/packages/plugins folder. It is important to note you will still need to include the plugin in your frontend/packages/app in the package.json. You will then be able to import it as follows:

$ ./tools/cookiecutter/init.sh frontend/packages/plugins/_template --output-dir frontend/packages/plugins
plugin_name [example-plugin]: github-api

$ vim frontend/packages/app/package.json
# Add the following line to your package.json
# Note all plugins are prefixed with "plugin-" by default with a version number of "0.0.0"
# "@backstage/plugin-github-api": "0.0.0",

$ vim frontend/packages/app/src/App.tsx
# Add the following line to import your generated component
# import { ExampleComponent } from '@backstage/plugin-github-api';
# <ExampleComponent />
