This project is a Yeoman generator for bootstrapping a Kibana Plugin. It creates a basic hello world Kibana plugin with all the elements in place so you can easily get started with creating your first Kibana plugin.
First you need to install Yeoman
npm install -g yo
Then you need to install the Kibana Plugin generator
npm install -g generator-kibana-plugin
Then generate your new plugin
mkdir my-new-plugin
cd my-new-plugin
yo kibana-plugin
Assuming you've setup a Kibana development enviroment at the same level as your plugin directory (and named it kibana). Then run the following command inside your plugin directory.
npm start
With Elasticsearch already running you should now start Kibana in dev mode.
cd ../kibana
bin/kibana --dev
Visit http://localhost:5601
If you start the generator with the --minimal flag, it will not generate any sample code only
the bare folder structure.
If you start the generator with the --advanced flag, you can choose what sample
components it should generate for you.
