Getting started

A data source backend plugin consists of both frontend and backend components.

Frontend

  1. Install dependencies

    yarn install
  2. Build plugin in development mode or run in watch mode

    yarn dev

    or

    yarn watch
  3. Build plugin in production mode

    yarn build

Backend

  1. Update Grafana plugin SDK for Go dependency to the latest minor version:

    go get -u github.com/grafana/grafana-plugin-sdk-go
    go mod tidy
  2. Build backend plugin binaries for Linux, Windows and Darwin:

    mage -v
  3. List all available Mage targets for additional commands:

    mage -l
