This package exports a module that extends the search backend to also indexing the tools exposed
by the qeta
service.
Add the module package as a dependency:
# From your Backstage root directory
yarn add --cwd packages/backend @drodil/backstage-plugin-search-backend-module-qeta
Add the collator to your backend instance, along with the search plugin itself:
// packages/backend/src/index.ts
import { createBackend } from '@backstage/backend-defaults';
import { searchPlugin } from '@backstage/plugin-search-backend/alpha';
import { searchModuleExploreCollator } from '@backstage/plugin-search-backend-module-explore/alpha';
const backend = createBackend();
backend.add(searchPlugin());
backend.add(searchModuleQetaCollator());
backend.start();
You may also want to add configuration parameters to your app-config, for example for controlling the scheduled
indexing interval. These parameters should be placed under the search.collators.qeta
key.
See the config definition file
for more details.
If your Backstage instance uses service-to-service authentication, the collator will need to have access to a tokenManager
.
This is automatically injected by the collator module when using the new backend system.
But if you are using the old backend system, you will want to add it manually to ensure that the collator makes
authenticated requests to the explore backend.
indexBuilder.addCollator({
schedule: every10MinutesSchedule,
factory: DefaultQetaCollatorFactory.fromConfig(env.config, {
discovery: env.discovery,
logger: env.logger,
tokenManager: env.tokenManager,
}),
});
