@grafana/eslint-plugin-plugins

eslint-plugin-plugins

is-compatible is a simple ESLint plugin that checks whether imports from any of the Grafana packages (@grafana/ui, @grafana/data and @grafana/runtime) from within a Grafana plugin source code exist in all the Grafana runtimes that the plugin is supposed to support (as specified in the grafanaDependency in plugin.json).

How to install

npm install @grafana/eslint-plugin-plugins --save-dev

Configure

Add the following to your Grafana plugin's .eslintrc:

{
  ...
  "plugins": ["@grafana/eslint-plugin-plugins"],
  "rules": {
    "@grafana/plugins/import-is-compatible": ["warn"]
  }
}

To determine the plugin's minimum supported Grafana version, the linter checks the grafanaDependency property in the plugin's plugin.json. By default, it looks for plugin.json in the <projectRoot>/src folder. If the file is located elsewhere or if you're using a monorepo with multiple plugins that have different grafanaDependency values, you can specify minGrafanaVersion directly in the ESLint configuration.

{
  ...
  "plugins": ["@grafana/eslint-plugin-plugins"],
  "rules": {
    "@grafana/plugins/import-is-compatible": ["warn", { "minGrafanaVersion": "10.3.0" }]
  }
}

Lint

npm run lint

If your IDE has an ESlint integration that displays errors and warning in the source code, you may need to restart the ESlint server. In VSCode you can run the task ESLint: Restart ESlint Server.

How it works

When the ESlint plugin is loaded the first time, it will check the grafanaDependency property in the Grafana plugin's plugin.json file to find the min supported Grafana version. If for example the grafanaDependency is set to >=10.0.2, @grafana/ui@10.0.2, @grafana/data@10.0.2 and @grafana/runtime@10.0.2 will be downloaded to a temp directory on the host machine. It will then check that imports from any of these packages within the plugin source code has a corresponding export in version 10.0.2 of these packages. If not, a problem is reported. It currently ignores member that don't exist at runtime such as types, interfaces and enums.

The import-is-compatible rule only checks backwards compatibility. If a member has been removed in an upcoming release of the Grafana packages, it will not be detected.
