superset-plugins

This is the Superset Plugins Superset Chart Plugin.

Usage

To build the plugin, run the following commands:

npm ci
npm run build

Alternatively, to run the plugin in development mode (=rebuilding whenever changes are made), start the dev server with the following command:

npm run dev

To add the package to Superset, go to the superset-frontend subdirectory in your Superset source folder (assuming both the superset-plugins plugin and superset repos are in the same root directory) and run

npm i -S ../../superset-plugins

If your Superset plugin exists in the superset-frontend directory and you wish to resolve TypeScript errors about @superset-ui/core not being resolved correctly, add the following to your tsconfig.json file:

"references": [
  {
    "path": "../../packages/superset-ui-chart-controls"
  },
  {
    "path": "../../packages/superset-ui-core"
  }
]

You may also wish to add the following to the include array in tsconfig.json to make Superset types available to your plugin:

"../../types/**/*"

Finally, if you wish to ensure your plugin tsconfig.json is aligned with the root Superset project, you may add the following to your tsconfig.json file:

"extends": "../../tsconfig.json",

After this edit the superset-frontend/src/visualizations/presets/MainPreset.js and make the following changes:

import { SupersetPlugins } from 'superset-plugins';

to import the plugin and later add the following to the array that's passed to the plugins property:

new SupersetPlugins().configure({ key: 'superset-plugins' }),

After that the plugin should show up when you run Superset, e.g. the development server:

npm run dev-server
