Grafana / Plugin Types Bundler

[!WARNING] This is an experimental project and may change at any time. It is not yet used in any of our tools and should not be considered production ready.

@grafana/plugin-types-bundler is a cli tool that can be used to bundle types from the source code of a Grafana plugin. This single file will wrap all the types up into a single d.ts file which can then be shared with other Grafana plugins.

It is recommended that you create a separate .ts file that exports only the types you want to expose rather than run this tool against the plugins module.{ts,tsx} file.

Install

npm install @grafana/plugin-types-bundler --save-dev

Usage

CLI

Call the binary against a typescript file and the package will output a single index.d.ts file in the output directory.

npx @grafana/plugin-types-bundler --entry-point ~/my-grafana-plugin/src/types/index.ts

API

If need be you can import the generateTypes function that writes out the file to disk.

import { generateTypes } from '@grafana/plugin-types-bundler';

await generateTypes({ entryPoint: './types.ts' });

Output

The package outputs a single index.d.ts file containing all the types and their dependencies.
