proxy:
  '/buildkite/api':
    target: https://api.buildkite.com/v2/
    headers:
      Authorization: 'Bearer ${BUILDKITE_API_TOKEN}'

3. Import it into your Backstage application:

import {
  EntityBuildkiteContent,
  isPluginApplicableToEntity as isBuildkiteAvailable,
} from '@kozmoai/backstage-plugin-buildkite';

4. Add plugin API to your Backstage instance:

// packages/app/src/components/catalog/EntityPage.tsx

export const cicdContent = (
  <EntitySwitch>
    <EntitySwitch.Case if={isBuildkiteAvailable}>
      <EntityBuildkiteContent />
    </EntitySwitch.Case>
    ...
  </EntitySwitch>
);
