@backstage/catalog-client

Catalog Client

Contains a frontend and backend compatible client for communicating with the Backstage Catalog.

Backend code may import and use this package directly.

However, frontend code will not want to instantiate a catalog client directly - use the @backstage/plugin-catalog-react package instead, which exports a catalogApiRef that can be leveraged like other frontend utility APIs.
