Devfile Custom Field Extensions (Frontend Plugin)
This plugin is a Custom Field Extension for Backstage. It allows you to add a set of drop-down lists to pick a Devfile Stack version, a version, and a starter project. It interacts with the configured Devfile registry to load the list of available Devfile Stacks.
From your Backstage instance root folder:
yarn add --cwd packages/app @redhat-developer/plugin-scaffolder-frontend-module-devfile-field
packages/app/src/App.tsx
on the frontend package of your Backstage instance:// packages/app/src/App.tsx
import { DevfileSelectorFieldExtension } from '@redhat-developer/plugin-scaffolder-frontend-module-devfile-field';
import { ScaffolderFieldExtensions } from '@backstage/plugin-scaffolder-react';
ScaffolderFieldExtensions
inside Route
, like so:// packages/app/src/App.tsx
<Route path="/create" element={<ScaffolderPage />}>
<ScaffolderFieldExtensions>
<DevfileSelectorFieldExtension />
</ScaffolderFieldExtensions>
</Route>
/devfile-registry
. As such, you need to add the appropriate configuration to your app-config.yaml
file under the proxy.endpoints
field, like so:# app-config.yaml
proxy:
endpoints:
'/devfile-registry':
target: 'https://registry.devfile.io'
You should now see the custom field DevfileSelectorExtension
and its dropdown lists populated if you navigate to the Template Editor page at http://localhost:3000/create/edit.
To use the extension in a Backstage Software Template, you can add the ui:field
field to the parameter. The output of the extension is an object made up of the following fields:
devfile
: the Devfile Stack selected by the user.version
: the Devfile Stack version selected by the userstarter_project
: the Devfile Starter Project selected by the user. Optional.parameters:
- title: Provide details about the Devfile
