Dynamic Imports Example Plugin

Attention: Dynamic plugins are a work-in-progress feature. Please do try it out and give feedback, but use only at your own risk!

This project is meant to be used as a template to create your own Chart Plugins for Superset.

Initializing Your Own Plugin

For now, you can fork this project to get started. Delete the .git folder and run git init if you want a clean commit history.

In the future we plan on adding a Yeoman script, and potentially moving portions of this code into a library to make plugin development simpler.

Developing Your Plugin

To build the plugin:

npm install
npm run build # or npm run build:watch

Superset will need to load your built plugin bundle from somewhere. You can serve the plugin locally using the following command:

npm run serve

While serving up the local plugin, you can add it to your locally running Superset instance under "Custom Plugins". Make sure the DYNAMIC_PLUGINS feature flag is on in Superset. Use the the locally hosted bundle url http://127.0.0.1:8080/main.js when configuring your plugin.

To build for production:

npm run build-prod

The serve command should only be used for local development. In production, it is recommended to host the bundle output of build (located in /dist) on a CDN. The address of the CDN-hosted bundle is then what should be used when adding the plugin to Superset.
