:warning: We do not support plugins written in angular
In case you have an existing plugin previously created using the @grafana/toolkit you can use the
following command to migrate it to the new build tooling:
`bashRun this command from the root of your plugin
cd ./my-plugin
npx @grafana/create-plugin@latest migrate
`
For more information see here
---
In case your plugin was using @grafana/toolkit before make sure to migrate it first using npx @grafana/create-plugin migrate.
As new Grafana versions come out we keep updating our plugin build tooling as well to stay compatible and to make it more performant.
In order to receive these changes and to make sure your plugin is compatible with the most recent Grafana versions you can use the update command,
that automatically updates the build configuration for you:
`bashRun this command from the root of your plugin
cd ./my-plugin
npx @grafana/create-plugin@latest update
`
For more information see here
---
You can read more about customizing or extending the basic configuration in our documentation.
You can streamline the plugin review process by incorporating provisioning into your existing plugin, enabling reviewers to test your plugin more efficiently.
`bashRun this command from the root of your plugin
cd ./my-plugin
npx @grafana/create-plugin@latest provisioning
``
For more information see our documentation.
