Backstage Plugin Bulletin Board (Backend Setup)

Add the backend plugin package:

``bash


From your Backstage root directory


yarn add --cwd packages/backend backstage-plugin-bulletin-board-backend
`

Create a file in packages/backend/src/plugins/bulletin-board.ts:

`ts
import { createRouter } from 'backstage-plugin-bulletin-board-backend';
import { Router } from 'express';
import { PluginEnvironment } from '../types';

export default async function createPlugin(
env: PluginEnvironment,
): Promise {
return await createRouter({
logger: env.logger,
config: env.config,
database: env.database,
});
}
`

In packages/backend/src/index.ts add the following:

`diff
+ import bulletinBoard from './plugins/bulletin-board';

async function main() {
...
const createEnv = makeCreateEnv(config);

const catalogEnv = useHotMemoize(module, () => createEnv('catalog'));
+ const bulletinBoardEnv = useHotMemoize(module, () => createEnv('bulletin-board'));
...

const apiRouter = Router();
+ apiRouter.use('/bulletin-board', await bulletinBoard(bulletinBoardEnv));
...
apiRouter.use(notFoundHandler());
...
}
