title: Create Plugin
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
Tooling for modern web development can be tricky to wrap your head around. While you certainly can write your own webpack configuration, for this guide, you'll be using grafana create-plugin tool
|
|
|
|
Grafana [create-plugin tool](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@grafana/create-plugin) is a CLI application that simplifies Grafana plugin development, so that you can focus on code. The tool scaffolds a starter plugin and all the required configuration for you.
|
|
|
|
1. In the plugin directory, create a plugin from template using create-plugin. When prompted for the kind of plugin, select `datasource`:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
npx @grafana/create-plugin@latest
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
1. Change directory to your newly created plugin:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
cd my-plugin
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
1. Install the dependencies:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
yarn install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
1. Build the plugin:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
yarn dev
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
1. Restart the Grafana server for Grafana to discover your plugin.
|
|
1. Open Grafana and go to **Configuration** -> **Plugins**. Make sure that your plugin is there.
|
|
|
|
By default, Grafana logs whenever it discovers a plugin:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
INFO[01-01|12:00:00] Registering plugin logger=plugins name=my-plugin
|
|
```
