# Backstage Plugins
A collection of plugins that extend [Backstage](https://backstage.io) to help with developer onboarding, context switching, and automated IDEs (remote or local).
- [backstage-plugin-coder](./plugins/backstage-plugin-coder): A plugin for integrating Coder workspaces with Backstage.
- [backstage-plugin-devcontainers-backend](./plugins/backstage-plugin-devcontainers-backend): A plugin for integrating VS Code Dev Containers extension with Backstage catalog items (no Coder deployment necessary).
- [backstage-plugin-devcontainers-react](./plugins/backstage-plugin-devcontainers-react): A plugin for allowing you to detect and work with Dev Containers repo data added by `backstage-plugin-devcontainers-backend`, namely letting you open a repo in VS Code with a full Dev Containers setup (no Coder deployment necessary).
Please use [GitHub issues](https://github.com/coder/backstage-plugins/issues) to report any issues or feature requests.
## Contributing
To start the app:
```sh
yarn install
yarn dev
```
To run an individual plugin:
```sh
cd plugins/backstage-plugin-$name
yarn install
yarn start
```
Note that the Coder plugin does not support running like this as it currently
uses a backend proxy that is not available when running independently of the
Backstage app.
## Releasing
To draft a release for a plugin push a tag named `$name/v$version` without the
`backstage-plugin-` prefix. For example:
```sh
git tag -a coder/v0.0.0 -m "coder v0.0.0"
git push origin coder/v0.0.0
```
This will kick off an action that will create a draft release for the plugin.
Once you have reviewed the release you can publish it and another action will
publish the plugin to NPM.
