1
+ # Project overview
2
+
3
+ This repository contains a **Grafana panel plugin**, providing a custom visualization for Grafana dashboards.
4
+ Panel plugins are used to:
5
+
6
+ - Display data from Grafana data sources in custom ways
7
+ - Add interactive behavior (drill-downs, navigation, etc.)
8
+ - Visualize or control external systems (IoT, integrations, custom controls)
9
+
10
+ ---
11
+
12
+ # Plugin anatomy
13
+
14
+ A typical panel plugin includes:
15
+
16
+ ## **plugin.json**
17
+
18
+ - Declares plugin ID, type (`panel`), name, version
19
+ - Loaded by Grafana at startup
20
+
21
+ ## **Main module (`src/module.ts`)**
22
+
23
+ - Exports: `new PanelPlugin(PanelComponent)`
24
+ - Registers panel options, migrations, defaults, ui extensions
25
+
26
+ ## **Panel component (`src/components/Panel.tsx`)**
27
+
28
+ - React component receiving: `data`, `timeRange`, `width`, `height`, `options`
29
+ - Renders visualization using Grafana data frames and field configs
30
+
31
+ ---
32
+
33
+ # Agent goals
34
+
35
+ Agents must:
36
+
37
+ - Preserve the existing options schema unless adding a migration handler
38
+ - Follow idiomatic React + TypeScript patterns used in official Grafana examples
39
+ - Treat **`AGENTS.md` as the authoritative source** over `.config/AGENTS/*`
40
+
41
+ ---
42
+
43
+ # Repository layout
44
+
45
+ - `plugin.json` — Panel plugin manifest
46
+ - `src/module.ts` — Main plugin entry
47
+ - `src/components/` — Panel React components
48
+ - `src/types.ts` — Option and model types
49
+ - `tests/` — E2E tests (if present)
50
+ - `provisioning/` — Local development provisioning
51
+ - `README.md` — Human documentation
52

54
+
55
+ # Coding guidelines
56
+
57
+ - Use **TypeScript** and **functional React components**
58
+ - Use **@grafana/ui**, **@grafana/data**, **@grafana/runtime**
59
+ - Respect `width` and `height`; keep layout responsive
60
+ - Avoid unnecessary dependencies; ensure Grafana compatibility
61
+ - Use useTheme2() from @grafana/ui for visual tokens
62
+ - Avoid to hardcode colors, spacing, padding, or font sizes
63
+ - Follow existing file structure
64
+ - Keep code typed and predictable
65
+
66
+ ---
67
+
68
+ # Safety & constraints
69
+
70
+ Agents must **not**:
71
+
72
+ - Change plugin IDs or plugin type in `plugin.json`
73
+ - Modify anything under `.config/*`
74
+ - Add a backend — panel plugins are **frontend only**
75
+ - Remove or change existing options without a migration handler
76
+ - Break public APIs (options, field configs, panel props)
77
+ - Store or use credentials.
78
+
79
+ Agents **should**:
80
+
81
+ - Keep the plugin backward compatible
82
+ - Mirror patterns from Grafana’s official panel plugin examples

1
+ # Adding a New Panel Option
2
+
3
+ Always complete **all three steps**:
4
+
5
+ ### **1. Extend the options type**
6
+
7
+ File: `src/types.ts`
8
+
9
+ ```ts
10
+ export interface SimpleOptions {
11
+ // existing...
12
+ myOptionName: MyOptionType;
13
+ }
14
+ ```
15
+
16
+ * Property name must match the builder `path`.
17
+ * Type must match expected editor output.
18
+
19
+ ---
20
+
21
+ ### **2. Register the option in `setPanelOptions`**
22
+
23
+ File: `src/module.ts` inside `setPanelOptions((builder) => { ... })`
24
+
25
+ Use the correct builder method:
26
+
27
+ | Type | Builder |
28
+ | ------------------ | -------------------- |
29
+ | boolean | `addBooleanSwitch` |
30
+ | number | `addNumberInput` |
31
+ | string | `addTextInput` |
32
+ | select | `addSelect` |
33
+ | radio | `addRadio` |
34
+ | radio group | `addRadio` |
35
+ | slider | `addSliderInput` |
36
+ | color picker | `addColorPicker` |
37
+ | unit picker | `addUnitPicker` |
38
+ | field namer picker | `addFieldNamePicker` |
39
+
40
+ Template:
41
+
42
+ ```ts
43
+ builder.addXxx({
44
+ path: 'myOptionName', // must match type property
45
+ name: 'My option',
46
+ defaultValue: <default>,
47
+ description: '',
48
+ settings: { /* optional */ },
49
+ // Optional visibility rule:
50
+ // showIf: (opts) => opts.someOtherOption,
51
+ });
52
+ ```
53
+
54
+ Rules:
55
+
56
+ * Every option **must** have a `defaultValue`.
57
+ * Put numeric constraints in `settings` (`min`, `max`, `step`).
58
+ * Use `showIf` for conditional display.
59
+

+ ---
61
+
62
+ ### **3. Use the option in the panel component**
63
+
64
+ File: `src/Panel.tsx` (or equivalent)
65
+
66
+ ```tsx
67
+ export const Panel = ({ options }) => {
68
+ const { myOptionName } = options;
69
+ // apply it in rendering/logic
70
+ };
71
+ ```
72
+
73
+ No option may remain unused.
74
+
75
+ ---
76
+
77
+ # Quick Editor Recipes
78
+
79
+ ### **Boolean**
80
+
81
+ ```ts
82
+ .addBooleanSwitch({ path: 'flag', name: 'Flag', defaultValue: false })
83
+ ```
84
+
85
+ ### **Number**
86
+
87
+ ```ts
88
+ .addNumberInput({
89
+ path: 'max',
90
+ name: 'Max value',
91
+ defaultValue: 10,
92
+ settings: { min: 1, max: 100, step: 1 },
93
+ })
94
+ ```
95
+
96
+ ### **String**
97
+
98
+ ```ts
99
+ .addTextInput({ path: 'label', name: 'Label', defaultValue: '' })
100
+ ```
101
+
102
+ ### **Select**
103
+
104
+ ```ts
105
+ .addSelect({
106
+ path: 'mode',
107
+ name: 'Mode',
108

+ { value: 'b', label: 'B' },
112

113
