The following provides an example of each kind of transformer. We recommend creating a `transformers.ts` file in your `packages/backend/src` folder for these.
First, lets set up the basic structure of the file, with functions for each kind of transformer that simply passes through the default transformer unchanged.
```ts title="packages/backend/src/transformers.ts"
import * as MicrosoftGraph from '@microsoft/microsoft-graph-types';
import {
defaultGroupTransformer,
defaultUserTransformer,
defaultOrganizationTransformer,
microsoftGraphOrgEntityProviderTransformExtensionPoint,
MicrosoftGraphProviderConfig,
} from '@backstage/plugin-catalog-backend-module-msgraph';
import { GroupEntity, UserEntity } from '@backstage/catalog-model';
import { createBackendModule } from '@backstage/backend-plugin-api';
// This group transformer completely replaces the built in logic with custom logic.
// The Group transformer transforms Groups that are ingested from MS Graph
export async function myGroupTransformer(
group: MicrosoftGraph.Group,
groupPhoto?: string,
): Promise<GroupEntity | undefined> {
const backstageGroup = await defaultGroupTransformer(group, groupPhoto);
return backstageGroup;
}
// The User transformer transforms Users that are ingested from MS Graph
export async function myUserTransformer(
graphUser: MicrosoftGraph.User,
userPhoto?: string,
): Promise<UserEntity | undefined> {
const backstageUser = await defaultUserTransformer(graphUser, userPhoto);
return backstageUser;
}
// The Organization transformer transforms the root MS Graph Organization into a Group
export async function myOrganizationTransformer(
graphOrganization: MicrosoftGraph.Organization,
): Promise<GroupEntity | undefined> {
const backstageOrg = await defaultOrganizationTransformer(graphOrganization);
return backstageOrg;
}
// The Provider Config transformer enables modification of the plugin config
export async function myProviderConfigTransformer(
provider: MicrosoftGraphProviderConfig,
): Promise<MicrosoftGraphProviderConfig> {
return provider;
}
// Wrapping these functions in a Module allows us to inject them into the Catalog plugin easily
export const myMsgraphTransformersModule = createBackendModule({
pluginId: 'catalog',
moduleId: 'msgraph-org',
register(reg) {
reg.registerInit({
deps: {
microsoftGraphTransformers:
microsoftGraphOrgEntityProviderTransformExtensionPoint,
},
async init({ microsoftGraphTransformers }) {
// Set the transformers to our custom functions
microsoftGraphTransformers.setUserTransformer(myUserTransformer);
microsoftGraphTransformers.setGroupTransformer(myGroupTransformer);
microsoftGraphTransformers.setOrganizationTransformer(
myOrganizationTransformer,
);
microsoftGraphTransformers.setProviderConfigTransformer(
myProviderConfigTransformer,
);
},
});
},
});
// Export a default to make importing into the backend simpler
export default myMsgraphTransformersModule;
```
Now lets customize each of the providers to suit our needs.
The Group Transformer will have the default logic completely removed and replaced with our custom logic:
```ts
export async function myGroupTransformer(
group: MicrosoftGraph.Group,
groupPhoto?: string,
): Promise<GroupEntity | undefined> {
// highlight-remove-start
const backstageGroup = await defaultGroupTransformer(group, groupPhoto);
return backstageGroup;
// highlight-remove-end
// highlight-add-start
return {
apiVersion: 'backstage.io/v1alpha1',
kind: 'Group',

// This user transformer makes use of the built in logic, but also sets the description field
The User Transformer makes use of the built-in logic, but also modifies the username and sets a description
```ts
export async function myUserTransformer(
graphUser: MicrosoftGraph.User,
userPhoto?: string,
): Promise<UserEntity | undefined> {
const backstageUser = await defaultUserTransformer(graphUser, userPhoto);
// highlight-add-start
// Make sure the default transformer returned an entity
if (backstageUser) {
backstageUser.metadata.description = 'Loaded from Microsoft Entra ID';
// Update the description to make it obvious where this entity came from
backstageUser.metadata.description =
'Loaded from Microsoft Entra ID via MyCustomUserTransformer';
// The default transformer sets the username to the email address with invalid characters subbed out: 'user_domain.com'
// Set the username to the local part of the email address in lowercase without the domain
const newName = backstageUser.metadata.name.split('_')[0].toLowerCase();
backstageUser.metadata.name = newName;
return backstageUser;
}
return undefined;
// highlight-add-end
// highlight-remove-start
return backstageUser;
// highlight-remove-end
}
```
// Example organization transformer that removes the organization group completely
The Organization Transformer removes the organization group completely by returning undefined
```ts
export async function myOrganizationTransformer(
graphOrganization: MicrosoftGraph.Organization,
): Promise<GroupEntity | undefined> {
// highlight-remove-start
const backstageOrg = await defaultOrganizationTransformer(graphOrganization);
return backstageOrg;
// highlight-remove-end
// highlight-add-start
return undefined;
// highlight-add-end
}
```
// Example config transformer that expands the group filter to also include 'azure-group-a'
The Config Transformer expands the group filter to also include 'azure-group-a'
```ts
export async function myProviderConfigTransformer(
provider: MicrosoftGraphProviderConfig,
): Promise<MicrosoftGraphProviderConfig> {
// highlight-add-start
if (!provider.groupFilter?.includes('azure-group-a')) {
provider.groupFilter = `${provider.groupFilter} or displayName eq 'azure-group-a'`;
}
// highlight-add-end
return provider;
}
```
Now we just need to add our new module to the Backend.
```ts
// packages/backend/src/index.ts
// Your file will have more than this in it
const backend = createBackend();
...
// highlight-add-start
backend.add(import('./transformers'));
// highlight-add-end
...
backend.start();
```
