@backstage/plugin-techdocs-backend

0.8.4

Patch Changes

  • fea7fa0ba: Return a 304 Not Modified from the /sync/:namespace/:kind/:name endpoint if nothing was built. This enables the caller to know whether a refresh of the docs page will return updated content (-> 201 Created) or not (-> 304 Not Modified).

0.8.0

Minor Changes

  • e0bfd3d44: Migrate the plugin to use the ContainerRunner interface instead of runDockerContainer(…). It also provides the ContainerRunner to the generators instead of to the createRouter function.

    To apply this change to an existing backend application, add the following to src/plugins/techdocs.ts:

    + import { DockerContainerRunner } from '@backstage/backend-common';

  // ...

  export default async function createPlugin({
    logger,
    config,
    discovery,
    reader,
  }: PluginEnvironment): Promise<Router> {
    // Preparers are responsible for fetching source files for documentation.
    const preparers = await Preparers.fromConfig(config, {
      logger,
      reader,
    });

+   // Docker client (conditionally) used by the generators, based on techdocs.generators config.
+   const dockerClient = new Docker();
+   const containerRunner = new DockerContainerRunner({ dockerClient });

    // Generators are used for generating documentation sites.
    const generators = await Generators.fromConfig(config, {
      logger,
+     containerRunner,
    });

    // Publisher is used for
    // 1. Publishing generated files to storage
    // 2. Fetching files from storage and passing them to TechDocs frontend.
    const publisher = await Publisher.fromConfig(config, {
      logger,
      discovery,
    });

    // checks if the publisher is working and logs the result
    await publisher.getReadiness();

-   // Docker client (conditionally) used by the generators, based on techdocs.generators config.
-   const dockerClient = new Docker();

    return await createRouter({
      preparers,
      generators,
      publisher,
-     dockerClient,
      logger,
      config,
      discovery,
    });
  }

0.7.1

Patch Changes

  • cba5944fc: Change the response status of metadata endpoints in case a documentation is not available to 404 NOT FOUND. This also introduces the JSON based error messages used by other backends.

0.7.0

Minor Changes

  • aaeb7ecf3: When newer documentation available but not built, show older documentation while async building newer TechDocs backend: /sync endpoint added to support above, returns immediate success if docs don't need a build, returns delayed success after build if needed TechDocs backend: /docs endpoint removed as frontend can directly request to techdocs.storageUrl or /static/docs

0.6.5

Patch Changes

  • e7baa0d2e: Separate techdocs-backend and frontend config schema declarations

  • 8686eb38c: Use errors from @backstage/errors

  • 424742dc1: Applies only if you use TechDocs local builder instead of building on CI/CD i.e. if techdocs.builder in your app-config.yaml is set to 'local'

    Improvements

    1. Do not check for updates in the repository if a check has been made in the last 60 seconds. This is to prevent the annoying check for update on every page switch or load.
    2. No need to maintain an in-memory etag storage, and use the one stored in techdocs_metadata.json file alongside generated docs.

    New feature

    1. You can now use a mix of basic and recommended setup i.e. techdocs.builder is 'local' but using an external cloud storage instead of local storage. Previously, in this setup, the docs would never get updated.

Patch Changes

  • a5e27d5c1: Create type for TechDocsMetadata (#3716)

0.5.3

Patch Changes

  • 68ad5af51: Improve techdocs-common Generator API for it to be used by techdocs-cli. TechDocs generator.run function now takes an input AND an output directory. Most probably you use techdocs-common via plugin-techdocs-backend, and so there is no breaking change for you. But if you use techdocs-common separately, you need to create an output directory and pass into the generator.

0.5.1

Patch Changes

  • 8804e8981: Using @backstage/integration package for GitHub/GitLab/Azure tokens and request options.

    Most probably you do not have to make any changes in the app because of this change. However, if you are using the DirectoryPreparer or CommonGitPreparer exported by @backstage/techdocs-common package, you now need to add pass in a config (from @backstage/config) instance as argument.

    <!-- Before -->
    const directoryPreparer = new DirectoryPreparer(logger);
    const commonGitPreparer = new CommonGitPreparer(logger);
<!-- Now -->
    const directoryPreparer = new DirectoryPreparer(config, logger);
    const commonGitPreparer = new CommonGitPreparer(config, logger);

  • 359f9d2d8: Added configuration schema for the commonly used properties of techdocs and techdocs-backend plugins

  • Updated dependencies [8804e8981]

    • @backstage/techdocs-common@0.3.1

0.5.0

Minor Changes

  • a8573e53b: techdocs-backend: Simplified file, removing individual preparers and generators. techdocs-backend: UrlReader is now available to use in preparers.

    In your Backstage app, packages/backend/plugins/techdocs.ts file has now been simplified, to remove registering individual preparers and generators.

    Please update the file when upgrading the version of @backstage/plugin-techdocs-backend package.

    const preparers = await Preparers.fromConfig(config, {
  logger,
  reader,
});

const generators = await Generators.fromConfig(config, {
  logger,
});

const publisher = await Publisher.fromConfig(config, {
  logger,
  discovery,
});

    You should be able to remove unnecessary imports, and just do

    import {
  createRouter,
  Preparers,
  Generators,
  Publisher,
} from '@backstage/plugin-techdocs-backend';

Patch Changes

  • Updated dependencies [a8573e53b]
    • @backstage/techdocs-common@0.3.0

0.4.0

Minor Changes

  • dae4f3983: Breaking changes

    1. Added option to use Google Cloud Storage as a choice to store the static generated files for TechDocs. It can be configured using techdocs.publisher.type option in app-config.yaml. Step-by-step guide to configure GCS is available here https://backstage.io/docs/features/techdocs/using-cloud-storage Set techdocs.publisher.type to 'local' if you want to continue using local filesystem to store TechDocs files.

    2. techdocs.builder is now required and can be set to 'local' or 'external'. (Set it to 'local' for now, since CI/CD build workflow for TechDocs will be available soon (in few weeks)). If builder is set to 'local' and you open a TechDocs page, techdocs-backend will try to generate the docs, publish to storage and show the generated docs afterwords. If builder is set to 'external', techdocs-backend will only fetch the docs and will NOT try to generate and publish. In this case of 'external', we assume that docs are being built in the CI/CD pipeline of the repository. TechDocs will not assume a default value for techdocs.builder. It is better to explicitly define it in the app-config.yaml.

    3. When configuring TechDocs in your backend, there is a difference in how a new publisher is created.

    ---  const publisher = new LocalPublish(logger, discovery);
+++  const publisher = Publisher.fromConfig(config, logger, discovery);

    Based on the config techdocs.publisher.type, the publisher could be either Local publisher or Google Cloud Storage publisher.

    1. techdocs.storageUrl is now a required config. Should be http://localhost:7000/api/techdocs/static/docs in most setups.

    2. Parts of @backstage/plugin-techdocs-backend have been moved to a new package @backstage/techdocs-common to generate docs. Also to publish docs to-and-fro between TechDocs and a storage (either local or external). However, a Backstage app does NOT need to import the techdocs-common package - app should only import @backstage/plugin-techdocs and @backstage/plugin-techdocs-backend.

    Patch changes

    1. See all of TechDocs config options and its documentation https://backstage.io/docs/features/techdocs/configuration

    2. Logic about serving static files and metadata retrieval have been abstracted away from the router in techdocs-backend to the instance of publisher.

    3. Removed Material UI Spinner from TechDocs header. Spinners cause unnecessary UX distraction. Case 1 (when docs are built and are to be served): Spinners appear for a split second before the name of site shows up. This unnecessarily distracts eyes because spinners increase the size of the Header. A dot (.) would do fine. Definitely more can be done. Case 2 (when docs are being generated): There is already a linear progress bar (which is recommended in Storybook).

Patch Changes

0.2.0

Minor Changes

  • 6d29605db: Change the default backend plugin mount point to /api

  • 5249594c5: Add service discovery interface and implement for single host deployments

    Fixes #1847, #2596

    Went with an interface similar to the frontend DiscoveryApi, since it's dead simple but still provides a lot of flexibility in the implementation.

    Also ended up with two different methods, one for internal endpoint discovery and one for external. The two use-cases are explained a bit more in the docs, but basically it's service-to-service vs callback URLs.

    This did get me thinking about uniqueness and that we're heading towards a global namespace for backend plugin IDs. That's probably fine, but if we're happy with that we should leverage it a bit more to simplify the backend setup. For example we'd have each plugin provide its own ID and not manually mount on paths in the backend.

    Draft until we're happy with the implementation, then I can add more docs and changelog entry. Also didn't go on a thorough hunt for places where discovery can be used, but I don't think there are many since it's been pretty awkward to do service-to-service communication.

  • 5a920c6e4: Updated naming of environment variables. New pattern [NAME]_TOKEN for GitHub, GitLab, Azure & GitHub Enterprise access tokens.

    Detail:

    • Previously we have to export same token for both, catalog & scaffolder
    export GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN=foo
export GITHUB_PRIVATE_TOKEN=foo

    with latest changes, only single export is sufficient.

    export GITHUB_TOKEN=foo
export GITLAB_TOKEN=foo
export GHE_TOKEN=foo
export AZURE_TOKEN=foo

    list:

    Old name New name
    GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN GITHUB_TOKEN
    GITHUB_PRIVATE_TOKEN GITHUB_TOKEN
    GITLAB_ACCESS_TOKEN GITLAB_TOKEN
    GITLAB_PRIVATE_TOKEN GITLAB_TOKEN
