# <%= packageName %>
This is the <%= description %> Superset Chart Plugin.
### Usage
To build the plugin, run the following commands:
```
npm ci
npm run build
```
Alternatively, to run the plugin in development mode (=rebuilding whenever changes are made), start the dev server with the following command:
```
npm run dev
```
To add the package to Superset, go to the `superset-frontend` subdirectory in your Superset source folder (assuming both the `<%= packageName %>` plugin and `superset` repos are in the same root directory) and run
```
npm i -S ../../<%= packageName %>
```
If your Superset plugin exists in the `superset-frontend` directory and you wish to resolve TypeScript errors about `@superset-ui/core` not being resolved correctly, add the following to your `tsconfig.json` file:
```
"references": [
{
"path": "../../packages/superset-ui-chart-controls"
},
{
"path": "../../packages/superset-ui-core"
}
]
```
You may also wish to add the following to the `include` array in `tsconfig.json` to make Superset types available to your plugin:
```
"../../types/**/*"
```
Finally, if you wish to ensure your plugin `tsconfig.json` is aligned with the root Superset project, you may add the following to your `tsconfig.json` file:
```
"extends": "../../tsconfig.json",
```
After this edit the `superset-frontend/src/visualizations/presets/MainPreset.js` and make the following changes:
```js
import { <%= packageLabel %> } from '<%= packageName %>';
```
to import the plugin and later add the following to the array that's passed to the `plugins` property:
```js
new <%= packageLabel %>().configure({ key: '<%= packageName %>' }),
```
After that the plugin should show up when you run Superset, e.g. the development server:
```
npm run dev-server
```
