Write your own

This is the official documentation of the @forestadmin/agent Node.js agent.

Each Plugin is nothing more than an async function that can perform customizations at either Agent level, Collection level, or both.

export async function removeTimestamps(dataSource, collection, options) {
  // ... call customization methods here
}

3 parameters are provided:

Name	Description
dataSource (API Reference ↗)	An object that allows customizing the whole agent. It has the same interface than the Agent you manipulate outside of Plugins
collection (API Reference ↗)	An object that allows customizing the collection that the Plugin was called from (null if the Plugin was called on the Agent). It is the same object than is passed when you call customizeCollection
options	Options that are provided to the Plugin. There is no set structure for this parameter, as each Plugin will provide specific mandatory or optional options.

Making your Plugin act differently depending on the Collection

When making a Plugin, you may want it to generalize to many different Collections.

This can be achieved by adopting different behavior depending on the schema of the Collection being targeted.

Relevant documentation:

• DataSourceSchema ↗ (for Plugins working on Charts)

• CollectionSchema ↗ (for all other Plugins)

export async function removeTimestamps(dataSource, collection, options) {
  for (const currentCollection of dataSource.collections) {
    if (currentCollection.schema.fields.createdAt) {
      currentCollection.removeField('createdAt');
    }

    if (currentCollection.schema.fields.updatedAt) {
      currentCollection.removeField('updatedAt');
    }
  }
}
