Write your own

This is the official documentation of the agent_ruby Ruby agent.

Each Plugin is nothing more than a class that implements our Plugin abstract class and can perform customizations at either Agent level, Collection level, or both.

class RemoveTimestamps < ForestAdminDatasourceCustomizer::Plugins::Plugin
  def run(datasource, collection, options)
    # ... call customization methods here
  end
end

3 parameters are provided:

Name
Description

dataSource

An object that allows customizing the whole agent. It has the same interface than the Agent you manipulate outside of Plugins

collection

An object that allows customizing the collection that the Plugin was called from (nil if the Plugin was called on the Agent). It is the same object than is passed when you call customize_collection

options

An array of options that are provided to the Plugin. 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.

class RemoveTimestamps < ForestAdminDatasourceCustomizer::Plugins::Plugin
  def run(datasource, _collection, _options)
    datasource.collections.each do |current_collection|
      if current_collection.schema[:fields]['createdAt']
        current_collection.remove_field('createdAt')
      end

      if current_collection.schema[:fields]['updatedAt']
        current_collection.remove_field('updatedAt')
      end
    end
  end
end
