Kibana Core provides a set of low-level API’s required to run all Kibana plugins. These API’s are injected into your plugin’s lifecycle methods and may be invoked during that lifecycle only:
import type { PluginInitializerContext, CoreSetup, CoreStart } from '@kbn/core/server'; export class MyPlugin { constructor(initializerContext: PluginInitializerContext) {} public setup(core: CoreSetup) { // called when plugin is setting up during Kibana's startup sequence } public start(core: CoreStart) { // called after all plugins are set up } public stop() { // called when plugin is torn down during Kibana's shutdown sequence } } The services that core provides are:
- Application service
- Configuration service
- Elasticsearch service
- HTTP service
- Logging service
- Saved Objects service
- UI settings service
Note
Core provides the Kibana building blocks for plugins and is implemented as a collection of packages.
