Hi, I attempted to register my plugin using this:  
 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/a/a/aafd6a6ccc55d90c1362fcc47dc87868bd9b7530.png)

Here is how I used it:

But I get this error:

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/6/7/672422411a225fd379d0867e03a8bd5dae054642.png)

I changed the code to this (passing an array with my field formatter):

However the page to edit field types comes up blank on kibana

Can someone provide some insight as to what I can do to register my field formatter plugin?

I believe this was already resolved via another support channel but I think

```auto
npSetup.plugins.data.fieldFormats.register([DictionaryLookupProrvider]);

```

is correct and the next line needs to be

```auto
npSetup.plugins.data.fieldFormats.getType("DictionaryLookup");

```
