Could somebody provide me an example how to create a plugin for custom field formatters?
I had one for 6.x but since the architecture of the plugins changed in 7.9.x I am looking for some help to register my plugin where I have couple of custom field formatters. My previous version was like below:
```
return new kibana.Plugin({
name: 'my-field-formatters',
require: ['kibana'],
uiExports: {
hacks: ["plugins/my-field-formatters/hack"],
fieldFormats: ['plugins/my-field-formatters/formatter1']
})
```
Any example for 7.9.x would be great. Thanks in advance.

@nrt.krishna Migrating legacy (pre-Kibana Platform) plugins can be tricky and we tried to cover the 'how-to' in the docs for integrating legacy (older) plugins to the Kibana Platform [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/7.9/development-plugin-resources.html). The [extended guide](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/7.9/development-plugin-resources.html#_kibana_platform_migration_guide) goes into much more detail.
