Hello There,

I am new with Kibana plugin development. I have created a plugin but i would like to call a angular controller in init function.

For example :

```
init(server, options) {

}

```

I found this in Tim roes plugin development and i found that using this i can use elastic search query.But instead of using any server relation i would like to call a angular controller that i have created in my app.js or if required i can create other page as well.

Let me know if i missed anything to explain.

@lukas @LeeDr your early response will be appreciated.

The `init` function is for initializing your server-side code.

If you want to load client side code, you need to specify it in the uiExports section.

```auto
import { resolve } from 'path';

export default (kibana) => new kibana.Plugin({
  id: 'myplugin',
  publicDir: resolve(__dirname, 'public'),
  require: ['kibana', 'elasticsearch'],
  uiExports: {
    managementSections: [
      'plugins/myplugin/mydirective'
    ]
  },
  init: (server) => {}
});

```
