Hello,

I have to develop some kibana 5 plugins based on D3js visualization.  
How is it possible to add D3js visualization into Kibana.  
There are some d3js libraries for that?

Regards,

Hi Corine,

We don't officially support plugin development, but I suggest you take a look at how we've written some of the visualizations in Kibana, and model after that. Here are some links:

- Gauge vis: [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/src/core\_plugins/kbn\_vislib\_vis\_types/public/gauge.js](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/src/core_plugins/kbn_vislib_vis_types/public/gauge.js)
- Markdown vis: [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/src/core\_plugins/markdown\_vis/public/markdown\_vis.js](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/src/core_plugins/markdown_vis/public/markdown_vis.js)
- Tag Cloud vis: [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/src/core\_plugins/tagcloud/public/tag\_cloud.js](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/src/core_plugins/tagcloud/public/tag_cloud.js)

If you find the process of adding a new visualization type to be difficult, then you'll be happy to know that we're currently working on refactoring and simplifying this code so it should become easier in the future.

Thanks,  
CJ
