Make variable configurable for plugin and reference in code

Elastic Stack Kibana
1

using kibana 5.5.1. The aim is to make a variable through kibana.yml whose edits can be implemented without deleting and re-compiling the optimization folder. Below is the index.js

export default function (kibana) {
return new kibana.Plugin({
id:'my_team_plugin',
uiExports: {
docViews: ['plugins/my_team_plugin/team_plugin']

	},
	config: function (Joi) {
		return Joi.object({
			enabled: Joi.boolean().default(true),
			tx: Joi.string(),});
			},
	});

}

Using this it seems to recognize this line in kibana.yml
my_team_plugin.tx: xxxxxxxxxxx

after the Joi has been configured how can I call the variable in js files so that edits made to the config can be implemented without re-optimization? require('./../index.js') causes an error.

No need to include index.js to access configurations. On the server, configurations are available on the server object. For example, in the APM application, configurations are accessed on the server via server.config()

To access configurations on the client, you must first put them into injectDefaultVars. Then, in the UI code you can access the variables via chrome.getInjected

Thanks for the tip, though I tried following your advice and ended up with this and it is giving me errors

export default function (kibana) {
return new kibana.Plugin({
id: 'my_team_plugin',
uiExports: {
docViews: ['plugins/my_team_plugin/team_plugin']

   injectDefaultVars(server) { 
     const config = server.config(); 
     return { 
       tx: config.get('my_team_plugin.tx'), 
     }; 
   }, 
 }, 


 config(Joi) { 
   return Joi.object({ 
     enabled: Joi.boolean().default(true), 
     tx: Joi.string(), 

   }).default(); 
 },

});
}
if not in index.js where do I put it? That is where it is in the apm example you referenced.

Looks like your index.js file is not quit right. You do not have a comma after docViews. What version of kibana are you using? What is the error message?

export default function (kibana) { 
   return new kibana.Plugin({ 
     id: 'my_team_plugin', 

     uiExports: { 
       docViews: ['plugins/my_team_plugin/team_plugin'],
       injectDefaultVars(server) { 
         const config = server.config(); 
         return { 
           tx: config.get('my_team_plugin.tx'), 
         }; 
       }, 
     }, 

     config(Joi) { 
       return Joi.object({ 
         enabled: Joi.boolean().default(true), 
         tc: Joi.string(), 
       }).default(); 
     }, 
   }); 
}

log [fatal] ValidationError: child "my_team_plugin" fails because ["tx" is not allowed].

looks like the cause of the error was that the joi string and the config.get variable were differe (which was a typo. now corrected). But chrome injector likely wont work with my environment. is there another way to load it as a variable in a way that will allow edits to take place without re-optimizing?

Why would chrome injector not work in your environment?
