[Plugin] Conflict when using angular bootstrap

Elastic Stack Kibana
2

Hi Alin,

If your plugin has dependencies which conflict with those in Kibana, it sounds like you have three options:

  1. Fork Kibana and update the dependencies (not recommended because this will be very difficult for you to maintain as we develop Kibana).
  2. Create a PR into Kibana which updates angular-ui-bootstrap to the version you need (may be somewhat difficult, but not impossible).
  3. Use a different dependency or fork the dependency and downgrade the version of angular-ui-bootstrap it uses (not sure how hard this will be; I think you're in a better position to determine this).

I'd recommend trying #2 first. I'd be happy to review your PR and help you get it merged in, just tag me @cjcenizal when you submit it. If that doesn't work, I'd suggest #3. Sometimes taking control over a dependency is best because you can decide exactly what code makes it into your codebase. #1 is the nuclear option and not recommended.

Hope this helps!

Thanks,
CJ
