Developing a Dashboard Plug-in

Pierre Jacobs_rdowir

Hi, 

 

I am trying to develop my own Jira Cloud Dashboard plug-in using the example "atlassian-connect-jira-dashboard-item-example" hosted on GitHub, but the example doesn't work.

 

Where would be the best place to look for help and support to get started on Dashboard plug-in development?

 

Thank you.

Hi @Pierre Jacobs 

My understanding is that dashboard development is the same as regular connect app development, except you specify in your atlassian-connect.json file you want the app to appear in the dashboard.

To build a connect app, You can use atlassian-conncet-express. Instructions on how to develop the app is on there.

And to add a dashboard item, you can add something like this to your atlassian-connect.json file to indicate you want to insert a dashboard item.

I recommend posting this in the Atlassian Developer Community for more answers.
