Backstage Circle CI Plugin

See Circle CI Builds in Backstage

Getting started is simple

Install the plugin

yarn add @backstage/plugin-circleci

Import it into your Backstage application

// packages/app/src/components/catalog/EntityPage.tsx
import {
  EntityCircleCIContent,
  isCircleCIAvailable,
} from '@backstage/plugin-circleci';

Add the plugin to the CI/CD section

// packages/app/src/components/catalog/EntityPage.tsx
const cicdContent = (
  <EntitySwitch>
    <EntitySwitch.Case if={isCircleCIAvailable}>
      <EntityCircleCIContent />
    </EntitySwitch.Case>
    ...
  </EntitySwitch>

Add proxy configuration

# app-config.yaml
proxy:
  '/circleci/api':
    target: https://circleci.com/api/v1.1
    headers:
      Circle-Token: ${CIRCLECI_AUTH_TOKEN}

Get and provide a CIRCLECI_AUTH_TOKEN as an environment variable (see the CircleCI docs)

Add a circleci.com/project-slug annotation to your respective catalog-info.yaml files following the Component format

# Example catalog-info.yaml entity definition file
apiVersion: backstage.io/v1alpha1
kind: Component
metadata:
  # ...
  annotations:
    # This also supports bitbucket/xxx/yyy
    circleci.com/project-slug: github/my-org/my-repo
spec:
  type: service
  # ...
