# Plugin development
|
|
|
|
From grafana 3.0 it's very easy to develop your own plugins and share them with other grafana users.
|
|
|
|
## What languages?
|
|
|
|
Since everything turns into javascript its up to you to choose which language you want. That said its proberbly a good idea to choose es6 or typescript since we use es6 classes in Grafana.
|
|
|
|
##Buildscript
|
|
|
|
You can use any buildsystem you like that support systemjs. All the built content should endup in a folder named dist and commited to the repository.
|
|
|
|
##Loading plugins
|
|
The easiset way to try your plugin with grafana is to [setup grafana for development](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/blob/master/DEVELOPMENT.md) and place your plugin in the /data/plugins folder in grafana. When grafana starts it will scan that folder for folders that contains a plugin.json file and mount them as plugins. If your plugin folder contains a folder named dist it will mount that folder instead of the plugin base folder.

|
## Examples / boilerplate

|
We currently have three different examples that you can fork to get started developing your grafana plugin.
