Frontend plugin

To use the frontend components, import the needed package under the following path within an existing backstage application:

cd packages/app
yarn add "@qshift/plugin-quarkus"

Next, customize the packages/app/src/App.tsx file according to the field that you plan to use

Quarkus extensions field

Edit the packages/app/src/App.tsx file to add the tag of the <QuarkusExtensionListField /> within the tag <Route path="/create" element={<ScaffolderPage />}> as described hereafter.

...
import { ScaffolderFieldExtensions } from '@backstage/plugin-scaffolder-react';
import { QuarkusExtensionListField } from '@qshift/plugin-quarkus';

      <ScaffolderFieldExtensions>
        <QuarkusExtensionListField />
