Depricated Plugin

Open giorgiimnadze11 opened this issue 2 years ago • 10 comments

Hello, I use Grafana Enterprise v9.5.1 (bc353e4b2d) and Plugin FlowCharting v0.9.1.

When I add FlowCharting plugin wrote me a message that if Angular is not replaced in the new version, then this plugin will be disabled from the tenth version of Grafana.

I contacted the Grafana support team and they also told me that if the developers of this plugin do not replace Angular, then the plugin will be disabled.

Please let me know if you plan to update this plugin and support it in the future. I'm using this plugin with draw.io to draw server racks and I'm wondering if it will stop my dashboard from working.

Hi @giorgiimnadze11 there's already a fork with a newer version of flowcharting, send you a link below. It solves the problem with Angular, it still undergoing testing.

Ah so much for optimism. No, no, no, the fork does not fix the Angular problem. This plugin will cease to work with new versions of Grafana starting with 11.x

maybe someone can do a request to migrate from angular to react if he knows on the new fork link https://grafana.com/developers/plugin-tools/migration-guides/migrate-angularjs-to-react

The new fork was for our usage. We do not plan to migrate anything from flowcharting to react. This is a big endeavour. Anyone is welcome to fork it and publish a new version of flowcharting.

I think that we should petition GrafanaLabs to take a look at this. This plugin is very useful and GrafanaLabs has nothing that comes close to functionality offered by it. Maybe it is an option for them to adopt the project ?

Grafana has nothing to do with FlowCharting v0.9.1 plugin! FlowCharting v0.9.1 is opensource community plugin for Grafana!
