title: Persistable State | ||
summary: Persitable state is a key concept to understand when building a Kibana plugin. | ||
date: 2021-02-02 | ||
tags: ['kibana','dev', 'contributor', 'api docs'] | ||
--- | ||
|
||
“Persistable state” is developer-defined state that supports being persisted by a plugin other than the one defining it. Persistable State needs to be serializable and the owner can/should provide utilities to migrate it, extract and inject any <DocLink id="kibDevDocsSavedObjectsIntro" section="references" text="references to Saved Objects"/> it may contain, as well as telemetry collection utilities. | ||
|
||
## Exposing state that can be persisted | ||
|
||
Any plugin that exposes state that another plugin might persist should implement <DocLink id="kibKibanaUtilsPluginApi " section="def-common.PersistableStateService" text="`PersistableStateService`"/> interface on their `setup` contract. This will allow plugins persisting the state to easily access migrations and other utilities. | ||
|
||
Example: Data plugin allows you to generate filters. Those filters can be persisted by applications in their saved | ||
objects or in the URL. In order to allow apps to migrate the filters in case the structure changes in the future, the Data plugin implements `PersistableStateService` on <DocLink id="kibDataQueryPluginApi " section="def-public.FilterManager" text="`data.query.filterManager`"/>. | ||
|
||
note: There is currently no obvious way for a plugin to know which state is safe to persist. The developer must manually look for a matching `PersistableStateService`, or ad-hoc provided migration utilities (as is the case with Rule Type Parameters). | ||
In the future, we hope to make it easier for producers of state to understand when they need to write a migration with changes, and also make it easier for consumers of such state, to understand whether it is safe to persist. | ||
|
||
## Exposing state that can be persisted but is not owned by plugin exposing it (registry) | ||
|
||
Any plugin that owns collection of items (registry) whose state/configuration can be persisted should implement `PersistableStateService` | ||
interface on their `setup` contract and each item in the collection should implement <DocLink id="kibKibanaUtilsPluginApi" section="def-common.PersistableStateDefinition" text="`PersistableStateDefinition`"/> interface. | ||
|
||
Example: Embeddable plugin owns the registry of embeddable factories to which other plugins can register new embeddable factories. Dashboard plugin | ||
stores a bunch of embeddable panels input in its saved object and URL. Embeddable plugin setup contract implements `PersistableStateService` | ||
interface and each `EmbeddableFactory` needs to implement `PersistableStateDefinition` interface. | ||
|
||
Embeddable plugin exposes this interfaces: | ||
``` | ||
// EmbeddableInput implements Serializable | ||
export interface EmbeddableRegistryDefinition extends PersistableStateDefinition<EmbeddableInput> { | ||
id: string; | ||
... | ||
} | ||
export interface EmbeddableSetup extends PersistableStateService<EmbeddableInput>; | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Note: if your plugin doesn't expose the state (it is the only one storing state), the plugin doesn't need to implement the `PersistableStateService` interface. | ||
If the state your plugin is storing can be provided by other plugins (your plugin owns a registry) items in that registry still need to implement `PersistableStateDefinition` interface. | ||
|
||
## Storing persistable state as part of saved object | ||
|
||
Any plugin that stores any persistable state as part of their saved object should make sure that its saved object migration | ||
and reference extraction and injection methods correctly use the matching `PersistableStateService` implementation for the state they are storing. | ||
|
||
Take a look at [example saved object](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/examples/embeddable_examples/server/searchable_list_saved_object.ts#L32) which stores an embeddable state. Note how the `migrations`, `extractReferences` and `injectReferences` are defined. | ||
|
||
## Storing persistable state as part of URL | ||
|
||
When storing persistable state as part of URL you must make sure your URL is versioned. When loading the state `migrateToLatest` method | ||
of `PersistableStateService` should be called, which will migrate the state from its original version to latest. | ||
|
||
note: Currently there is no recommended way on how to store version in url and its up to every application to decide on how to implement that. | ||
|
||
## Available state operations | ||
|
||
### Extraction/Injection of References | ||
|
||
In order to support import and export, and space-sharing capabilities, Saved Objects need to explicitly list any references they contain to other Saved Objects. | ||
To support persisting your state in saved objects owned by another plugin, the <DocLink id="kibKibanaUtilsPluginApi" section="def-common.PersistableState.extract" text="`extract`"/> and <DocLink id="kibKibanaUtilsPluginApi" section="def-common.PersistableState.inject" text="`inject`"/> methods of Persistable State interface should be implemented. | ||
|
||
<DocLink id="kibDevTutorialSavedObject" section="references" text="Learn how to define Saved Object references"/> | ||
|
||
[See example embeddable providing extract/inject functions](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/examples/embeddable_examples/public/migrations/migrations_embeddable_factory.ts) | ||
|
||
### Migrations and Backward compatibility | ||
|
||
As your plugin evolves, you may need to change your state in a breaking way. If that happens, you should write a migration to upgrade the state that existed prior to the change. | ||
|
||
<DocLink id="kibDevTutorialSavedObject" section="migrations" text="How to write a migration"/>. | ||
|
||
[See an example saved object storing embeddable state implementing saved object migration function](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/examples/embeddable_examples/server/searchable_list_saved_object.ts) | ||
|
||
[See example embeddable providing migration functions](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/examples/embeddable_examples/public/migrations/migrations_embeddable_factory.ts) | ||
|
||
## Telemetry | ||
|
||
You might want to collect statistics about how your state is used. If that is the case you should implement the telemetry method of Persistable State interface. |
