feat: allow extra tools on custom homepage card #47

Open clanghout opened 11 months ago

clanghout commented 11 months ago

Thanks a lot for this plugin! I like it a lot and am busy convincing my team we need this one in our backstage.

My feature request is that I added a custom tool to the toolbox and would like to be able to use it on the homepage via your plugin.

Happy to give this a try if you think this is feasible.

It makes a lot of sense, only problem is that there is no way to pass the extra tools through cardExtension in plugin.ts. Have to see if there's some workaround for this.

hmm yeah that seems tricky indeed... dynamically loading components is hard to get right from my experience indeed.

as an FYI; I'm not in need of this feature so much anymore 😅 but that does not mean it cannot benefit others of course.

FYI, I opened up a slightly different issue which might be a stopgap solution to this. It requires forking/ building your own homepage however.
