Ability to only display data source in variable query editor #75551

Open cameronwaterman opened 1 year ago

cameronwaterman commented 1 year ago

Why is this needed:

I have a use-case for a data source that only makes sense to be displayed in the context of the dashboard query variable editor.

See https://github.com/grafana/grafana/pull/75323 for more information.

What would you like to be added:

See PR referenced above.

Who is this feature for?

Developers of custom data sources.

sunker commented 1 year ago

Currently, the annotation editor, variable query editor and meta data inspector editor are opt-in for a data source. The query editor (displayed in panel edit and explore) is the only view that is not optional - the plugin is always displayed in the data source picker when in the panel edit or explore context. If this FR is implemented, it would be possible to opt-out on the query editor view too. However, it would need to default to true (i.e being displayed by default) to not break existing functionality.
