SavedObjectsServiceSetup interface

Saved Objects is Kibana's data persistence mechanism allowing plugins to use Elasticsearch for storing and querying state. The SavedObjectsServiceSetup API exposes methods for registering Saved Object types, creating and registering Saved Object client wrappers and factories.

Signature:

export interface SavedObjectsServiceSetup 

Remarks

When plugins access the Saved Objects client, a new client is created using the factory provided to setClientFactory and wrapped by all wrappers registered through addClientWrapper.

Example 1

import { SavedObjectsClient, CoreSetup } from 'src/core/server';

export class Plugin() {
  setup: (core: CoreSetup) => {
    core.savedObjects.setClientFactory(({ request: KibanaRequest }) => {
      return new SavedObjectsClient(core.savedObjects.scopedRepository(request));
    })
  }
}

Example 2

import { SavedObjectsClient, CoreSetup } from 'src/core/server';
import { mySoType } from './saved_objects'

export class Plugin() {
  setup: (core: CoreSetup) => {
    core.savedObjects.registerType(mySoType);
  }
}

Properties

Property	Type	Description
addClientWrapper	(priority: number, id: string, factory: SavedObjectsClientWrapperFactory) => void	Add a client wrapper factory with the given priority.
getImportExportObjectLimit	() => number	Returns the maximum number of objects allowed for import or export operations.
