Build your plugin

To build a zip of your plugin, run the following:

yarn plugin-helpers build

This will produce a zip file under {root}/plugins/{plugin}/build/{plugin-id}-{plugin-version}.zip

If you would like to build a zip of your plugin for a specific version of OpenSearch Dashboards, run the following:

yarn plugin-helpers build --opensearch-dashboards-version={desired-version}

This will produce a zip file under {root}/plugins/{plugin}/build/{plugin-id}-{desired-version}.zip. The benefit here is that this will set the opensearchDashboardsVersion in {plugin}/opensearch_dashboards.json to be {desired-version}. So even if the plugin version does not match OpenSearch Dashboards will check if opensearchDashboardsVersion is the current version of OpenSearch Dashboards.
