perses-plugin-pipeline

You scaffold a Perses plugin using the `percli plugin generate` command, which initializes the project structure and guides you through a six-phase workflow from schema definition to deployment.

The Perses plugin development lifecycle consists of six phases: SCAFFOLD, SCHEMA, IMPLEMENT, TEST, BUILD, and DEPLOY, with enforced phase gates and validation ensuring reliable progression from project initialization to server deployment.

Yes, the pipeline supports comprehensive development workflows for all Perses plugin types, including Panel plugins and Datasource plugins, guiding each type through the full scaffold to deploy lifecycle.

Yes, percli is required for Perses plugin development, as it handles scaffolding, CUE schema validation, and build artifacts, ensuring plugins are correctly packaged and can be deployed to a Perses server.

Schema validation for Perses plugins involves defining and validating CUE schemas during the SCHEMA phase, ensuring the plugin's data structure is correct before moving to the React component implementation phase.

Phase gates are enforced validation checkpoints between the six lifecycle phases—SCAFFOLD, SCHEMA, IMPLEMENT, TEST, BUILD, and DEPLOY—ensuring each stage meets quality criteria before advancing to the next step in plugin development.
