[dependabot]

Bumps @backstage/plugin-scaffolder from 1.16.0 to 1.18.0.

Release notes

Sourced from @​backstage/plugin-scaffolder's releases.

v1.18.0

These are the release notes for the v1.18.0 release of Backstage.

A huge thanks to the whole team of maintainers and contributors as well as the amazing Backstage Community for the hard work in getting this release developed and done.

Highlights

BREAKING: Kubernetes backend auth strategies

Integrators can now bring their own auth strategies through the use of the addAuthStrategy method on KubernetesBuilder. As part of this, setAuthTranslatorMap has also been removed and the concept moves into the auth strategies instead.

BREAKING: Public GitLab User/Group Ingestion

If you ingest users/groups from GitLab using GitlabOrgDiscoveryEntityProvider, you now have to scope its work to a certain group. The backend will not start up successfully without that.

catalog:
  providers:
    gitlab:
      yourProviderId:
        host: gitlab.com
        orgEnabled: true
+       group: org/teams

New plugin: OpenCost

There’s a new OpenCost plugin that provides a port of the latest OpenCost UI to Backstage. The plugin's README covers installation and configuration.

TypeScript 5.0

The minimum TypeScript version is now v5.0, please make sure that you upgrade the TypeScript dependency in your own projects accordingly.

Backend System: Ready for use!

We believe that we have now reached a point where we want to encourage use of the New Backend System. There are still things to iron out and plugins to be migrated, but we consider it to be ready for production use. Please check out the migration guide for backends, and use the legacyPlugin helper to install any plugins that are not ready for use directly with the new system.

For local development we also encourage you to try out the new package start command for backends in the CLI, which you enable by setting EXPERIMENTAL_BACKEND_START=1 in the environment. This new way of running the backend no longer uses Webpack, in favor of a more plain watch mode with module loaders. It does however still maintain the SQLite database state across restarts without filesystem overhead. If all goes according to plan this will be the new default starting from the next release.

Backend System: Default Exports

Plugins and modules leveraging the New Backend System are now supposed to be the default export of their respective packages. This clarifies what the main entrypoint of each package is, facilitates automatic feature discovery, and also lets you easily make dynamic import one-liners in your code. We have made this change to a lot of the packages that had already been migrated to the new backend system. So after upgrading to this version of Backstage, you may find that imports in your backend package no longer match.

For example, if you are currently importing plugins using the following pattern:
