BackendSrv interface
Used to communicate via http(s) to a remote backend such as the Grafana backend, a datasource etc. The BackendSrv is using the Fetch API under the hood to handle all the communication.
The request function can be used to perform a remote call by specifying a BackendSrvRequest. To make the BackendSrv a bit easier to use we have added a couple of shorthand functions that will use default values executing the request.
Signature
export interface BackendSrv
Import
import { BackendSrv } from '@grafana/runtime';
Remarks
By default, Grafana displays an error message alert if the remote call fails. To prevent this from happening showErrorAlert = true on the options object.
