DataSourceApi class
The main data source abstraction interface, represents an instance of a data source
Although this is a class, datasource implementations do not *yet* need to extend it. As such, we can not yet add functions with default implementations.
Signature
declare abstract class DataSourceApi<TQuery extends DataQuery = DataQuery, TOptions extends DataSourceJsonData = DataSourceJsonData, TQueryImportConfiguration extends Record<string, object> = {}> Import
import { DataSourceApi } from '@grafana/data';Constructors

| constructor(instanceSettings) | Constructs a new instance of the DataSourceApi class |
Properties
