import { OktaOrgDiscoveryEntityProvider } from '@seatgeek/backstage-plugin-catalog-backend-module-okta';

export default async function createPlugin(
  env: PluginEnvironment,
): Promise<Router> {
  const builder = await CatalogBuilder.create(env);
  builder.addEntityProvider(
    ...OktaOrgDiscoveryEntityProvider.fromConfig(env.config, {
      logger: env.logger,
      schedule: env.scheduler.createScheduledTaskRunner({
        frequency: { days: 1 },
        timeout: { minutes: 5 },
      }),
      // query params passed to the okta api groups request
      listGroupsRequest: {
        filter: 'type Eq "TEAM"',
      },
      // transforms the okta api user object into a UserEntity
      userTransformer: oktaUser => ({
        apiVersion: 'backstage.io/v1alpha1',
        kind: 'User',
        metadata: {
          name: oktaUser.profile!.email!.split('@')[0],
        },
        spec: {

          },
          memberOf: [],
        },
      }),
      // transforms the group api user object into a GroupEntity

        kind: 'Group',
        metadata: {

        },
        spec: {

          children: [],
          profile: {
            displayName: oktaGroup.profile!.name!,
          },
