## Getting started

Install the package:

```bash
yarn add @medusajs/admin
```

Add the plugin to your `medusa-config.js`:

```js
module.exports = {
  // ...
  plugins: [
    {
      resolve: "@medusajs/admin",
      options: {
        // ...
      },
    },
  ],
  // ...
}
```

## Configuration

The plugin can be configured with the following options:

| Option        | Type       | Description                                                                                                                                             | Default     |
| ------------- | ---------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------- |
| `serve`       | `boolean?` | Whether to serve the admin dashboard or not.                                                                                                            | `true`      |
| `path`        | `string?`  | The path the admin server should run on. Should not be prefixed or suffixed with a slash. Cannot be one of the reserved paths: `"admin"` and `"store"`. | `"app"`     |
| `outDir`      | `string?`  | Optional path for where to output the admin build files                                                                                                 | `undefined` |
| `autoRebuild` | `boolean?` | Decides whether the admin UI should be rebuild if any changes or a missing build is detected during server startup                                      | `false`     |

**Hint**: You can import the PluginOptions type for inline documentation for the different options:

```js
module.exports = {
  // ...
  plugins: [
    {
      resolve: "@medusajs/admin",
      /** @type {import('@medusajs/admin').PluginOptions} */
      options: {
        path: "app",
      },
    },
  ],
  // ...
}
```

## Building the admin dashboard

The admin will be built automatically the first time you start your server if you have enabled `autoRebuild`. Any subsequent changes to the plugin options will result in a rebuild of the admin dashboard.

You may need to manually trigger a rebuild sometimes, for example after you have upgraded to a newer version of `@medusajs/admin`, or if you have disabled `autoRebuild`. You can do so by adding the following script to your `package.json`:

```json
{
  "scripts": {
    "build:admin": "medusa-admin build"
  }
}
```

## Accessing the admin dashboard

The admin dashboard will be available at `your-server-url/app`, unless you have specified a custom path in the plugin options. If you are running your server locally on port 9000 with the default path `"app"`, you will be able access the admin dashboard at `http://localhost:9000/app`.
