I want to have my tap-quickbase-json plugin listed on the hub.meltano.com site, but I’m having trouble finding detailed info on that process. I found this page, which has a link to “contribute” a plugin, but that just opens up a blank issue in github without telling me what you want to know to get it listed. It also looks like I might need a

discovery.yml

file somewhere in my (?) project, but there are just some keyword descriptions and not a complete example.

https://github.com/meltano/hub/issues has a singer tap template that gives a nice step by step I think!

Thanks, I’ll try that

For anyone else looking for instructions on how to contribute to hub.meltano.com, I think the easiest way to understand this is to add a PR for the hub in which you create a

.yml

file in the appropriate sub-directory (e.g.,

hub/_data/meltano/extractors/<tap-mytap>/<maintainer-name>.yml

). I used one of the other taps as a template. And this doc as a guide as well. Here is the template that comes when you try to submit a pull request (can’t find it prior to that step)

All Singer definitions are stored in `/_data/meltano/extractors/` or `/_data/meltano/loaders. The minimal requirement for adding a tap or target will match the following format:

```yaml
description: General description of what the company behind the API does
entity_type: Review the JSON Schema for latest options. Currently api, file, database.
entity_url: URL of the developer documentation or website
label: Properly formatted label of the connector
name: The unique name of the connector
singer_name: The Singer specific name of the connector. Typically tap-<name> or target-<name>
type: tap or target
variants: # an array of variant types
- default: true or false
  maintenance_status: "Options: active, beta, development, inactive, unknown"
  meltano_sdk: true or false
  name: Name of the GitHub/GitLab namespace
  pip_url: git+<git_url>.git or pip instal name
  repo: repo URL
  capabilities:
    - catalog
    - discover
  settings:
    # Can be an empty array if unknown: []
    # Describe the list of supported settings, for example:
    - name: project_ids
      kind: array
      label: Project IDs
      description: Array of project IDs.
    - name: username
      label: Username
      description: Credentials used when for connecting to the source.
    - name: password
      kind: password
      label: Password
      description: Credentials used when for connecting to the source.

## Checklist - [ ] Add/update the file in the appropriate folder (

/taps

or

/targets

). The name of the file should match the name of the tap. If there is already one, add a descriptor to the name such as

-search

. - [ ] Add/update the PNG logo image in

/assets/logos/<taps or targets>

. The image name must match the YAML file name. - [ ] Tag

@tayloramurphy

or

@pnadolny13

to flag it for review. Or post to the [#hub](https://meltano.slack.com/archives/C01UGBSJNG5) channel on Meltano slack.``` Be aware that I was also told by @taylor that since my tap was the first of it’s kind and the default that I had to add an entry to the

default_variants.yml

file
