Kibana Core provides a set of low-level API’s required to run all Kibana plugins. These API’s are injected into your plugin’s lifecycle methods and may be invoked during that lifecycle only:
import type { PluginInitializerContext, CoreSetup, CoreStart } from '@kbn/core/server';
export class MyPlugin {
constructor(initializerContext: PluginInitializerContext) {}
public setup(core: CoreSetup) {
// called when plugin is setting up during Kibana's startup sequence
}
public start(core: CoreStart) {
// called after all plugins are set up
}
public stop() {
// called when plugin is torn down during Kibana's shutdown sequence
}
}

Core provides the Kibana building blocks for plugins and is implemented as a collection of packages.
