The template parameter example isn't working

@t1agob docs look great, thank you!

I have found out what I was missing to get the documented template to work:

create the file packages/backend/src/plugins/pagerduty.ts with following content:

import { createRouter } from '@pagerduty/backstage-plugin-backend';
import { Router } from 'express';
import { PluginEnvironment } from '../types';

export default async function createPlugin(
  env: PluginEnvironment,
): Promise<Router> {
  return await createRouter({
    logger: env.logger,
    config: env.config,
  });
}

And then add to packages/backend/src/index.ts:

// In packages/backend/src/index.ts
import pagerduty from './plugins/pagerduty';
// ...
async function main() {
  // ...
  const pagerdutyEnv = useHotMemoize(module, () => createEnv('pagerduty'));
  // ...
  apiRouter.use('/pagerduty', await todo(pagerdutyEnv));

I'd recommend updating the instructions to setup the backend.
Some other plugins have similar instructions (as an example, see TODO: https://github.com/backstage/backstage/tree/master/plugins/todo)

Hello @crivetechie!
Sorry for the trouble here. I totally missed this part in the documentation.

Adding it immediately and will tag you here if you want to review it before I close this issue.

@crivetechie the documentation has been updated 👉🏼 https://pagerduty.github.io/backstage-plugin-docs/getting-started/backstage/#add-the-backend-plugin-to-your-application

Let me know if that looks good to you and I'll close the ticket. Feel free to suggest any additional changes.
