Settings

  • Name - Name of your view
  • Custom view renderer - Select your renderer, that you have add to Extentions
  • Data formula - Provide your code with config input


Custom view renderer

It's expected that this extension contains a Javascript. The name of the function can be defined using ext parameter "mainFunction" or it's generated as "main_ext_name".  So e.g. there's the ext param with value "customViewExtMain", so the JS file has main method "customViewExtMain" and that is called with 3 parameters - jQuery, container, conf.



Data formula

Now when you import the attached extension and define this view, you can define "Data formula" where its return value is passed to the JS in JSON format. In this case, with this extension, the data formula can be this:


def conf = [datasetId:814]
conf.imgSrc = '/en/bi/media:showimage/5'
return conf
