Properties

Data

The data needs to be an objects which needs to be passed as data props to the custom component

Code

This field is used to add a React code for your custom component. The packages for the custom component can be imported from Skypack. For example, to import React package into the custom component it can be imported as import React from 'https://cdn.skypack.dev/react'.

Insight² provides 3 props to interact with the app: data, updateData and runQuery.

• data is a shared object between custom component and Insight² app.
• updateData is a function which accepts a single object used to update the data passed to the custom component.
• runQuery is a function which accepts a query name as a string used to run the query from the custom component.

Example:

import React from "https://cdn.skypack.dev/react";
import ReactDOM from "https://cdn.skypack.dev/react-dom";
import { Button, Container, Link } from "https://cdn.skypack.dev/@material-ui/core";

const MyCustomComponent = ({data, updateData, runQuery}) => (
    <Container>
        <h1>{data.title}</h1>
        <Button
            color="primary"
            variant="outlined"
            onClick={() => {updateData({title: 'Hello World!!'})}}>
            {data.buttonText}
        </Button>
        <Button
            color="primary"
            variant="outlined"
            onClick={() => {runQuery(data.queryName)}}
        >
            Run Query
        </Button>
    </Container>
);

const ConnectedComponent = Tooljet.connectComponent(MyCustomComponent);

ReactDOM.render(<ConnectedComponent />, document.body);

Tooljet.connectComponent acts as a HOC and it is required to get access to the data passed into the custom component and run the query
