GoodData.UI SDK - Extensions

   

This package is a part of the GoodData.UI SDK. To learn more, check the source monorepo.

This project implements extensions on top of stable components included in the SDK. The extensions land here instead of their own project as part of their staged development. They typically meet one or more of the following criteria:

• The code is production quality, however:

  • The public API is not yet stabilized and there MAY be breaking changes

  or

  • There MAY be breaking changes in functionality

  or

  • It depends on another extension

• The code itself beta quality

Read on about different extensions to learn more about its stability and quality guarantees.

Pluggable Visualizations

This extension implements visualizations that can be plugged and then used seamlessly in Analytical Designer (AD) and KPI Dashboard (KD). The extension defined Service Provider Interface that the pluggable visualizations must implement and then implements 'pluggables' for all visualizations in the SDK proper.

Quality

The code here is production grade, it is used in AD and KD.

API Stability

The SPI that the pluggable visualizations must implement is of early alpha quality. It is expected to change radically in the future.

Notes

While it is possible to implement new pluggable visualizations, it is currently not possible to plug them dynamically into AD and KD. Today this is done at AD and KD build time.

Embedding

This extension provides InsightView component that allows developers to embed an Insight created using Analytical Designer (AD). This is the spiritual successor of the Visualization component from SDK v7.x.

The main difference between the old Visualization and InsightView is that the InsightView renders the embedded insights using the exact same components that are used in AD = the pluggable visualizations.

Quality

The code here is production grade.

API Stability

The API is stable. No breaking changes expected.

Notes

While we expect breaking changes on the pluggable visualizations API and larger changes in their internals, we do not anticipate breaking changes in the InsightView.

The InsightView component is located in the extensions module purely due to dependency on the pluggable visualizations. It is safe to use in your production code.
