Code Management: How to import scripts

Wed, 20 Jul 2016 06:37:29 GMT

Hello,

I have questions regarding code management and best practises for big projects.

Is it possible to write script functions (in the load script) one time in a certain place and use them (via some kind of import) for different apps without copying the same code into the app?

What is the best way to manage data? Is there a way to manage it globally and use it across different apps?

The goal is to avoid redundancy and minimise coding.

Thanks in advance

Yes, certainly.

I think you're looking for the Qlik Deployment Framework.

How so? Does this also imply using QlikView Deployment Framework?

I guess it's also usable for Qlik Sense?

You can use the Include directive to include a text file (with for example script code) in your apps script. See the online help for more information: Include ‒ Qlik Sense‌

You do not need QDF to be able to use Include. But QDF makes it a lot easier to reuse code and other resources in apps. And yes, QDF can also be used with Qlik Sense.

The include is what I was looking for. But the QDF also looks promising. Thanks! I appreciate your answer.
