Use Qlik Engine API within an extension or custom component

Anonymous — Sat, 05 May 2018 19:18:57 GMT

Hello,

Is it possible to use Qlik Engine API methods in an extension or a custom component. My understanding is that those include App API, Capability APIs .... but not the methods listed under Qlik Engine API. Is that correct ?

An alternative would be using enigma.js but I can't figure out how to use it

I tried this from the Qlik help but it doesn't work (Qlik Sense Desktop):

define(['util', 'enigma', 'autogenerated/qix/engine-api'], function(Util, enigma, schema) {

var cfg = {

schema: schema,

session: {

host: localhost,

port: 4848,

unsecure: true

}

};

enigma.getService('qix', cfg);

});

Any Ideas ?

Thanks,

Hi,

If you need methods not included in capabilities API, the best way is to use enigmajs. I have described how to do this in a blog post:
