Qlik Sense extension color

Aurelien_Martinez — Tue, 06 Mar 2018 17:12:11 GMT

Hi,

It's possible to use Qlik Sense color in extension?

If I'm using custom theme can I use it in the extension, like a standard chart ?

I have find the color picker but in the extension I need to define the palette (And if I use custom theme...)

Hi,

Thanks

But in the javascript I need to difine colors like :

var palette = [ "#b0afae", "#7b7a78", "#545352", "#4477aa", "#7db8da", "#b6d7ea", "#46c646", "#f93f17", "#ffcf02", "#276e27", "#ffffff", "#000000" ];

It was fine before the Feb 2018, but now we can change the theme.

Color-picker is great when I want one color, but for multicolor I'm blocked...

With this code, I can use custom colorpicker :

tickerColor:{ type:"object", component: "color-picker", label: "Tricker Color", ref: "trickerColor", defaultValue: { color: "#ffffff", index: "-1" } }

Hi,

Qlik Sense extensions don’t have a built-in way to dynamically use theme-based color palettes, so colors are usually handled within the extension code itself.

To work around this, developers typically manage color logic manually. Tools like SenseOps provide ready-made extensions, but this specific behavior is generally handled at the development level. Know More>>
