With 2018 coming to a close I wanted to look back on a few of the coolest things to come a developer's way from Qlik this year.
Themes was a feature that's been requested since Qlik Sense was first introduced, and it was delivered with Qlik Sense February 2018. Themes define the style of an app. Developers can create custom themes and apply themes to their extensions and mashups. Below are some links to resources and a few cool projects.
Custom Themes Introduction - Start here to create custom themes
Theme API - Theme API reference
SenseTheme - A neat tool to create a theme using a UI
Qlik Sense Theme: Matrix - This is necessary
Picasso.js is Qlik's own open-source library for creating visualizations. It enables developers to create visualizations by simply defining scales, components, and interactions. It's totally responsive, allowing a developer to configure which parts of the visualization are shown at different sizes, it renders in svg or canvas, and it can be extended and themed.
Picasso.js - Here you can find the docs, tutorials, and examples
Picasso Designer - Cool Qlik Sense extension for creating Picasso.js visualizations in Qlik Sense
The Qlik Associative Engine inside a Docker container. Yea, this is awesome. Add some open-source tools. Scaling and performance management with Mira. Communication with the Qlik Associative Engine with enigma.js. Simple data loading with halyard.js. And rendering visualizations with Picasso.js. Oh yea, this is definitely awesome.
