Best practice for developing mashups in QlikSense

[razvan_brais]

Hey guys . I want to know what is your opinion about what to use in developing qlik sense mashups. I saw that I can use React.js , Angular.js or Node.js .

Which is better and why?

Can you please give me some suggestions?

Thank you.

Hi Razvan,

I developed a mashup with Angular.js for my work.

I downloaded this example on Qlik branch http://branch.qlik.com/#!/project/56728f52d1e497241ae6986a‌ and I transformed it.

In order to simplify the code, I use master item when I want to display a graph, so I maintain it in Qlik Sense.

If I want to display simple text, I use an hypercube with a callback fonction (Callback function for a measure).

How come you recommend not building mashups?

As a data scientist and a javascript developer - I've reviewed many reporting softwares and qliks main advantage in my opinion is the mashup capability - without that, Power BI destroys qlik.

Imagine making a SaaS Dashboard for a client with a full login capability - permissions for different departments etc. - going to a client with just qlik sense desktop is insanity in terms of providing real value - even worse for cloud as custom extensions dont translate there.

How do you guys develop full solutions for your clients - (yes I understand deploying a web app is alot of work but wouldnt it make you stand out from other BI developers/analysts?)

Just sharing some ideas... maybe there are limitations I'm not aware of?

If you are serious on enhancing the User Experience (and money backs you up) I don't see why not?! MASHUPS do require MORE... but certainly take you to a whole new level.

If you are planning to build mashups in React, check out my project https://www.motor-js.io/.

It's free, open source and will make things super easy if you have some React experience.
