Mashup editor

Hi,

I don't know the basics of web development. So excuse me if this question sounds silly. I was going through the mashup editor in Qliksense November 2017. When I created a basic mashup, there were no .wbl file, but in some videos I heard about it. I was able to see only .qext, .html, .css and .js files along with a .jpg file. Is it version specific? .wbl is not needed anymore?

And once I have these 4 or 5 files ready, how can I integrate it to an actual website. Say for test purpose? For testing and demo of single configurator,  I wrote a simple html code in notepad and saved it as a .htm file. I used single configurator to generate iframe and url and pasted them in my small html code and I was able to see it in my browser. Can I achieve something like this for testing mashup editor? As you can see, I am just a beginner in web technologies. Please help me. How can I integrate the mashup editor files so that I can give a live demo?

Thanks for your suggestions.

I have some more doubts. If I am not working with mashup editor, how can I integrate the mashup files like the css, html and js? Should I use visual studio at any point? I read something like that some where.

They are just text files so it really does not what you use to edit them, I like Notepad++,  others prefer Atom‌, others prefer other things.

I have never used Visual Studio so cannot make any comment regarding it.

This is a tutorial I worked though early on, Qlik Sense Extension Tutorial | qliksite.io and I past below from it

Code Editor

     In addition to Qlik Sense you'll need a code editor, basically every basic editor is sufficient, so something like

I just tried out the first suggestion, felt comfortable with it and have stuck with it.  Beware:  It is a viz extension tutorial and not a mashup extension tutorial.

I think the tutorial above is now formalised in the Qlik on line manual here https://help.qlik.com/en-US/sense-developer/February2018/Subsystems/Extensions/Content/extensions-ge...

Notwithstanding the above if you are currently comfortable using the Qlik Mashup Editor then maybe stick with it until you have a reason to think about changing.

Ok. So once your text file is ready after editing (in any text editor), what do you do to use the mashup or use the file in mashup? Do you import it to the dev hub and use?
