Custom Widgets

Squirro offers you the ability to create unique visual experiences and extend Squirro dashboards using custom widgets. This feature requires server-level administrator privileges.

You can build your own custom widget by using an existing Squirro widget as a base template and then modifying it, or you can build your own custom widget from scratch using React.

To build your own custom widgets, you will need a basic understanding of JavaScript and the React framework.

How to Create a Custom Widget

For a how-to guide for creating custom widgets, refer to the How to Create a Squirro Custom Widget page.

React Custom Widgets

React is the only supported framework for custom widgets. Backbone custom widgets are no longer supported.

See React Custom Widgets for details on React libraries, hooks, how-to guides, and an introduction to Squirro Storybook.
