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 widgets are the preferred method for creating custom widgets. React widgets are built using the JavaScript React framework.
See React Custom Widgets for details on React libraries, hooks, how-to guides, and an introduction to Squirro Storybook.
Backbone Custom Widgets#
Backbone widgets are deprecated and have been superseded by React widgets.
See Backbone Custom Widgets for Backbone widget documentation.
