Extensions

Manage custom extensions to the Management Dashboard.

Use the Extensions section to manage your custom extensions to Emporix system. For example, if you have your custom module for the Emporix Management Dashboard, you can manage the connection here.

Adding an extension

You can add your extension in two ways:

• By providing the extension URL, the extension is displayed in an iFrame.

• By providing a URL to a remote JS file, the extension is built from the components.

Adding an extension with a URL

As a prerequisite, you have to configure your extension to be able to display it in the Emporix Management Dashboard. To learn how to do it, see Enabling Custom Extensions.

• Sample extensions are available in the MD Extensions repository.

1. Go to Administration -> Extensions and choose Add extension.

2. Provide your extension's name and URL

3. Save your extension.

   

The added extension is connected and you can also see it embedded in the Extensions module.

Adding an extension with the JS file

As a prerequisite, you have to configure your extension to be able to display it in the Emporix Management Dashboard. You can use the MD Module Template repository to build the extension:

• Fork the repository and follow the installation steps in the read.me file.

When your extension is ready to use, add it to the Management Dashboard:

1. Go to Administration -> Extensions and choose Add extension.

2. Provide your extension's name.

3. Turn the Module toggle ON.

4. Add your js module file URL. In the example below the file name is remoteEntry.js. Make sure the name of your file is always reflected in the vite.config.ts file of the module template.
5. Save your extension.

   

The added extension is connected and you can also see it embedded in the Extensions module.

Removing an extension

1. In Administration -> Extensions, find the extension to be deleted on the list.

2. Choose the Delete icon.

The connection gets removed and the extension is no longer available under the Extensions module.
