Qlik Sense: Advanced Data Visualization for Your Organization

Creating an HTML visualization extension for Qlik Sense^®

To begin with, let us discuss a recipe to create a simple HTML extension in Qlik Sense. The two files that are mandatory to create any Qlik Sense extension are:

• .JS file: This file contains the JavaScript required to implement the extension and is built around the RequireJS framework
• .QEXT file: This is an extension metadata file, which contains the JSON description to be used within the desktop client

• Script files from external libraries such as D3 or Raphael
• CSS files: To add styles to the extensions
• Images, Fonts, Icons, and so on

The default directory for Qlik Sense Desktop extensions is C:\Users\[UserName]\Documents\Qlik\Sense\Extensions\ ...
