Dev Hub requirements and assumptions
The following requirements and assumptions apply to Dev Hub.
Dev Hub assumptions
This help covers the functions necessary to get a basic extension up and running. It does not cover the rudimentary concepts of JavaScript.
Before you start building visualization extensions, it is assumed that you have:
-
Some experience in Qlik Sense app development.
-
Good knowledge of the JavaScript programming language.
-
Some knowledge of Cascading Style Sheets (CSS).
Before you start building mashups, it is assumed that you have:
-
Some experience in Qlik Sense app development, along with wider experience in web development.
-
Good knowledge of the JavaScript programming language.
-
Good knowledge of the Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML).
-
Good knowledge of Cascading Style Sheets (CSS).
-
Although not a necessity, some knowledge of RequireJS.
Information noteQlik Sense uses RequireJS for loading JavaScript modules, so the JavaScript needs to be created as a module and then included into your HTML file. For more information about RequireJS, refer to RequireJS.
Before you start converting QlikView documents using the QlikView converter, it is assumed that:
-
You are familiar with the structure and content of the source QlikView application.

You understand the key Qlik logic in the form of expression syntax.
-
You understand that the QlikView converter tool aims to transfer as much of the QlikView content into QlikView content as is possible.
