Initial Settings & Connecting to your Qlik Site
Initial configuration of your exported code
All Motor Mashups include a
settings/index.js file in the src folder. Here, you can edit some initial settings of your mashup, including connection to your Qlik app and some theming. You can find an example of this below.// Settings/index.js
export const footer = {
footerText: "Copyright Motor © 2021",
};
export const qlikConfig = {
//Enter your Qlik config here..
host: "juno-ui.eu.qlikcloud.com", // Qlik Sense Host
secure: true, // Whether your host is secure of not (HTTPS / HTTP)
port: null, // Qlik Sense site port
prefix: "", // Prefix
appId: "0294cf88-eb02-484a-b315-cf06b45ac347", // Application Id
webIntId: "4Tx-ydWxSQEM_q1ajlYBVzGgVUVJUo-i", // Web Integration Id, for connection to Qlik cloud
qcs: true, // whether you are connecting to a Qlik Cloud site or not
};
export const appSettings = {
theme: "light", // light or dark
showThemeSwitch: true, // Show the toggle to change theme
/* Note that the login component is only available when connecting to Qlik cloud */
logo: "/static/media/motor-red.99524ab9.png", // Path to logo used for the Login box
logoHeight: "40px", // Login logo height
logoWidth: "120px", // Login logo width
buttonColor: '#FF7171', // Button color
buttonFontColor: 'white', // Button font color
body: "Please login to get started 🎉'", // Login text
loginfontFamily: '"NoirPro", sans-serif', //Login & Not Connected modal font
NotConnectedheader: "Connection lost", // Not Connected header text
NotConnectedBody: "Please refresh to continue", // Not Connected body text
};
In this example, we have 3 objects that we are using in our application:
- footer: To edit the footer text
- qlikConfig: Used in the Motor component to connect to your Qlik Sense site
- appSettings: Settings used both in the Motor component (to theme the Login & Not Connected components) and to change some theme settings of our mashup
You can connect to your Qlik site by updating the
qlikConfig object with the details of your Qlik Sense instance.The Motor component will use the
qlikConfig and appSettings objects to connect to your Qlik Sense site and apply some customisations.This is imported into the root of your React project, so you can find it in
src/index.js. This will be looking something like the below. Note we are passing the config into our Motor component along with specific customisations to theme the Login & Not Connected components.The Motor component will pass the connection to your Qlik app as context to all of the hooks in the
@motor-js/engine package.import React from "react";
import ReactDOM from "react-dom";
import { Motor } from "@motor-js/engine";
import reportWebVitals from "./reportWebVitals";
import App from "./containers/App";
import { qlikConfig, appSettings } from "settings";
import Store from "store";
ReactDOM.render(
<Motor
config={qlikConfig}
logo={appSettings.logo}
logoHeight={appSettings.logoHeight}
logoWidth={appSettings.logoWidth}
buttonColor={appSettings.buttonColor}
buttonFontColor={appSettings.buttonFontColor}
body={appSettings.body}
loginfontFamily={appSettings.loginfontFamily}
NotConnectedheader={appSettings.NotConnectedheader}
NotConnectedBody={appSettings.NotConnectedBody}
>
<Store>
<App />
</Store>
</Motor>,
document.getElementById("root")
);
// If you want to start measuring performance in your app, pass a function
// to log results (for example: reportWebVitals(console.log))
// or send to an analytics endpoint. Learn more: https://bit.ly/CRA-vitals
reportWebVitals();
Please find an example below connecting to a Qlik Sense Cloud instance. You need to set the
qcs property to true and add a webIntId generated from you QSC server.
import { Motor } from '@motor-js/core'
<Motor
config={{
host: 'qlikhost.eu.qlikcloud.com',
secure: true,
port: null,
prefix: '',
appId: '39e218c1-42ee-4f38-9451-1b8f850505d5',
webIntId: '...',
qcs: true,
}}>
>
// ...
</Motor>
Motor currently doesn't handle authentication to Qlik Sense Enterprise. You will need to configure this yourself depending on your choice of authentication method. You can see an example of this below:
