In this post, I am going to explain in more detail the examples that I am presenting at the Tableau Conference 2024 about how to create a step-by-step guide.

All Code is available on the GitHub repository: https://github.com/cristiansaavedra/tc24_1418_hello-viz-extensions

You will find the examples:

01 -> Worksheet Name

02 -> Parameters

03 -> Encodings

04 -> Data

05 -> Settings & Format Extension

06 -> Integrated with Simple-datatables

Example 01 shows how to initialize the Tableau Extension API and use it in a Worksheet as Viz Extension to get the Worksheet’s name.

Example 02 shows how to initialize the Tableau Extension API and get all parameters available.

Example 03 shows how to get the Encodings and refresh the data when changed.

Example 04 shows how to get and render the data in an HTML Table.

Example 05 shows how to use Settings to save a configuration and call a Format Extension to change the background color of the table.

Example 06 integrates with an existing JavaScript Library to enhance the Table adding a filter and export button.
