Possibility to extend Sparklis

[Maheen-Bakhtyar]

Bonjour Sébastien Ferré,

First of all, thanks for this amazing tool!

I am interested to in using Sparklis for my research work and I am curious if there is a possibility to extend and modify the interface of Sparklis?
Is there anything in the pipeline to make it more user-friendly? Or if you could share how this can be done.
Can you please share how to implement templates? and what are the possibilities to do that?

Thank you very much

Regards
Maheen

Bonjour Maheen-Bakhtyar,
there is a JS API for extending and customizing Sparklis.
Have a look at https://github.com/sebferre/sparklis/blob/master/doc/main.md .
Keep in mind that this JS API is under progress, feedback welcome.

Bonjour Sébastien Ferré,
I looked at the documentation https://github.com/sebferre/sparklis/blob/master/doc/main.md that you provided.
It gives a detail of all the functions that we can use.
It would be really helpful if you could also provide one basic example of how we can use it.
I searched on the Internet but was unable to find an example as a starting point.
It will be really helpful to go further if there is one example, please.
Can you please help me and provide a simple example of how I can use a JS API in my code?
Merci Beaucoup

Sorry, I don't yet have proper examples of use of the API.

No problem.
Let me share one soon :-)

Merci

@sebferre : Does Sparklis JS API (mentioned above) allow us to add a new menu item to the horizontal menu that is used for switching between Sparklis, YASGUI and History views?

This ability would be useful, for example, for showing a visualization of the generated SPARQL query.

P.S. Thank you for this great application!

@CaptSolo : yes, this is possible.

1. Duplicate and adapt the HTML code in osparklis.html for e.g. the YASGUI view (look for yasgui-view). There are two components: the button and the div containing the view.
2. Use the function sparklis_extension.hookSparql from the JS API to define some behavior when a new SPARQL query is defined, e.g. filling the new view with a graphical representation of the query.

Hope this helps.
