Customizing Webapps and Plugins

Customizing Webapps and Plugins

I gained basic information on building a custom plugin from this project https://github.com/camunda-consulting/code/tree/master/snippets/springboot-customized-webapps
but I might need additional help.

I want to develope a Cockpit plugin that opens a drop down menu.

To do that, I guess I need to have access to the HTML file, and also write my own JavaScript file.
Am I guessing right?

If so, where can I find the HTML and CSS files when running Camunda as a spring boot application?

Appreciate any help, Frank

Hi @FrankCastle ,

of course you can build your own custom plugins for webapps. As it is almost impossible to satisfy all needs of Camunda users there are extension mechanisms that empoweres users to adjust the tool to their very own needs.

There is actually a several ways to achieve this goal, one of which would be to introduce React component to the frontend layer. You can briefly see how it is done following Developing a Plugin section of this tutorial.

There is also another approach which might occur to be helpful for you. Please have a look at this tutorial. An example plugin, developed following this path is stored here.

The full Camunda doc can be found here :slight_smile:
