Alternate state support in your extension II

A while ago I wrote a small post on how to add alternate state support to your extension: https://extendingqlik.upper88.com/adding-alternate-state-support-to-your-qlik-sense-extension/

I am happy to tell you that with Qlik Sense november 2018 this is now obsolete. In most cases you don’t need to do anything to have alternate state support in november 2018, it will work out of the box. For example the wordcloud extension:

You will get a new section in the property panel where you can set the state to use. The default setting, ‘inherited’ will mean that the chart will inherit its state from it’s parent (currently the sheet), but you can also specify what state you want.

November 2018 also includes support for managing alternate states and the selection toolbar shows selections for all

 

Qlik Sense november 2018 – with qsVariable

One of the new features of Qlik Sense november 2018 is the bundled extensions. If you install the bundle that’s included with the release (and I think you should) you will get a couple of extensions, one of them based on my qsVariable:

Based on, because Qlik has renamed it and made some modifications. Since it has a new name your existing apps that uses qsVariable will continue to do so, you will need to convert them to use the bundled version: You should probably do so, since Qlik will maintain the new version, and test and possibly fix it for new Qlik Sense versions.
