Setting and using Custom JS Visualizations

[abarbosa]

Hi there;

My web container was started with the env variable set to
REDASH_FEATURE_ALLOW_CUSTOM_JS_VISUALIZATIONS=true

But I AM not getting the ability to chose custom visualization on the drop down menu.
Is there any pointer to this ?
I could not find much documentation on this feature other then this github issue: https://github.com/getredash/redash/issues/1628

Ok, found that the Custom Visualization is under Chart type.

Would you care to share an example on how it is used?

@abarbosa

REDASH_FEATURE_ALLOW_CUSTOM_JS_VISUALIZATIONS=true

In order to create a new visualization the env variable REDASH_FEATURE_ALLOW_CUSTOM_JS_VISUALIZATIONS has been set to true in redash/redash/settings/init.py.
What is the next step to be done to show a custom visualization? can someone help?

Hi, community,

We also set the environment variable REDASH_FEATURE_ALLOW_CUSTOM_JS_VISUALIZATIONS to true but still not able to see the custom option in chart type

• We running self hosted redash in AWS ECS
• redash version: Version: 10.1.0 (2589bef1)

I looked at the code base and the only thing I am wondering about it

export default function Renderer({ options, ...props }: any) {
  if (options.globalSeriesType === "custom" && visualizationsSettings.allowCustomJSVisualizations) {
    return <CustomPlotlyChart options={options} {...props} />;
  }
  return <PlotlyChart options={options} {...props} />;
}

Any help is appreciated,

Thank you
Ramzi

Hey @ramziyassine the custom chart is a sub-type of Chart option.
