How to open Custom designed HTML page with Javascript from Webix Jet application.
Is it possible to use third party libraries for PDF export from Webix Jet ?
Hi @Mani
Webix Jet is a framework designed to manage and represent only the UI made with Webix - unfortunately, the plain usage of other UI libraries is not supported.
If you need to add a custom element to Webix layout, depending on the use-case you can use
- an integration of a third-party widget to a Webix view (check the ready-to-use components and a guide),
- a template with custom HTML (suits for quite simple content) content,
- or an iframe.
But if you need to render a fully custom page, the only solution is to make it fully standalone and connect to a Jet App with some overall logic (or provide some external API for the Jet App and address it when needed).
The Jet App may also be composed as a widget (docs). For example, our recently released components (File-, Document-, and User Manager) were created with Jet and support both ways of init - as a result, these tools may be simply used in bigger apps as their units.

In theory, it is possible, although there are no known use-cases (as it is a quite complex feature).
We use a customized version of PDF.js in our export method, but regarding alternative libraries, I can’t predict any specific limitations, unfortunately.
