Hi,

i am exploring building the component plug-in for the below activities:

1. i will pass the parameter to the plug-in and based on that parameter the plug-in should get the data from the database and show it on the plug-in itself

2. if i modify the data on the plug-in it should update the same data on the database.

Please suggest the approach for the above requirement. please let me know if any sample plug-ins

plugins

thank you stefan for you quick response. To pull/push the data from/to the database, which approach i have to follow. Jquery or ? because we are using the appian data.

one more query can we use goJs libraries to render the UI page.?

The documentation clears says that you need to create web APIs in Appian and call these from the component. There is no direct database connection from the plugin.

I'm mostly curious as to why you would want to do this? This is the sort of basic functionality that Appian gives you, in an easy-to-build and easy-to-maintain fashion - i.e. low-code (plug-ins are high-code by definition). What will what you are proposing give you that Appian doesn't?

i want to display the organization chart which allow me to do the modification and reflect the same in the database.

You can use this OOTB component to browse your hierarchical data:

What sort of updates do you need to conduct?
