Hi All,
Is there a practical way to make two Viktor apps talk to each other, e.g. one app’s output becomes another’s input?
Thanks
Hi @Fadi_S ,
Great to have you participate in the discussions on our community!
The current practical way of connecting two apps with one another is through VIKTOR’s API. Any VIKTOR application has an API behind it for free (no extra work required). You could therefore interact with the app through its API by sending input parameters through the API to the app, let it calculate something, and return the result. Every view and button is an endpoint that you could use to retrieve results. To connect apps require a Personal Access Token. We want to address this frictive step by allowing apps within the same project to freely share information between one another. We also have a beta program where other exciting developments are happening that touch on what you are asking.
But to get back to what is currently possible: Here is a concept app built by WSP demonstrating how this looks like (in their case they built an app that connects other apps with one another):
