Using React.js to create pages and views

I’ve heard that perspective using React behind the scenes to create and render different views and pages. I was wondering if its possible to build/develop entire pages in React to use with Ignition Perspective. If so, how?

Not without 3rd party modules, or crazy hacks with the markdown component. The whole point of Perspective is to make an Industrial Web UI customizable without making controls engineers into web designers. :man_shrugging:

You can make custom components for Perspective with the module SDK.

I understand that. I myself am a Software Dev working alongside engineers to build the HMI. Do you know what 3rd party modules I could use or how exactly the module SDK would work with react? I’ve seen some IU courses on the module SDK but I didn’t find it to be useful in terms of building something with React

Ignition is far more than a web UI. You must conquer a fair amount of non-web infrastructure to be very productive with the Ignition SDK. Sorry.

Note that knowledge of Web Technology does make better Perspective developers. But best to not try to break out (much).
