Hi @jetisco4u. Definitely try out what you think will work for you. You might run into a couple of challenges if using the app platform to build a dashboard widget, for example:
- the manifest that you use to upload your app needs to have
"appType": "DASHBOARD_WIDGET"which won’t be the case when you build via the app platform - the app platform will inject your app into a shell which wraps the app with the headerbar (also various providers, error boundary, etc.,) (I assume you will not want the header bar to appear within your widget)
But it could still be a good starting point for figuring out what you need/want to include when building your widget.
Sorry that we don’t have a more ready-to-go solution at the moment, but we hope to make building these easier in the future.
Let us know how it goes.
