Deploying custom widget to Portal

MichaelWen — Thu, 30 Apr 2020 14:00:23 GMT

I apologize for creating the same thread under Discussions but I'm unable to delete it.
I attempted to use this workflow to add a custom ArcGIS Experience Builder widget to our ArcGIS Enterprise Portal
Add custom widgets—Portal for ArcGIS | Documentation for ArcGIS Enterprise

I got an error saying 'Invalid AppBuilder Extension. Verify that "Platform" is correctly defined'
Can custom widgets developed with ArcGIS Experience Builder Developer Edition be added to the Enterprise Portal using the same workflow as WAB widgets?

Hi Michael,

Currently, this is not supported yet. We are working on a plan to support this in a future release.

Any updates on when this will be available? The Esri product lifecycle page shows the JavaScript 3.x API retiring in Aug 2022. WAB's product lifecycle seems to be synced JSAPI 3.x, so will this feature be in place for EB in Portal before then?

Hi Bryan,

We are working on this and it will be available in the next couple of releases.

Hi David,

Right now, it feels like Esri have dropt a half-finished product on to the market. In relation to webapp builder, it also seems to be missing lots of widget functions. Can just be that I am understanding configuration of webapps in this tool wrong.

Next couple of releases you say, can you be somewhat more precise. As we primarily work with the Portal for ArcGIS we like to know in what version of Portal we can expect to have the ability to create custom widgets? 10.9.1? 2022? Will there be some way to update only the Experiense builder to get the latest abilities?

Same question here: will this be possible in version 10.9?

Hi guys, I just proposed a step-by-step solution last week to deploy the whole customised widgets App of ArcGIS Experience Builder on ArcGIS Portal directly (not just "add an item", but put and use the customised widgets on Portal Directly). Before ArcGIS proposes the ultimate solution you could use this to deploy your whole ArcGIS Experience Builder with customised widgets on ArcGIS Portal Enterprise.

So far no other internet resources talking about this small trick (100% innovative and it works), really want to share this with every Experience Builder Customised Widgets Developer, please take a look on my video, if not working, just come back and blame me. Please share this to your Esri community, and don't forget click like and subscribe if you think it's useful thanks.

Thanks

Is there an update on this? Can custom EB widgets be deployed now?

Thanks @milesleeaus - I watched the video and took notes. At the end I don't quite understand how this is different from registering a developed app and simply referring to it in the redirect url. What I'd want is to deploy the widget of the Layers list into a web experience, without the rest of the app wrapping it.

Its on the road map, but is not available to my knowledge at 10.9.1, refer to this link to see the 2022 roadmap. https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-experience-builder-blog/experience-builder-2022-roadmap-and-beyond/bc-p/1144706#M223

Hi, this is the temporary solution, the difference is that when you turn on the experience builder app, it just shows the real app outside directly, you don't need to click on the url link to the foreign application. But there is still no solution lie webappbuilder, to hang the widget and let all applications on line use it freely. Esri said the solution will come late this year or early next year.

We just wanted to update you the status on this feature. Starting with ArcGIS Enterprise 11, you will be able to add Experience Builder custom widgets in ArcGIS Enterprise to extend the builder similar to what you do with Web AppBuilder custom widgets. ArcGIS Enterprise 11 is planned to be available in July. Thank you all for your input!

That's a really good news, we could say good bye to WAB after so many years ~~ (but we still thanks WAB for the previous sucessful projects)

Re: Deploying custom widget to Portal

SimonSchütte_ct — Mon, 08 Aug 2022 11:08:08 GMT

This is now possible with ArcGIS Enterprise 11: https://doc.arcgis.com/en/experience-builder/11.0/configure-widgets/add-custom-widgets.htm

I have created a blog post which describes a workflow using Azure DevOps to publish to ArcGIS Enterprise and keep the widgets updated for anyone that may be interested.
