Widget development
In this workshop you will learn how to create your own Mendix Widget from start to finish.
Together, we will explore the world of npm, React and the Mendix API in order to make sense of the technologies involved in the process of creating a widget. We are going to setup an environment for development and then gradually dive into the actual process of creating a widget. Along the way we'll overcome many of the pitfalls that you will encounter in a typical project.
