React in Foundry

Ask the Community

Hello!

Is it possible to write my whole frontend in React within the Palantir Foundry platform? Or can you only create React widgets which you have to embed into a Workshop module?

Thanks,
Jenny

Hey @jenny, there are a few ways to build react frontends within the context of Foundry. Depending on your needs you could:

  • host a react app in Foundry that uses the OSDK to interact with the ontology (see docs here)
  • create react widgets that can be embedded in workshop as you mentioned (docs here)
  • create react apps hosted outside of Foundry (on separate infrastructure) that uses the OSDK to interact with Foundry) (see docs here)

Hope that helps!
