Hello,
I would like to create a custom slicer for a project. I'm a beginner in developping custom visuals and I can't find a basic example of a custom slicer that works. I've looked at the Microsoft Github but they seems outdated as I can't package them without error. The command pbiviz new -t slicer doesn't produce a slicer but the default visual without specifying a template.
I didn't find any tutorials or minimal working example, can somebody indicate any useful ressource to get started ?
Thanks in advance.
Hi @EMtx,
I've built slicers previously, but only from the existing documentation as a reference. Unfortunately, I can't share these as they were developed privately for clients. ultimately, you need to think about:
If you want some recent examples to refer to and possibly clone and build, you can look at the Text Search Slicer by databrothers (who open-source their code) or MS's Text Filter (which has received some recent-ish updates). These will hopefully give you an idea of how to start working with the filter APIs and how you might think about designing your visual.
Good luck!
