Canvas components get support for connectors
Connectors can now be used in canvas components! I am excited to announce availability of one of the most requested features for canvas components, with supporting API data sources as a first step. Check out how it makes components more powerful and interesting.
Components now get access to all API data sources included the app containing the component definitions.
Sharing components with data sources is simple. A connection consent dialog prompts confirming adding the connections when importing a component with data sources.
Check out sample components made with data sources.
