JavaScript with Workday Extend Example

An example that demonstrates building a custom JavaScript UI with the React framework that brings Workday Extend capabilities to non-Workday systems and applications.

Multiple App Examples are contained in this project to demonstrate the art of the possible, built on top of a lightly opinionated scaffolding which you could use as a starter template for a project of your own.

Please note this project is for demonstration and educational purposes, and is not officially supported by Workday as a production-ready application.

Workday Canvas Kit UI components are used to provide Workday look & feel. Create React App is used for managing the project.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

  • Node.js
  • Workday Cloud Platform Developer Account & Developer Tenant (Workday Extend subscription required)

Setup

  1. Clone or fork this repository.
  2. Run npm install in the project root directory to install dependencies.
  3. Create a Workday Cloud Platform API Client with the following values:
    • Name: JavaScript App Example
    • Redirect URI: http://localhost:3000/authorize
    • Authorized CORS Domains: http://localhost:3000
    • Note: You will need to add Scopes to this API Client later, depending on which App Examples you wish to configure or what Workday API's you will be connecting to for your own project.
  4. Modify the .env file in project root to set the REACT_APP_WCP_API_CLIENT_ID value to the API Client ID created in the previous step (ex. REACT_APP_WCP_API_CLIENT_ID=ZDMzN...)
    • Note: You can optionally set the REACT_APP_WCP_DEFAULT_TENANT_ALIAS value to the WCP tenant alias for the tenant you want to use, enabling users to bypass providing a tenant alias when authenticating.
  5. Run npm start to launch the app. Your app should become available at http://localhost:3000.
  6. Authorize the app against your Developer Tenant by clicking Login in the app.
  7. Optionally, proceed with the instructions for each provided App Example to wish to explore.
