Reusable Components

1 post · Jan 2023

What this trail covers

Hex has evolved its collaborative analysis platform by introducing Components, a feature that allows teams to write groups of cells once and re-use them across projects. This promotes consistency, efficiency, and reduces errors by enabling the creation of a centralized repository of reusable logic. Changes to a component propagate to all projects that use it, with options to update or detach imported components. This feature extends the DRY principle to analytics workflows.

  1. Introducing: ComponentsThis post introduces 'Components' as a new feature in Hex. Components are reusable groups of cells that can be written once and used across multiple projects. The feature allows users to select a group of cells, create a component, and publish it. These components can then be imported into other projects. Hex provides mechanisms to update components when changes are made to the source, and allows users to detach or eject components into regular cells if needed. This aims to improve consistency and reduce rework in data analytics workflows.
