Build a nebula visualization as a Qlik Sense extension

Options:
--version Show version number [boolean]

Example

$3

You can set property panel definition and feature supprts by creating a separate file for the extension info and providing it as argument to --ext:

Create a file called def.js and add the following:

`js
// def.js
export default {
definition: {
// Property panel definition
},
support: {
export: true,
exportData: true,
snapshot: true,
viewData: true,
},
importProperties: null,
exportProperties: null,
};
`

Run the command:

`bash
nebula sense --ext def.js
`

Note:
Using the --ext option will overwrite any ext definition already presented on the chart, its main purpose is to support legacy option below.

$3

You can improve meta info about the extension, such as extension name, extension
icon, and description by providing a .json formatted file and supply that filename
as an argument to the nebula sense command with --meta option.

Create a file called meta.json and add the following code demonstrating an example
to set the extension meta information:

`json
{
"name": "My tasty banana extension",
"icon": "barchart",
"description": "Nebula test table wrapped in a Qlik Sense extension"
}
`

Run the command:

`bash
nebula sense --meta meta.json
`

The meta data will be ended up in the .qext file used by the Qlik Sense.

Copy the updated your-chart-ext directory to your Extension directory,
overwriting the old version. Then the meta data of the extension has been changed.

The rest of the required information is populated automatically based on the content in package.json.

$3

Generate all required files into the specified --output folder called sn-table-ext:

`bash
nebula sense --output sn-table-ext
`

You can upload that folder as an extension on Qlik Sense Enterprise for Windows or SaaS editions of Qlik Sense

$3

Running nebula sense generates a QEXT file for you, which is
required for loading the visualization into sense.

The QEXT file can also be manually created by yourself.
Create a file called your-extension-name.qext and add the following code as an
example:

`json
{
"name": "your-extension-name",
"version": "0.1.0",
"description": "",
"author": {
"name": "",
"email": ""
},
"icon": "extension",
"type": "visualization",
"supernova": true
}
