Tools

Tools are external . They are shown from the simulation/view page with this line:

const ChildComponent = tools[viewName] ? tools[viewName].view : wfModule.components.ViewSimulation;

Tools are bundled in src/tools/index.js each tool has a view which is the primary view container for the tool and providesToolbar a boolean which prevents displaying a double toolbar. Feel free to add other properties to make your tool more accessible, such properties could include requiresFullscreen or openInNewWindow

View container

While the tool itself does not need to be integrated with the Redux store, the container does. To pass the necessary information to your tool you’ll want to include the important information in the step metadata. We do this with the sessionId for steps that use the Paraview Web Visualizer.

Redux

It is not necessary for your tool to use Redux. However if it does you’ll need to provide accessor methods to override which state it operates on, see the Paraview Web Visualizer repository for an example how to do this. You’ll also need to combine the reducers with HPCCloud’s reducers.
