I see this question has been asked, but not fully answered, but that was in 2017....
Is there a way to build CSH HTML5 or any Flare output into a React application? The developers at my company are highly skeptical. Thank you!
Flare Help with React App?
Re: Flare Help with React App?
I don't work with React apps, but generally this depends on exactly how you want to integrate the help with your app.
HTML5 output is like producing a standalone website, but you can simply display the HTML5 help inside an <iframe> tag in your app, and CSH will work fine.
But it's more complicated if you're not using the standalone output from Flare as-is, and you want to mix bits of your app and bits of your help content on the same page. Your developers would need to work out how to do the post-processing to 'consume' the Flare output and integrate it in your app - which might be HTML5 with no skin, or the Clean XHTML output. Flare's CSH is not available in either case, as you're not using the standalone HTML5 output (although your devs can probably utilise the alias.xml file in the output).
But you can only figure this out by sitting down with your developers and showing them the types of output that Flare can produce.
