Introduction

Most RFID applications will require some user interaction. A user needs to take action if a box is not according to the shipment manifest, a user would like to understand his or her service actions, etc. etc.

Nedap Harmony provides functionality to develop those kind of apps inside the platform. Those applications have User Interfaces, and can be used by end users in a production environment.

React & Ant.Design

Applications are developed in JavaScript using React. React is an often used, simple to learn JavaScript library for building user interfaces. More information and tutorials on React can be found here: https://reactjs.org. In Harmony, you can choose to use either a React Component or a React Hook. We would recommend to build a React Hook, as that is the most future proof approach.

Nedap Harmony also provides a UI component library to use: Ant.Design. This is the same component library that is used for the main Nedap Harmony app, and can also be used in your custom applications. More information here: https://ant.design

Available libraries

Other than the UI design library, the following libraries can be used:

• lodash - Helper functions
