Introduction to components, libraries and Git

This shows how components are represented in the flow chart of the dashboard:

You can see these components in the list view on the side of the dashboard also:

The card view shows the use of Custom Fields which can be used to change the configuration of the component. You can stop and start the component with the switch in the top left.

By expanding the template section we can get access to it:

Now we see this:

HL7 Server is written in Lua and the source code of the component is stored in Lua . There are no built in components in IguanaX. All the components are written in Lua which means you can look at how they are implemented and alter them to meet your specific requirements.

IguanaX makes it possible use common libraries across many different components.

These libraries are contained in their own git “sub” repositories. They make use of the help system in IguanaX. We provide a number of libraries but you can also write and distribute your own libraries.
