UX: ArcGIS and ESRI Rest file previews not available in DKAN 2.

[DaniyalRaza786]

Hi,
I am using DKAN 2. I want to display previews for resource files within datasets on the dataset detail page. Currently, previews are only available for CSV files. How can I enable previews for other file formats?

Hi @DaniyalRaza786 that's not currently a feature of DKAN 2. If you're using a decoupled react frontend, I think it would be a question of finding an existing react component and using that in the app in place of the grid preview when the resource is an ESRI endpoint. It looks like this repo may have a place to start.

This is obviously a fairly large level of effort to accomplish, but we will be very happy to share your efforts if you do find a solution, or consider merging it into one of our repos if appropriate. I think we are looking at some day having out of the box options for this but I can't speak to the timeline for that at the moment.
