Quickstart

In this guide, we’ll utilize a straightforward CDN setup, eliminating the need for importing packages or operating a local server. This approach allows you to implement features using the most basic and user-friendly options available.

Choose your path

First, decide if you want to start from scratch or make changes to an existing project. Most developers find it easier to clone and start from a working example.

Start from a working example

Download a working example after installing the Portal App.

Start from scratch

Set up an embedded Flatfile Workbook from beginning to end.

Advanced mode

Create a new Space

In this Guide, we’ll create a new Space each time Flatfile is opened. This suits situations where a clean slate for every interaction is preferred and is the easiest way to get started with Flatfile. Using Node and package.json, you’ll setup a full localhost project end to end and implement a listener for maximum control.

Reuse an existing Space

Choose this option when users might need to wait or can’t finish in one go. This is great for keeping work context and letting users continue where they left off until the task is done.
