Description

Azure API Management support for custom widgets in the developer portal is now generally available. Custom widgets make it easier to integrate with external systems and they provide a different way to represent data (e.g., a modified API reference or user profile pages) in the developer portal.  

This release also enhances custom widget development by providing “scaffolding code" in Vue, React, and native TypeScript as well as an open source npm package - removing the need to write code from scratch.

Supporting these capabilities in the managed developer portal provides you with an alternative to maintaining self-hosted portals, while offering more advanced extensibility options and better manageability and source control than available previously through the “Custom HTML” widget.
