In this riveting episode by Google Cloud Tech, we delve into the world of Looker Extensions with the enthusiasm of a kid in a candy store. Looker extensions are like custom-built gems that seamlessly integrate with Looker, offering a plethora of possibilities for developers. These extensions act as a bridge to the Looker API, allowing for easy access to data and authentication options, making development a breeze. From internal data platforms to external applications, the sky's the limit with what you can achieve using Looker extensions.
To embark on your Looker extension journey, you first need to set up a LookML project connected to a Git repository, ensuring all necessary parameters are in place. Once the groundwork is laid, developers can test their extensions within the Looker instance using the powerful Looker Extension SDK. This SDK opens doors to a world of functionality, from accessing local storage to customizing user experiences and calling Looker API methods with ease.
The video showcases two marketplace extensions - the Looker Data Dictionary and the Looker ER Diagram - as shining examples of the capabilities of Looker extensions. The Data Dictionary acts as a centralized hub for metric exploration and governance, while the ER Diagram visually represents LookML object relationships, aiding in model understanding and query performance optimization. These extensions exemplify how Looker extensions can cater to specific needs and enhance the overall data stakeholder experience.
Viewers are encouraged to take the plunge into the world of Looker extensions by installing marketplace extensions, experimenting with the Kitchen Sink extension, and exploring the extension developer documentation for creating their own custom extensions. The video leaves us on the edge of our seats, eagerly anticipating future content on developing with Looker and Looker Studio.
