Install

Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.

npx skills add https://github.com/cognitedata/dune-skills --skill integrate-file-viewer
  1. 01

    Install

    Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.

  2. 02

    Describe the task

    Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads integrate-file-viewer automatically when relevant.

  3. 03

    Review the result

    The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.

SKILL.md

The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.

Integrate CogniteFileViewer

Add CogniteFileViewer to this Dune app to preview CDF files (PDF, image, text).

Your job

Complete these steps in order. Read each file before modifying it.


Step 1 — Understand the app

Read these files before touching anything:

  • package.json — detect package manager (packageManager field or lock file) and existing deps
  • vite.config.ts — understand current Vite setup
  • The component where the viewer should be added

Step 2 — Install dependencies

  • pnpm → pnpm add "github:cognitedata/dune-industrial-components#semver:*" react-pdf
  • npm → npm install "github:cognitedata/dune-industrial-components#semver:*" react-pdf
  • yarn → yarn add "github:cognitedata/dune-industrial-components#semver:*" react-pdf

pdfjs-dist ships as a dependency of react-pdf at the correct version — do not install it separately.


Step 3 — Configure the PDF.js worker

The consumer app must configure the PDF.js worker. This ensures the worker version matches the pdfjs-dist version shipped with your react-pdf install.

Add this setup in the same file where CogniteFileViewer is used (module execution order matters):

import { pdfjs } from 'react-pdf';

pdfjs.GlobalWorkerOptions.workerSrc = new URL(
  'pdfjs-dist/build/pdf.worker.min.mjs',
  import.meta.url,
).toString();

pnpm users: pnpm's strict linking may prevent the browser from resolving pdfjs-dist. Either add pdfjs-dist as a direct dependency (pnpm add pdfjs-dist), or add public-hoist-pattern[]=pdfjs-dist to .npmrc.


Step 4 — Configure Vite

Add optimizeDeps.exclude: ['pdfjs-dist'] to vite.config.ts to prevent Vite from pre-bundling pdfjs-dist (which breaks the worker):

export default defineConfig({
  // ... existing config ...
  optimizeDeps: {
    exclude: ['pdfjs-dist'],
  },
});

Step 5 — Use the component

Import and render CogniteFileViewer wherever a file preview is needed.

import { CogniteFileViewer } from '@cognite/dune-industrial-components/file-viewer';

Get the sdk from the useDune() hook (already available in every Dune app):

import { useDune } from '@cognite/dune';
const { sdk } = useDune();

Supported file types

TypeFormats
PDF.pdf — page navigation, zoom, pan, diagram annotation overlay
Office documentsWord, PowerPoint, Excel, ODS, ODP, ODT, RTF, TSV — converted to PDF via the CDF Document Preview API, then rendered identically to PDF
ImageJPEG, PNG, WebP, SVG, TIFF — zoom, pan, rotation
Text.txt, .csv, .json — rendered as preformatted text
OtherFalls back to renderUnsupported

Minimal usage

This is all you need — zoom, pan, and touch gestures are handled internally:

<CogniteFileViewer
  source={{ type: 'internalId', id: file.id }}
  client={sdk}
  style={{ width: '100%', height: '600px' }}
/>

The component needs a defined height. If the parent has no explicit height, the viewer will collapse to zero. Always set a height via style, className, or the parent container.

File source

Pass any of three source types:

// By instance ID (data-modelled file — enables annotations)
<CogniteFileViewer
  source={{ type: 'instanceId', space: 'my-space', externalId: 'my-file' }}
  client={sdk}
/>

// By CDF internal ID
<CogniteFileViewer
  source={{ type: 'internalId', id: 12345 }}
  client={sdk}
/>

// By direct URL
<CogniteFileViewer
  source={{ type: 'url', url: 'https://...', mimeType: 'application/pdf' }}
/>

Prefer instanceId when available — it's the only source type that enables the diagram annotation overlay. When listing files via sdk.files.list(), check file.instanceId first:

source={
  file.instanceId
    ? { type: 'instanceId', space: file.instanceId.space, externalId: file.instanceId.externalId }
    : { type: 'internalId', id: file.id }
}

      top: rect.y,
      zIndex: 11,
    }}>
      {annotation.text}
    </div>
  )}

  // Custom overlay (SVG paths, highlights, drawings — works on PDF and images)
  renderOverlay={({ width, height, originalWidth, originalHeight, pageNumber, rotation }) => (
    <svg
      width={width}
      height={height}
      viewBox={`0 0 ${originalWidth} ${originalHeight}`}
      preserveAspectRatio="none"
      style={{ position: 'absolute', top: 0, left: 0, pointerEvents: 'all' }}
    >
      <path d="..." stroke="cyan" fill="none" />
    </svg>
  )}

  // Custom renderers (all optional)
  renderLoading={() => <MySpinner />}
  renderError={(error) => <MyError message={error.message} />}
  renderUnsupported={(mimeType) => <div>Cannot preview {mimeType}</div>}

  // Layout
  className="..."
  style={{ width: '100%', height: '100%' }}
/>

Tips & tricks

Reset page, zoom and rotation when the source changes. The component does not reset these automatically when you switch files — do it yourself:

const navigateToFile = (file: FileInfo) => {
  setSelectedFile(file);
  setPage(1);
  setZoom(1);
  setRotation(0);
};

Gate pagination UI on numPages > 0. onDocumentLoad only fires for PDFs. Don't render pagination controls until you know there are pages to paginate:

{numPages > 0 && (
  <>
    <button disabled={page <= 1} onClick={() => setPage(p => p - 1)}>‹</button>
    <span>{page} / {numPages}</span>
    <button disabled={page >= numPages} onClick={() => setPage(p => p + 1)}>›</button>
  </>
)}

Annotation click → navigate to linked file. annotation.linkedResource contains the space and externalId of the linked CDF instance. Match it against file.instanceId to navigate:

onAnnotationClick={(annotation) => {
  if (!annotation.linkedResource) return;
  const { space, externalId } = annotation.linkedResource;
  const linked = files.find(
    f => f.instanceId?.space === space && f.instanceId?.externalId === externalId
  );
  if (linked) navigateToFile(linked);
}}

Touch support is built in. Two-finger pinch-to-zoom and two-finger drag-to-pan work on touch devices automatically. No configuration needed.

Pan is middle-click drag (when zoomed in) on desktop. Left-click remains free for annotation clicks and text selection.

Ctrl/Cmd + wheel zooms toward the cursor — also built in. Wire zoom/onZoomChange if you want programmatic zoom buttons or to persist zoom state; otherwise it works fully uncontrolled.

renderOverlay receives original page dimensions (originalWidth, originalHeight) so you can set up an SVG viewBox in the original coordinate space. Paths drawn in PDF-point or image-pixel coordinates will map correctly to the rendered page at any zoom level.
