Halite / salt-api: best way to create a custom web interface for salt
bruno binet
Do you know if we can easily extend the Halite web interface, for example by adding a custom renderer that would render an additional web page next to the default interface while still using Halite core engine?

I'd suggest looking over the Halite source. If that's something you're interested in customizing it'll give you a nice head start. If not, salt-api was written with web applications in mind so you'll be fine building on it as well.

It does not use salt-api currently.

Halite was written with additional pages/views in mind. (The placeholder tab at the top of the page is an example of this.)

This was done to allow Halite to be able to experiment without worrying about maintaining backward compatibility.
