Developing Your Own Flux Packages (InfluxDays London 2019)

Flux is easy to contribute to, and it is easy to share functions and libraries of Flux code with other developers. Although there are many functions in the language, the true power of Flux is its ability to be extended with custom functions. In this session, David will show you how to write your own custom function to perform some new analytics.
