Development with Dashboard 2.0

You can read our contribution guide for details on developing your own Dashboard 2.0 integrations & widgets.

This project is intended to be used as a starting point for creating your own custom nodes that can integrate directly with Node-RED Dashboard 2.0.

Note that if you're looking to contribute directly to Node-RED Dashboard 2.0, then use the examples already in the core repository to build on, as they are structured differently to external/third-party widgets.

Architecture

All third-party (non-core) nodes for Node-RED Dashboard 2.0 are structured such that they extend the core ui-template node, and provide access such that you can define custom HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for your widget.
