Prerequisites

  • Django 1.5.+
  • Django Compressor (optional)

Key concepts

  • Use premade widgets, or fully create your own with css, html, and javascript.
  • Use the API to push data to your dashboards.
  • Drag & Drop interface for re-arranging your widgets.

Installation

  1. Install latest stable version from PyPi:
$ pip install django-dashing
  1. Add dashing to INSTALLED_APPS of the your projects.
INSTALLED_APPS = (
    ...
    'dashing',
)
  1. Include the dashboard URLconf in your project urls.py like this:
from dashing.utils import router
...
url(r'^dashboard/', include(router.urls)),
  1. Start the development server and visit http://127.0.0.1:8000/dashboard/ to view the dummy dashboard.

Quick Start

To make your own dashboard and retrieves the data from django you should:

  1. Create a django dashboard application with a widgets.py file
  2. Create your widget extended from NumberWidget, ListWidget, GraphWidget or simply Widget (from dashing.widgets), for example see.
  1. Register your widget in urls.py like:
from django.conf.urls import url, include
from dashing.utils import router

from project.dashboard.widgets import CustomWidget

router.register(CustomWidget, 'custom_widget')

urlpatterns = [
    url(r'^dashboard/', include(router.urls)),
]

Create a dashing-config.js file with a widget that retrive the data in your static directory like:

var myDashboard = new Dashboard();
myDashboard.addWidget('customWidget', 'Number', {
    getData: function () {
        var self = this;
        Dashing.utils.get('custom_widget', function(data) {
            $.extend(self.scope, data);
        });
    },
    interval: 3000
});

Also if you want to locate the config file in a different directory you can create a dashing/dashboard.html file in your TEMPLATE_DIRS and replace the config_file block to the route of your javascript config file, see the docs.
