Node-RED Custom Dashboard Page + Google Maps

Build imaginary monitoring site using Node-RED template node after reading the following examples.

Node-RED nodes

HTTP GET /monitornode
(function node) msg.payload.apikey for Google Map API Key
(template node) msg.payload.script for Javascript
(template node) msg.payload.style for CSS style
(template node) msg.payload = HTML template + CDN links (jquery, bootstrap, google map, etc) + msg.payload.apikey + msg.payload.script + msg.payload.style
msg.payload => (HTTP Response node)

Google Maps Platform

New pricing changes go into effect starting July 16, 2018. Get-API-Key

Once Google API-Key is available,

In Function node,

Assign msg.payload.apikey <- Google Map API Key

In HTML template,

<script async defer src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key={{{payload.apikey}}}&callback=initMap" type="text/javascript"></script>

Read files from the local storage

For example,

Set httpStatic in settings.js to $HOME/.node_red/dist.
Place picture.jpg' in $HOME/.node_red/dist/images`
<img src="/images/picture.jpg"> in index.html

If CDN options are not desirable, use httpStatic and adjust src attribute.
