Lowdefy Reporting Example

View this example.

This example demonstrates useful patterns for building a BI report/dashboard pages in Lowdefy. It connects to a MongoDB database with the Atlas Movies sample dataset pre-loaded.

This reporting example is deployed using Netlify.

Three additional block types are loaded for this example:

• AmChartsXY and AmChartsPie from @lowdefy/blocks-amcharts.
• AgGridAlpine, from @lowdefy/blocks-aggrid.

Running this example

• Create a MongoDB cluster and get a URI connection string:
  • Create a free MongoDB database cluster hosted by MongoDB Atlas.
  • Load the Atlas sample dataset.
  • In the Database access section, create a database user with read access to any database (You can also specify the database as sample_mflix).
  • In the main cluster view, click "connect", then "Connect you application". This will give a MongoDB URI connection string. Use the credentials you just created.
  • You can read more about the Lowdefy MongoDB connector.
• Clone this repository.
• Create a .env file in your project folder and set your MongoDB database connector URI as a variable in the .env file: LOWDEFY_SECRET_EXAMPLES_MDB="{{ your_mongodb_connection_uri }}"
• In the command console, navigate to your project folder and run the Lowdefy CLI: npx lowdefy@latest dev.

Deploying this example
