Jul 22, 2021 | Programming

Welcome to the world of customizable dashboards! This guide will walk you through the steps needed to build your own personalized dashboards using a simple drag and drop interface

Getting Started with Dashboards

Setting up your dashboard application is straightforward. Think of this process like crafting a delicious sandwich: gather your ingredients (technologies), layer them just right (installation process), and enjoy your creation.

Technology Stack

Before we dive into the assembly, let’s take a look at the ingredients you’ll be using:

Building Your Application

Now, let’s layer those ingredients and get the setup right!

Clone the Repository

First, you’ll need to grab the code that powers your dashboards. Clone the repository to your local machine:

git clone [repository_url]

Install Packages

Next, you’ll want to install the necessary packages. Use either one of these commands:

yarn install
npm install

Starting the Dashboard Application

To launch your application locally, it’s time to hit the ground running:

npm start

Building for Deployment

Ready to show off your dashboard to the world? Build the application for deployment:

npm run build

Contributing Widgets

Just like customizing your sandwich with toppings, you can enhance your dashboard with custom widgets. If you’re interested in contributing, head over to the app/widgets folder where you can start experimenting with new widgets.

Deployment

Your continuous deployment will live on dashboards.cxjs.io, thanks to Netlify!

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues during your setup, consider these troubleshooting tips:

  • Check if you have the latest versions of Node.js and npm installed.
  • Ensure that you have cloned the correct repository URL.
  • Clear your npm cache by running npm cache clean --force and try to reinstall packages.
