Dashboard templates

For every dashboard, we need dashboard templates (pug). These templates should be placed in the customer-{customer code}-hub-app GitHub repo in /templates/dashboard folder.

Example dashboard

extends ../views/dashboard/default-dashboard

block append dashboardConfig
  +dashboardOptions({
    width: "large"
})

block dashboardContent

  +dashboardElement({
    name: "image",
    layout: {
      x: '1',
      y: '0',
      width: '3',
      height: '3'
    },
    type: "image",
    nodatamessage: "",
    config: {
      url: "{{user.custom.pictureurl}}"
    }
  })

  +dashboardElement({
    name: "name",
    type: "standardheader",
    layout: {
      x: '1',
      y: '4',
      width: '3',
      height: '1'
    },
    config: {
      header: "{{user.name}}",
      subheader: "{{user.email}}"
    }
  })

Dashboard options

  • width (default: "standard") - The width of the dashboard. Choose between small, standard or large.
  • dashboardTitle (default: dashboard title) - The dashboard title
