Proof of concept d3js with metasfresh WebUI Dashboard

Proof of concept d3js (or similar chart tool) with metasfresh WebUI Dashboard

• shall be seemlessly embedable
• no unsmooth loading time when opening/ refreshing dashboard (lightening fast)
• transitions/ animations possible

what would a general approach look like? how would the config look like on backend/ frontend?

The most important thing is to say what type of charts would it be? Because i have to make sure if i can get something that is ready, or we need any custom drawings.

Second thing, if we are gonna have a "library" of charts (as we have with widgets), the layouting would be the same as with widgets (chart type and so on).

And i believe that we can deliver data to that, with our protocols that we have: 1) static API calls, i.e. refreshed some time, 2) websockets to have it more relative

Hi,

1. i think we shall build a list of what kind of charts do we need.
2. then we shall define an API protocol about how the indicators will be defined and provided.

AFAIK, elasicsearch does not support continuous queries so i think polling (via API calls) it's the only option atm.

I was thinking about "Basic Charts" first
see https://github.com/d3/d3/wiki/Gallery#basic-charts
and from those for poc we could take for example a simple bar chart or pie chart.
