Allow nested components

[pombadev]

It'd be nice to have something like:

--- My dashboard ----------------
| Component:1     | Component:2 |
|                               |
| Component:3                   |
---------------------------------

it seems like it’s just the parent container name “My Dashboard” you’re after, right? otherwise you could have three separate components and arrange them as you have in the diagram.

Yeah pretty much.

Hey @pjmp,
Is it purely for visualization (logical separation of area with a single title "My dashboard"), or you expect something more, like resize and move of the whole group?

[pombadev]

In my use case, i was thinking of just having a bordered box with title not expecting it to be moved, however others might have different use cases tho.

In this case I would suggest to not comlicate current layout with nesting support for now, since logical separation can be done with the empty textbox:

textboxes:
  - title: My dashboard
    position: [[14, 9], [47, 23]]
    sample: echo "" # JUST ECHO EMPTY STRING HERE
runcharts:
  - title: Search engine response time
    position: [[15, 19], [45, 12]]
    items:
      - label: GOOGLE
        color: 178
        sample: curl -o /dev/null -s -w '%{time_total}'  https://www.google.com
      - label: YAHOO
        sample: curl -o /dev/null -s -w '%{time_total}'  https://search.yahoo.com
sparklines:
  - title: CPU usage
    position: [[15, 10], [22, 8]]
    rate-ms: 200
    scale: 0
    sample: ps -A -o %cpu | awk '{s+=$1} END {print s}'
  - title: Free memory pages
    position: [[37, 10], [23, 8]]
    rate-ms: 200
    scale: 0
    sample: memory_pressure | grep 'Pages free' | awk '{print $3}'
