Charts

[harold66]

Can I add charting functionality to the existing ExtJS in traccar? I'm following the directions written here https://docs.sencha.com/extjs/5.1/components/introduction_to_charting.html but I don't know how to go on.

[tananaev]

It should be possible, but I have never tried it myself.

[harold66]

Where can I find the following file?
{appRoot}/app.json

And would I be able to rebuild the application using sencha app build?

[tananaev]

No. It doesn't use app.json file.

Hi @tananaev, I'm @harold66 workmate who's helping him out with that issue. If it doesn't use app.json, is there any way to adding charts?

[tananaev]

There must be a way, but as far as I know Charts are not part of GPL version, so you need to buy a license.

[russellhoff]

@tananaev thanks for your kind help

[russellhoff]

So any way to use any chart (google charts, highcharts, chartjs...)?

[tananaev]

Of course. You can use any web technology you want.

Hi @russellhoff, any updates on Charts ?

[russellhoff]

Sorry @kirantpatil , I wasn't in charge of the project at my company. Indeed, the project was left over and the person left the company.

I'm thinking over charts.
What charts do you want?
Only speed chart comes to my mind.

I am thinking some kind of analytic to embed to get meaningful graphs and stats.

How about using R ?

Allowing using R will help come up with advanced stats with future projection.

IMHO, so powerful analytics should be external part, not the part of traccar, at least at current stage.

But still..., You are talking about tools..., but what graph and stats do you want to get?

[kirantpatil]

Yes, I agree with you.

I would go for traccar community members suggestion, who have production setup.

[tananaev]

One simple option is to allow user to pick attribute and period of time, and just draw it as a graph.
