Prerequisites
===============================================
- Django 1.5.+
- Django Compressor (optional)

Key concepts
===============================================
- Use premade widgets, or fully create your own with css, html, and javascript.
- Use the API to push data to your dashboards.
- Drag & Drop interface for re-arranging your widgets.

Installation
===============================================
1. Install latest stable version from PyPi:

.. code-block:: text

$ pip install django-dashing

2. Add `dashing` to ``INSTALLED_APPS`` of the your projects.

.. code-block:: python

INSTALLED_APPS = (
...
'dashing',
)

3. Include the dashboard URLconf in your project urls.py like this:

.. code-block:: python

from dashing.utils import router
...
url(r'^dashboard/', include(router.urls)),

4. Start the development server and visit http://127.0.0.1:8000/dashboard/
to view the dummy dashboard.

Quick Start
===============================================

To make your own dashboard and retrieves the data from django you should:

1. Create a django dashboard application with a `widgets.py` file

2. Create your widget extended from **NumberWidget**, **ListWidget**, **GraphWidget** or simply **Widget** (from dashing.widgets), for example `see `_.

3. Register your widget in `urls.py` like:

.. code-block:: python

from django.conf.urls import url, include
from dashing.utils import router

from project.dashboard.widgets import CustomWidget

router.register(CustomWidget, 'custom_widget')

urlpatterns = [
url(r'^dashboard/', include(router.urls)),
]

Create a dashing-config.js file with a widget that retrive the data in your static directory like:

.. code-block:: javascript

var myDashboard = new Dashboard();
myDashboard.addWidget('customWidget', 'Number', {
getData: function () {
var self = this;
Dashing.utils.get('custom_widget', function(data) {
$.extend(self.scope, data);
});
},
interval: 3000
});

Also if you want to locate the config file in a different directory you can create a `dashing/dashboard.html` file in your **TEMPLATE_DIRS** and replace the **config_file** block to the route of your javascript config file, see the `docs `_.
