Getting started

Dashboard Plugin starter KIT repo on Bitbucket:

This guide will teach you how to build a plugin with an application, agent and widget. Also how to communicate between them and fetching external data.

Before you get started you should read The anatomy of a plugin and have understanding of a plugins life cycle.

Introduction

Our scenario is to build a plugin that fetches data from Krisinformation (SE) and displays it in a list with a details view in a modal, we also want to refresh the data on a, by user, selected interval. To let the user know when the latest update was we put that info in a widget. The data should be cached and persisted between users.

Prerequisites

  • Git

  • NodeJS

We also need to get the Dashboard Developer Plugin. Follow the install instructions in the README.md
