DashKit

A dashboard grid rendering library.

Installation

npm i @gravity-ui/dashkit @gravity-ui/uikit

Description

The library is used to line up widgets in a grid, resize them, add new ones, and delete them. The widget is a react component. For example, text, graphics, and images.

New widgets are added via a plugin system.

Plugins

Plugins are required to create custom widgets.

Props

interface DashKitProps {
  config: Config;
  editMode: boolean;
  onItemEdit: ({id}: {id: string}) => void;
  onChange: (data: {config: Config; itemsStateAndParams: ItemsStateAndParams}) => void;
  defaultGlobalParams: GlobalParams;
  globalParams: GlobalParams;
  itemsStateAndParams: ItemsStateAndParams;
  settings: SettingsProps;
  context: ContextProps;
  overlayControls?: Record<string, OverlayControlItem[]>;
  noOverlay?: boolean;
}

• config: сonfig.
• editMode: Whether edit mode is enabled.
• onItemEdit: Called when you click to edit a widget.
• onChange: Called when config or itemsStateAndParams are changed.
• defaultGlobalParams, globalParams: Parameters that affect all widgets. In DataLens, defaultGlobalParams are global parameters set in the dashboard settings. globalParams are globals parameters that can be set in the url.
• itemsStateAndParams: itemsStateAndParams.
• settings: DashKit settings.
• context: Object that will be propped up on all widgets.
• overlayControls: Object that overrides widget controls at the time of editing. If not transmitted, basic controls will be displayed.
• noOverlay: If true, overlay and controls are not displayed while editing.
• draggableHandleClassName : СSS class name of the element that makes the widget draggable.

Usage

DashKit configuration

Before using DashKit as a react component, it must be configured.

• setLang

  Used for setting the language of DashKit provided ui elements. Currently the languages supported are: ru, en.

  import {setLang} from '@gravity-ui/dashkit';
  
  setLang('en');
  

  From version 3.0.0 the language must be set separately for each DashKit and Gravity-ui instances

  import {setLang} from '@gravity-ui/dashkit';
  import {configure as uiKitConfigure, Lang as UILang} from '@gravity-ui/uikit';
    
  setLang('en');
  uiKitConfigure({lang: lang as UILang});
  

• DashKit.setSettings

  Used for global DashKit settings (such as margins between widgets, default widget sizes and widget overlay menu)

  import {DashKit} from '@gravity-ui/dashkit';
  
  DashKit.setSettings({
    gridLayout: {margin: [8, 8]},
    isMobile: true,
    // menu: [] as Array<MenuItem>,
  });
  

• DashKit.registerPlugins

  Registering and configuring plugins

  import {DashKit} from '@gravity-ui/dashkit';
  import {pluginTitle, pluginText}  from '@gravity-ui/dashkit';
  
  DashKit.registerPlugins(
    pluginTitle,
    pluginText.setSettings({
      apiHandler({text}) {
        return api.getMarkdown(text);
      },
    }),
  );
  
  DashKit.registerPlugins({
    type: 'custom',
    defaultLayout: {
      w: 10,
      h: 8,
    },
    renderer: function CustomPlugin() {
      return <div>Custom widget with custom controls</div>;
    },
  });
  

Config

export interface Config {
  salt: string; // to form a unique id
  counter: number; // to form a unique id, only increases
  items: ConfigItem[]; //  initial widget states
  layout: ConfigLayout[]; // widget position on the grid https://github.com/react-grid-layout
  aliases: ConfigAliases; // aliases for parameters see #Params
  connections: ConfigConnection[]; // links between widgets see #Params
}

Config example:

import {DashKitProps} from '@gravity-ui/dashkit';

const config: DashKitProps['config'] = {
  salt: '0.46703554571365613',
  counter: 4,
  items: [
    {
      id: 'tT',
      data: {
        size: 'm',
        text: 'Caption',
        showInTOC: true,
      },
      type: 'title',
      namespace: 'default',
      orderId: 1,
    },
    {
      id: 'Ea',
      data: {
        text: 'mode _editActive',
        _editActive: true,
      },
      type: 'text',
      namespace: 'default',
    },
    {
      id: 'zR',
      data: {
        text: '### Text',
      },
      type: 'text',
      namespace: 'default',
      orderId: 0,
    },
    {
      id: 'Dk',
      data: {
        foo: 'bar',
      },
      type: 'custom',
      namespace: 'default',
      orderId: 5,
    },
  ],
  layout: [
    {
      h: 2,
      i: 'tT',
      w: 36,
      x: 0,
      y: 0,
    },
    {
      h: 6,
      i: 'Ea',
      w: 12,
      x: 0,
      y: 2,
    },
    {
      h: 6,
      i: 'zR',
      w: 12,
      x: 12,
      y: 2,
    },
    {
      h: 4,
      i: 'Dk',
      w: 8,
      x: 0,
      y: 8,
    },
  ],
  aliases: {},
  connections: [],
};

Add a new item to the config:

const newConfig = DashKit.setItem({
  item: {
    data: {
      text: `Some text`,
    },
    namespace: 'default',
    type: 'text',
  },
  config: config,
});

Change an existing item in the config:

const newConfig = DashKit.setItem({
  item: {
    id: 'tT', // item.id
    data: {
      size: 'm',
      text: `New caption`,
    },
    namespace: 'default',
    type: 'title',
  },
  config: config,
});

Delete an item from the config:

import {DashKitProps} from '@gravity-ui/dashkit';

const oldItemsStateAndParams: DashKitProps['itemsStateAndParams'] = {};

const {config: newConfig, itemsStateAndParams} = DashKit.removeItem({
  id: 'tT', // item.id
  config: config,
  itemsStateAndParams: this.state.itemsStateAndParams,
});

Params

type Params = Record<string, string | string[]>;

DashKit generates parameters according to the default parameters for widgets, links, and aliases. These parameters are required for the ChartKit library.

Generation order:

1. defaultGlobalParams
2. Default widget parameters item.default
3. globalParams
4. Parameters from itemsStateAndParams according to the queue.

itemsStateAndParams

Object that stores widget parameters and states as well as a parameter change queue. It has a __meta__ field for storing queue and meta information.

interface StateAndParamsMeta = {
    __meta__: {
        queue: {id: string}[]; // queue
        version: number; // current version itemsStateAndParams
    };
}

And also widget states and parameters:

interface ItemsStateAndParamsBase {
  [itemId: string]: {
    state?: Record<string, any>;
    params?: Params;
  };
}

type ItemsStateAndParams = StateAndParamsMeta & ItemsStateAndParamsBase;

Menu

You can specify custom DashKit widget overlay menu in edit mode

type MenuItem = {
  id: string; // uniq id
  title?: string; // string title
  icon?: ReactNode; // node of icon
  iconSize?: number | string; // icon size in px as number or as string with units
  handler?: (item: ConfigItem) => void; // custom item action handler
  visible?: (item: ConfigItem) => boolean; // optional visibility handler for filtering menu items
  className?: string; // custom class property
};

// use array of menu items in settings
DashKit.setSettings({menu: [] as Array<MenuItem>});

Development

Build & watch

• Build dependencies npm ci
• Build a project npm run build
• Build storybook npm run start

By default, storybook runs on http://localhost:7120/. New changes from a project aren't always picked up when storybook is running, so it's better to rebuild a project manually and restart storybook.

Example of an nginx config for development on a dev machine

server {
    server_name dashkit.username.ru;

    include common/ssl;

    access_log /home/username/logs/common.access.log;
    error_log /home/username/logs/common.error.log;

    root /home/username/projects/dashkit;

    location / {
        try_files $uri @node;
    }

    location @node {
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:7120;
        proxy_redirect off;
    }
