There are many widget ideas for the Dashboard. This task is a placeholder for people to find a new widget they would like to work on.

hello @darekkay , can I work for the Random Image as stand alone widget?

syentix commented

@adrianrios25 hey I was about to work on the same/similar widget. If you need any help tell me how to get in contact and we could work on it together.

what do you think? if I send a pull request, should I include both server and client side in one request? or should I separate it?

darekkay commented

Thanks @adrianrios25 , it looks good 🚀 One PR for both client & server is fine

adrianrios25 commented

@darekkay , I created a PR for the youtube stats.

Hello @darekkay ,
I found this inspirational quote api while browsing some repos, I think this can be a good widget, we can create a random inspirational quote. https://github.com/vinitshahdeo/inspirational-quotes

what do you think?

darekkay commented

@adrianrios25 I've also found this quotes project a few weeks ago and was thinking the same, so sure! 🚀

Hey @darekkay

I have two great ideas aboutthis.

  1. Simple Integration of API ( So each widget would request to url provided at the creation time of widget)

This is to support the small cases, where most people need to do perform GET request. THus will cover lot of scenarios!

  1. Integration of webhook

Basically people use webhook to get the latest blog post, build status etc. So thinking of generalised panel for this, given it should be cachable. If it's okay for you , iwould try to add. But i am not expert on front-end side (espcially react)

Hey @peeyushsrj , thank you for your ideas!

Simple Integration of API ( So each widget would request to url provided at the creation time of widget)

Currently, there are two file generators:

  • Run yarn generate (or npm run generate) in the app module to create a widget boilerplate. Select yes at the Does your widget use sagas (e.g. fetch external data)? prompt, and a sagas.js file will be created with some data-fetching code.

  • Run yarn generate in the server module to create a server route.

There's probably some more room to improve the boilerplate code, but for me it has been good enough. I'm open to improvements, though 🙂

Integration of webhook

I've created #25
