Approach of Chart Function

Open gloriaok00 opened this issue 5 years ago • 1 comments

Hi Guys,

Good Day! Currently we are eager for some chart functions, and hope that could be displayed as a tab in the assignment block. What is the best approach of this? Is it the best way to use sitewhere-ide-components as a tab component and involved echarts? Moreover, is it will be risk to abandon sitewhere-ide-components component only using echarts? thx~

If you are building a custom user interface, it's probably easiest to develop a stand-alone application independent of the SiteWhere admin UI. That way you can easily customize all aspects of the interface. We offer a JavaScript REST API library that exposes all of the API and model via TypeScript. You could also use the SiteWhere IDE components as part of your web/Electron app if you want a look-and-feel similar to our UI.

Our medium-term plan is to offer a component library that includes chart components which work out-of-the-box with SiteWhere microservices so that it's easy to build applications, but we are still finishing the core system right now.
