Dashboard

Update app.constants.ts, creating a new entry for your component under DASHBOARD.ITEM constant. The TYPE property it is the key (i.e. name) to identify your component, the COLUMNS is the default number of columns that should be assigned to your component, and the DEFAULTS is the default configuration for your component. You need to define all three properties. If your component should only be included in a dashboard once, add it to the SINGLE_INSTANCE_ITEMS array.

Update dashboard-item-new.component.ts, adding your component to the itemsList array in ngOnInit().

If your component requires custom configuration options, create a DTO to capture your component's configuration under dto/configuration. The DTO should be named dashboard-item-<type>-configuration-dto.ts.

Create 'view' and 'edit' Angular components for your component under dashboard/items. The 'view' component should be named dashboard-item-<type>.component.ts and the 'edit' component should be named dashboard-item-<type>-edit.component.ts.

The value targeting your component will be available in lastMessage variables. If you want your component to also receive real-time notification when that value changes (e.g. to perform a manual action 'on change') you can have your component subscribing to the lastMessageEmitter emitter. Check existing components for examples on how to do this.

Update dashboard-view.component.html to include your component in the ngxMasonryItem div.

Update AppConstants.java, creating a new entry for your component under Dashboard.Type. The name of this entry should match exactly the TYPE property defined in the frontend.

Create a new class to represent the updates of your component under esthesis.services.dashboard.impl.dto.update. The class should be named DashboardUpdate<type>.java.

Update DashboardUpdateJobFactory.java to include the job helper for your component.

Update DashboardUpdateJob.java, by adding your component in the execute method's switch block. Depending on the type of your component, you should probably create a helper class to handle the actual update logic.

(Optional) Create a configuration class to capture the configuration of your component under esthesis.services.dashboard.impl.dto.config. The class should be named DashboardItem<type>Configuration.java.
