The following application demonstrates the DevExpress HTML5 JavaScript Web Dashboard. The JavaScript client side is hosted on the GitHub Pages, while the ASP.NET MVC / Web API server side - on DevExpress.com.
See in action:
https://devexpress.github.io/web-dashboard-demo/
The Web Dashboard can now be easily rendered on the client-side, while having data fed to it by an ASP.NET MVC / Web API back-end. This means you can:
- Integrate a dashboard into any place that supports HTTP requests (e.g., see the GitHub Pages Demo).
- Publish Web Dashboard as a part of applications based on Angular, Knockout, Vue and similar frameworks.
- Use the Dashboard side-by-side with DevExtreme client-side widgets to create highly responsive web apps.
The server-side of this project is hosted on the DevExpress.com. See the Getting Started section of the DevExpress Dashboard Documentation to learn how to create the Web Dashboard application:
The index.html file contains the client-side configuration and consists of the following main parts:
- The attached stylesheet and scripts inside the
<head>section:

<div id="container" style="position: absolute; left: 0; right: 0; top: 0; bottom: 0">
</div>
</body>- A script inside the

// Adds required HTML resources to the DOM:
DevExpress.Dashboard.ResourceManager.embedBundledResources();
// Creates a new Web Dashboard control with the specified ID and settings:
var dashboardControl = new DevExpress.Dashboard.DashboardControl(document.getElementById("container"), {
// Configures an URL where the Web Dashboard's server-side is hosted:
endpoint: "https://demos.devexpress.com/services/dashboard/api",
workingMode: "Viewer",
extensions: {
"dashboard-panel": (control) => new DevExpress.Dashboard.DashboardPanelExtension(control)
}
});
// Renders the created dashboard.
dashboardControl.render();
};
</script>
