Django Dashing 0.2 release notes

These release notes cover the new features, as well as some backwards incompatible changes you’ll want to be aware of when upgrading from Django Dashing 0.1.x

What’s new

• Add data binding + templating solution provided by Rivets.js
• Add permission classes for dashboard view. See settings documentation
• Allow the loading of external widgets from Django Dashing Channel

Backwards-incompatible changes

List Widget

Changes the format of the expected data from [{'Some Label': 'value'}, ...] to [{label: 'Some Label', value: 'value'}, ...]

Number Widget

Changes the name of the label from change_rate to detail

Graph Widget

The method renderGraph was deleted, instead, now you can pass together with the data a xFormat, yFormat, beforeRender and afterRender functions. See graph widget documentation

All widgets

In your widgets config remove the <widget_name>/render publish call events and replace this.data = data (or equivalent) for $.extend(this.data, data) in getData methods (it's necessary for rivertsjs template system to work appropiatelly)

Other considerations

• If you have a dashing/dashboard.html file in your project, remove widget static files loaded explicitally, you probably only need the config_file block
• By dedault the permissions set in settings is ('dashing.permissions.AllowAll',)
