Widgets Overview

Radarboard’s dashboard widgets now share one rendering system:

• shared layout nodes
• shared section primitives
• shared recipes
• shared visual editor host

Widgets still differ by data source and default configuration, but they no longer need bespoke compact or expanded shells to participate in the dashboard.

​

Grid widgets

Grid widgets are the main content area. Each occupies a slot in the dashboard grid and can be expanded to full-screen by double-clicking or using the expand button.

​

Chrome components

Chrome components are fixed UI elements around the grid that provide at-a-glance information.

​

Widget configuration

Widgets can be rearranged by dragging slots. Their runtime and editor behavior is driven by persisted widget config rather than one-off UI state. The shared widget system now supports:

• shared template-backed compact and expanded rendering
• shared selection/detail dialogs
• shared filter state for widgets that need persisted controls
• shared visual editor support for production widgets
