# Alternate Views & Opening Methods
## Views
As well as the default start view, Dashy has several other start pages, for different tasks. You can switch views with the view-switcher button in the top-right, or set a default starting view using the `appConfig.startingView` attribute (can be `default`, `minimal` or `workspace`).
Dashy has three different views:
- Default View - This is the main homepage with sections in a grid layout
- Workspace View - Items displayed on the side, and are launched within Dashy
- Minimal View - A clean + simple tabbed view
You can switch between views using the dropdown in the top-right corner. Set your chosen Starting View with `appConfig.startingView`. Click the page title at any time to go back to your selected starting view.
### Default
This is the main page that you will land on when you first launch the application. Here all of your sections and items will be visible, you can modify settings and search + launch your applications.

### Workspace
The workspace view displays your links in a sidebar on the left-hand side, and apps are launched within Dashy. This enables you to use all of your self-hosted apps from one place, and makes multi-tasking easy.
The workspace view displays your links in a sidebar on the left-hand side, and apps are launched inside an iframe without having to leave Dashy. This enables you to use all of your self-hosted apps from one place, and makes multi-tasking easy.
In the workspace view, you can opt to keep previously opened websites/ apps open in the background, by setting `appConfig.enableMultiTasking: true`. This comes at the cost of performance, but does mean that your session with each app is preserved, enabling you to quickly switch between your apps.
You can specify a default app to be opened when you land on the workspace, by setting `appConfig.workspaceLandingUrl: https://app-to-open/`. If this app exists within your sections.items, then the corresponding section will also be expanded.

### Minimal View
The minimal view aims to be super fast and simple, and can be used as a browser startpage. Items are grouped into a tab view, and the last opened tab will be remembered. Similar to the main view, you can search and launch items just by typing, and right-clicking will show more options.

Dashy supports several different ways to launch your apps. The default opening method for each app can be specified using the `target` attribute, with a value of one of the following:
Dashy supports several different ways to launch your apps. The primary opening method for each app can be specified using the `target` attribute, with a value of one of the following:

You can also set a default opening method, which will be applied to all items that don't have a specified target, using `appConfig.defaultOpeningMethod`, to one of the above values.
Even if the target is not set (or is set to `sametab`), you can still launch any given app in an alternative method: Alt + Click will open the modal, and Ctrl + Click will open in a new tab. You can also right-click on any item to see all options (as seen in the screenshot below). This custom context menu can be disabled by setting `appConfig.disableContextMenu: true`.
Even if the target is not set (or is set to `sametab`), you can still launch any given app in an alternative method. Either right-click to see all options, or use one of the keyboard shortcuts: Alt + Click will open the modal, and Ctrl + Click will open in a new tab.

If you don't like the custom context menu, it can be disabled by setting `appConfig.disableContextMenu: true`.
If you get a 'Refused to Connect' error in the modal or workspace views, then the target app has it's X-Frame-Options HTTP set to block requests from embedded content. You can easily fix this by setting this header to ALLOW, for instructions on how to do so, see the [Troubleshooting Docs](/docs/troubleshooting#refused-to-connect-in-modal-or-workspace-view).

### 4. Add groups and roles (Optional)
Keycloak allows you to assign users roles and groups. You can use these values to configure who can access various sections in Dashy.
Keycloak server administration and configuration is a deep topic; please refer to the [server admin guide](https://www.keycloak.org/docs/latest/server_admin/index.html#assigning-permissions-and-access-using-roles-and-groups) to see details about creating and assigning roles and groups.
Once you have groups or roles assigned to users you can configure access under each sections `displayData.showForKeycloakUser` and `displayData.hideForKeycloakUser`.
Both show and hide configurations accept a list of `groups` and `roles` that limit access. If a users data matches one or more items in these lists they will be allowed or excluded as defined.
```yaml
sections:
- name: DeveloperResources
displayData:
showForKeycloakUsers:
roles: ['canViewDevResources']
hideForKeycloakUsers:
groups: ['ProductTeam']
```
Your app is now secured :) When you load Dashy, it will redirect to your Keycloak login page, and any user without valid credentials will be prevented from accessing your dashboard.
From within the Keycloak console, you can then configure things like user permissions, time outs, password policies, access, etc. You can also backup your full Keycloak config, and it is recommended to do this, along with your Dashy config. You can spin up both Dashy and Keycloak simultaneously and restore both applications configs using a `docker-compose.yml` file, and this is recommended.

# Configuring
All app configuration is specified in [`/public/conf.yml`](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/blob/master/public/conf.yml) which is in [YAML Format](https://yaml.org/) format. Changes can also be made [directly through the UI](#editing-config-through-the-ui) and previewed live, from here you can also export, backup, reset, validate and download your configuration file.
The following file provides a reference of all supported configuration options.

Tips:
- You may find it helpful to look at some sample config files to get you started, a collection of which can be found [here](https://gist.github.com/Lissy93/000f712a5ce98f212817d20bc16bab10)
- You can check that your config file fits the schema, by running `yarn validate-config`
- After modifying your config, the app needs to be recompiled, by running `yarn build` - this happens automatically whilst the app is running if you're using Docker
- It is recommended to make and keep a backup of your config file. You can download your current config through the UI either from the Config menu, or using the `/download` endpoint. Alternatively, you can use the [Cloud Backup](/docs/backup-restore) feature.
- The config can also be modified directly through the UI, validated and written to the conf.yml file.
- All fields are optional, unless otherwise stated.

**[⬆️ Back to Top](#)**
### `pageInfo.navLinks` _(optional)_
**Field** | **Type** | **Required**| **Description**
--- | --- | --- | ---
**`title`** | `string` | Required | The text to display on the link button

**[⬆️ Back to Top](#)**
### `appConfig` _(optional)_
**Field** | **Type** | **Required**| **Description**
--- | --- | --- | ---
**`language`** | `string` | _Optional_ | The 2 (or 4-digit) [ISO 639-1 code](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes) for your language, e.g. `en` or `en-GB`. This must be a language that the app has already been [translated](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/tree/master/src/assets/locales) into. If your language is unavailable, Dashy will fallback to English. By default Dashy will attempt to auto-detect your language, although this may not work on some privacy browsers.
**`startingView`** | `enum` | _Optional_ | Which page to load by default, and on the base page or domain root. You can still switch to different views from within the UI. Can be either `default`, `minimal` or `workspace`. Defaults to `default`
**`defaultOpeningMethod`** | `enum` | _Optional_ | The default opening method for items, if no `target` is specified for a given item. Can be either `newtab`, `sametab`, `top`, `parent`, `modal` or `workspace`. Defaults to `newtab`
**`statusCheck`** | `boolean` | _Optional_ | When set to `true`, Dashy will ping each of your services and display their status as a dot next to each item. This can be overridden by setting `statusCheck` under each item. Defaults to `false`
**`statusCheckInterval`** | `boolean` | _Optional_ | The number of seconds between checks. If set to `0` then service will only be checked on initial page load, which is usually the desired functionality. If value is less than `10` you may experience a hit in performance. Defaults to `0`
**`webSearch`** | `object` | _Optional_ | Configuration options for the web search feature, set your default search engine, opening method or disable web search. See [`webSearch`](#appconfigwebsearch-optional)
**`backgroundImg`** | `string` | _Optional_ | Path to an optional full-screen app background image. This can be either remote (http) or local (/). Note that this will slow down initial load
**`enableFontAwesome`** | `boolean` | _Optional_ | Where `true` is enabled, if left blank font-awesome will be enabled only if required by 1 or more icons
**`fontAwesomeKey`** | `string` | _Optional_ | If you have a font-awesome key, then you can use it here and make use of premium icons. It is a 10-digit alpha-numeric string from you're FA kit URL (e.g. `13014ae648`)
**`faviconApi`** | `enum` | _Optional_ | Only applicable if you are using favicons for item icons. Specifies which service to use to resolve favicons. Set to `local` to do this locally, without using an API. Services running locally will use this option always. Available options are: `local`, `faviconkit`, `google`, `clearbit`, `webmasterapi` and `allesedv`. Defaults to `faviconkit`. See [Icons](/docs/icons#favicons) for more info
**`auth`** | `object` | _Optional_ | All settings relating to user authentication. See [`auth`](#appconfigauth-optional)
**`layout`** | `enum` | _Optional_ | Layout for homepage, either `horizontal`, `vertical` or `auto`. Defaults to `auto`. This specifies the layout and direction of how sections are positioned on the home screen. This can also be modified and overridden from the UI.
**`iconSize`** | `enum` | _Optional_ | The size of link items / icons. Can be either `small`, `medium,` or `large`. Defaults to `medium`. This can also be set directly from the UI.
**`colCount`** | `number` | _Optional_ | The number of columns of sections displayed on the homepage, using the default view. Should be in integer between `1` and `8`. Note that by default this is applied responsively, based on current screen size, and specifying a value here will override this behavior, which may not be desirable.
**`theme`** | `string` | _Optional_ | The default theme for first load (you can change this later from the UI)
**`cssThemes`** | `string[]` | _Optional_ | An array of custom theme names which can be used in the theme switcher dropdown
**`customColors`** | `object`| _Optional_ | Enables you to apply a custom color palette to any given theme. Use the theme name (lowercase) as the key, for an object including key-value-pairs, with the color variable name as keys, and 6-digit hex code as value. See [Theming](/docs/theming#modifying-theme-colors) for more info
**`externalStyleSheet`** | `string` or `string[]` | _Optional_ | Either a URL to an external stylesheet or an array or URLs, which can be applied as themes within the UI
**`customCss`** | `string` | _Optional_ | Raw CSS that will be applied to the page. This can also be set from the UI. Please minify it first.
**`hideComponents`** | `object` | _Optional_ | A list of key page components (header, footer, search, settings, etc) that are present by default, but can be removed using this option. See [`appConfig.hideComponents`](#appconfighideComponents-optional)
**`routingMode`** | `string` | _Optional_ | Can be either `hash` or `history`. Determines the URL format for sub-pages, hash mode will look like `/#/home` whereas with history mode available you have nice clean URLs, like `/home`. For more info, see the [Vue docs](https://router.vuejs.org/guide/essentials/history-mode.html#example-server-configurations). If you're hosting Dashy with a custom BASE_URL, you will find that a bit of extra server config is necessary to get history mode working, so here you may want to instead use `hash` mode.Defaults to `history`.
**`enableMultiTasking`** | `boolean` | _Optional_ | If set to true, will keep apps open in the background when in the workspace view. Useful for quickly switching between multiple sites, and preserving their state, but comes at the cost of performance.
**`workspaceLandingUrl`** | `string` | _Optional_ | The URL or an app, service or website to launch when the workspace view is opened, before another service has been launched
**`allowConfigEdit`** | `boolean` | _Optional_ | Should prevent / allow the user to write configuration changes to the conf.yml from the UI. When set to `false`, the user can only apply changes locally using the config editor within the app, whereas if set to `true` then changes can be written to disk directly through the UI. Defaults to `true`. Note that if authentication is enabled, the user must be of type `admin` in order to apply changes globally.
**`enableErrorReporting`** | `boolean` | _Optional_ | Enable reporting of unexpected errors and crashes. This is off by default, and **no data will ever be captured unless you explicitly enable it**. Turning on error reporting helps previously unknown bugs get discovered and fixed. Dashy uses [Sentry](https://github.com/getsentry/sentry) for error reporting. Defaults to `false`.
**`sentryDsn`** | `boolean` | _Optional_ | If you need to monitor errors in your instance, then you can use Sentry to collect and process bug reports. Sentry can be self-hosted, or used as SaaS, once your instance is setup, then all you need to do is pass in the DSN here, and enable error reporting. You can learn more on the [Sentry DSN Docs](https://docs.sentry.io/product/sentry-basics/dsn-explainer/). Note that this will only ever be used if `enableErrorReporting` is explicitly enabled.
**`disableSmartSort`** | `boolean` | _Optional_ | For the most-used and last-used app sort functions to work, a basic open-count is stored in local storage. If you do not want this to happen, then disable smart sort here, but you wil no longer be able to use these sort options. Defaults to `false`.
**`disableUpdateChecks`** | `boolean` | _Optional_ | If set to true, Dashy will not check for updates. Defaults to `false`.
**`enableServiceWorker`** | `boolean` | _Optional_ | Service workers cache web applications to improve load times and offer basic offline functionality, and are enabled by default in Dashy. The service worker can sometimes cause older content to be cached, requiring the app to be hard-refreshed. If you do not want SW functionality, or are having issues with caching, set this property to `true` to disable all service workers.
**`disableContextMenu`** | `boolean` | _Optional_ | If set to `true`, the custom right-click context menu will be disabled. Defaults to `false`.

### `appConfig.auth` _(optional)_
**Field** | **Type** | **Required**| **Description**
--- | --- | --- | ---
**`users`** | `array` | _Optional_ | An array of objects containing usernames and hashed passwords. If this is not provided, then authentication will be off by default, and you will not need any credentials to access the app. See [`appConfig.auth.users`](#appconfigauthusers-optional). <br />**Note** this method of authentication is handled on the client side, so for security critical situations, it is recommended to use an [alternate authentication method](/docs/authentication#alternative-authentication-methods).
**`enableKeycloak`** | `boolean` | _Optional_ | If set to `true`, then authentication using Keycloak will be anabled. Note that you need to have an instance running, and have also configured `auth.keycloak`. Defaults to `false`
**`keycloak`** | `object` | _Optional_ | Config options to point Dashy to your Keycloak server. Requires `enableKeycloak: true`. See [`auth.keycloak`](#appconfigauthkeycloak-optional) for more info
**`enableGuestAccess`** | `boolean` | _Optional_ | When set to `true`, an unauthenticated user will be able to access the dashboard, with read-only access, without having to login. Requires `auth.users` to be configured. Defaults to `false`.

**`customSearchEngine`** | `string` | _Optional_ | You can also use a custom search engine, or your own self-hosted instance. This requires `searchEngine: custom` to be set. Then add the URL of your service, with GET query string included here
**`openingMethod`** | `string` | _Optional_ | Set your preferred opening method for search results: `newtab`, `sametab`, `workspace`. Defaults to `newtab`
**`searchBangs`** | `object` | _Optional_ | A key-value-pair set of custom search _bangs_ for redirecting query to a specific app or search engine. The key of each should be the bang you will type (typically starting with `/`, `!` or `:`), and value is the destination, either as a search engine key (e.g. `reddit`) or a URL with search parameters (e.g. `https://en.wikipedia.org/w/?search=`)

### `section.icon` and `section.item.icon`
**Field** | **Type** | **Required**| **Description**
--- | --- | --- | ---
**`icon`** | `string` | _Optional_ | The icon for a given item or section. See [Icon Docs](/docs/icons) for all available supported icon types. To auto-fetch icon from a services URL, aet to `favicon`. To use font-awesome, specify the category, followed by the icon name, e.g. `fas fa-rocket`, `fab fa-monero` or `fal fa-duck`. Similarly, for branded icons, you can use [simple-icons](https://simpleicons.org/) by setting icon to `si-[icon-name]` or [material-design-icons](https://dev.materialdesignicons.com/icons) by setting icon to `mdi-[icon-name]`. If set to `generative`, then a unique icon is generated from the apps URL or IP. You can also use hosted any by specifying it's URL, e.g. `https://i.ibb.co/710B3Yc/space-invader-x256.png`. To use a local image, first store it in `./public/item-icons/` (or `-v /app/public/item-icons/` in Docker) , and reference it by name and extension - e.g. set `image.png` to use `./public/item-icon/image.png`, you can also use sub-folders if you have a lot of icons, to keep them organised.

## Notes
### Editing Config through the UI
Config can be modified directly through the UI, and then written to disk, or applied locally. This can be done wither with the raw config editor (introduced in V 0.6.5 / [#3](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/pull/3)), or the interactive editor (introduced in V 1.8.9 / [#298](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/pull/298)).

### About YAML
If you're new to YAML, it's pretty straight-forward. The format is exactly the same as that of JSON, but instead of using curly braces, structure is denoted using whitespace. This [quick guide](https://linuxhandbook.com/yaml-basics/) should get you up to speed in a few minutes, for more advanced topics take a look at this [Wikipedia article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YAML).
### Config Saving Methods
When updating the config through the JSON editor in the UI, you have two save options: **Local** or **Write to Disk**.
- Changes saved locally will only be applied to the current user through the browser, and will not apply to other instances - you either need to use the cloud sync feature, or manually update the conf.yml file.
- On the other-hand, if you choose to write changes to disk, then your main `conf.yml` file will be updated, and changes will be applied to all users, and visible across all devices. For this functionality to work, you must be running Dashy with using the Docker container, or the Node server. A backup of your current configuration will also be saved in the same directory.
### Preventing Changes being Written to Disk
To disallow any changes from being written to disk via the UI config editor, set `appConfig.allowConfigEdit: false`. If you are using users, and have setup `auth` within Dashy, then only users with `type: admin` will be able to write config changes to disk.
### Example
```yaml

# Configuring
All app configuration is specified in [`/public/conf.yml`](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/blob/master/public/conf.yml) which is in [YAML Format](https://yaml.org/) format. Changes can also be made [directly through the UI](#editing-config-through-the-ui) and previewed live, from here you can also export, backup, reset, validate and download your configuration file.
The following file provides a reference of all supported configuration options.

Tips:
- You may find it helpful to look at some sample config files to get you started, a collection of which can be found [here](https://gist.github.com/Lissy93/000f712a5ce98f212817d20bc16bab10)
- You can check that your config file fits the schema, by running `yarn validate-config`
- After modifying your config, the app needs to be recompiled, by running `yarn build` - this happens automatically whilst the app is running if you're using Docker
- It is recommended to make and keep a backup of your config file. You can download your current config through the UI either from the Config menu, or using the `/download` endpoint. Alternatively, you can use the [Cloud Backup](/docs/backup-restore) feature.
- The config can also be modified directly through the UI, validated and written to the conf.yml file.
- All fields are optional, unless otherwise stated.

**[⬆️ Back to Top](#)**
### `appConfig` _(optional)_
**Field** | **Type** | **Required**| **Description**
--- | --- | --- | ---
**`language`** | `string` | _Optional_ | The 2 (or 4-digit) [ISO 639-1 code](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes) for your language, e.g. `en` or `en-GB`. This must be a language that the app has already been [translated](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/tree/master/src/assets/locales) into. If your language is unavailable, Dashy will fallback to English. By default Dashy will attempt to auto-detect your language, although this may not work on some privacy browsers.
**`startingView`** | `enum` | _Optional_ | Which page to load by default, and on the base page or domain root. You can still switch to different views from within the UI. Can be either `default`, `minimal` or `workspace`. Defaults to `default`
**`defaultOpeningMethod`** | `enum` | _Optional_ | The default opening method for items, if no `target` is specified for a given item. Can be either `newtab`, `sametab`, `modal`, `workspace`, `clipboard`, `top` or `parent`. Defaults to `newtab`
**`statusCheck`** | `boolean` | _Optional_ | When set to `true`, Dashy will ping each of your services and display their status as a dot next to each item. This can be overridden by setting `statusCheck` under each item. Defaults to `false`
**`statusCheckInterval`** | `boolean` | _Optional_ | The number of seconds between checks. If set to `0` then service will only be checked on initial page load, which is usually the desired functionality. If value is less than `10` you may experience a hit in performance. Defaults to `0`
**`webSearch`** | `object` | _Optional_ | Configuration options for the web search feature, set your default search engine, opening method or disable web search. See [`webSearch`](#appconfigwebsearch-optional)
**`backgroundImg`** | `string` | _Optional_ | Path to an optional full-screen app background image. This can be either remote (http) or local (/). Note that this will slow down initial load
**`enableFontAwesome`** | `boolean` | _Optional_ | Where `true` is enabled, if left blank font-awesome will be enabled only if required by 1 or more icons
**`fontAwesomeKey`** | `string` | _Optional_ | If you have a font-awesome key, then you can use it here and make use of premium icons. It is a 10-digit alpha-numeric string from you're FA kit URL (e.g. `13014ae648`)
**`faviconApi`** | `enum` | _Optional_ | Only applicable if you are using favicons for item icons. Specifies which service to use to resolve favicons. Set to `local` to do this locally, without using an API. Services running locally will use this option always. Available options are: `local`, `faviconkit`, `iconhorse`, `google`, `clearbit`, `webmasterapi` and `allesedv`. Defaults to `faviconkit`. See [Icons](/docs/icons#favicons) for more info
**`auth`** | `object` | _Optional_ | All settings relating to user authentication. See [`auth`](#appconfigauth-optional)
**`layout`** | `enum` | _Optional_ | Layout for homepage, either `horizontal`, `vertical` or `auto`. Defaults to `auto`. This specifies the layout and direction of how sections are positioned on the home screen. This can also be modified and overridden from the UI.
**`iconSize`** | `enum` | _Optional_ | The size of link items / icons. Can be either `small`, `medium,` or `large`. Defaults to `medium`. This can also be set directly from the UI.
**`colCount`** | `number` | _Optional_ | The number of columns of sections displayed on the homepage, using the default view. Should be in integer between `1` and `8`. Note that by default this is applied responsively, based on current screen size, and specifying a value here will override this behavior, which may not be desirable.
**`theme`** | `string` | _Optional_ | The default theme for first load (you can change this later from the UI)
**`cssThemes`** | `string[]` | _Optional_ | An array of custom theme names which can be used in the theme switcher dropdown
**`customColors`** | `object`| _Optional_ | Enables you to apply a custom color palette to any given theme. Use the theme name (lowercase) as the key, for an object including key-value-pairs, with the color variable name as keys, and 6-digit hex code as value. See [Theming](/docs/theming#modifying-theme-colors) for more info
**`externalStyleSheet`** | `string` or `string[]` | _Optional_ | Either a URL to an external stylesheet or an array or URLs, which can be applied as themes within the UI
**`customCss`** | `string` | _Optional_ | Raw CSS that will be applied to the page. This can also be set from the UI. Please minify it first.
**`hideComponents`** | `object` | _Optional_ | A list of key page components (header, footer, search, settings, etc) that are present by default, but can be removed using this option. See [`appConfig.hideComponents`](#appconfighideComponents-optional)
**`routingMode`** | `string` | _Optional_ | Can be either `hash` or `history`. Determines the URL format for sub-pages, hash mode will look like `/#/home` whereas with history mode available you have nice clean URLs, like `/home`. For more info, see the [Vue docs](https://router.vuejs.org/guide/essentials/history-mode.html#example-server-configurations). If you're hosting Dashy with a custom BASE_URL, you will find that a bit of extra server config is necessary to get history mode working, so here you may want to instead use `hash` mode.Defaults to `history`.
**`enableMultiTasking`** | `boolean` | _Optional_ | If set to true, will keep apps open in the background when in the workspace view. Useful for quickly switching between multiple sites, and preserving their state, but comes at the cost of performance.
**`workspaceLandingUrl`** | `string` | _Optional_ | The URL or an app, service or website to launch when the workspace view is opened, before another service has been launched
**`allowConfigEdit`** | `boolean` | _Optional_ | Should prevent / allow the user to write configuration changes to the conf.yml from the UI. When set to `false`, the user can only apply changes locally using the config editor within the app, whereas if set to `true` then changes can be written to disk directly through the UI. Defaults to `true`. Note that if authentication is enabled, the user must be of type `admin` in order to apply changes globally.
**`showSplashScreen`** | `boolean` | _Optional_ | If set to `true`, a loading screen will be shown. Defaults to `false`.
**`enableErrorReporting`** | `boolean` | _Optional_ | Enable reporting of unexpected errors and crashes. This is off by default, and **no data will ever be captured unless you explicitly enable it**. Turning on error reporting helps previously unknown bugs get discovered and fixed. Dashy uses [Sentry](https://github.com/getsentry/sentry) for error reporting. Defaults to `false`.
**`sentryDsn`** | `boolean` | _Optional_ | If you need to monitor errors in your instance, then you can use Sentry to collect and process bug reports. Sentry can be self-hosted, or used as SaaS, once your instance is setup, then all you need to do is pass in the DSN here, and enable error reporting. You can learn more on the [Sentry DSN Docs](https://docs.sentry.io/product/sentry-basics/dsn-explainer/). Note that this will only ever be used if `enableErrorReporting` is explicitly enabled.
**`disableSmartSort`** | `boolean` | _Optional_ | For the most-used and last-used app sort functions to work, a basic open-count is stored in local storage. If you do not want this to happen, then disable smart sort here, but you wil no longer be able to use these sort options. Defaults to `false`.
**`disableUpdateChecks`** | `boolean` | _Optional_ | If set to true, Dashy will not check for updates. Defaults to `false`.
**`enableServiceWorker`** | `boolean` | _Optional_ | Service workers cache web applications to improve load times and offer basic offline functionality, and are enabled by default in Dashy. The service worker can sometimes cause older content to be cached, requiring the app to be hard-refreshed. If you do not want SW functionality, or are having issues with caching, set this property to `true` to disable all service workers.
**`disableContextMenu`** | `boolean` | _Optional_ | If set to `true`, the custom right-click context menu will be disabled. Defaults to `false`.
**[⬆️ Back to Top](#)**
### `appConfig.auth` _(optional)_
**Field** | **Type** | **Required**| **Description**
--- | --- | --- | ---
**`users`** | `array` | _Optional_ | An array of objects containing usernames and hashed passwords. If this is not provided, then authentication will be off by default, and you will not need any credentials to access the app. See [`appConfig.auth.users`](#appconfigauthusers-optional). <br />**Note** this method of authentication is handled on the client side, so for security critical situations, it is recommended to use an [alternate authentication method](/docs/authentication#alternative-authentication-methods).
**`enableKeycloak`** | `boolean` | _Optional_ | If set to `true`, then authentication using Keycloak will be anabled. Note that you need to have an instance running, and have also configured `auth.keycloak`. Defaults to `false`
**`keycloak`** | `object` | _Optional_ | Config options to point Dashy to your Keycloak server. Requires `enableKeycloak: true`. See [`auth.keycloak`](#appconfigauthkeycloak-optional) for more info
**`enableGuestAccess`** | `boolean` | _Optional_ | When set to `true`, an unauthenticated user will be able to access the dashboard, with read-only access, without having to login. Requires `auth.users` to be configured. Defaults to `false`.

## Notes
### Editing Config through the UI
Config can be modified directly through the UI, and then written to disk, or applied locally. This can be done wither with the raw config editor (introduced in V 0.6.5 / [#3](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/pull/3)), or the interactive editor (introduced in V 1.8.9 / [#298](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/pull/298)).

### About YAML
If you're new to YAML, it's pretty straight-forward. The format is exactly the same as that of JSON, but instead of using curly braces, structure is denoted using whitespace. This [quick guide](https://linuxhandbook.com/yaml-basics/) should get you up to speed in a few minutes, for more advanced topics take a look at this [Wikipedia article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YAML).
### Config Saving Methods
When updating the config through the JSON editor in the UI, you have two save options: **Local** or **Write to Disk**.
- Changes saved locally will only be applied to the current user through the browser, and will not apply to other instances - you either need to use the cloud sync feature, or manually update the conf.yml file.
- On the other-hand, if you choose to write changes to disk, then your main `conf.yml` file will be updated, and changes will be applied to all users, and visible across all devices. For this functionality to work, you must be running Dashy with using the Docker container, or the Node server. A backup of your current configuration will also be saved in the same directory.
### Preventing Changes being Written to Disk
To disallow any changes from being written to disk via the UI config editor, set `appConfig.allowConfigEdit: false`. If you are using users, and have setup `auth` within Dashy, then only users with `type: admin` will be able to write config changes to disk.
### Example

# Contributing
First off, thank you for considering contributing towards Dashy! 🙌
There are several ways that you can help out (but don't feel you have to).
Any contributions, however small will always be very much appreciated, and you will be appropriately credited in the readme - huge thank you to [everyone who has helped](/docs/credits) so far 💞
## Submit a PR
Contributing to the code or documentation is super helpful. You can fix a bug, add a new feature or improve an existing one. I've written [several guides](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/blob/master/docs/development-guides) to help you get started. For setting up the development environment, outline of the standards, and understanding the PR flow, see the [Development Docs](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/blob/master/docs/development). I've tried to keep the code neat and documentation thorough, so understanding what everything does should be fairly straight forward, but feel free to ask if you have any questions.
## Add Translations
If you speak another language, then adding translations would be really helpful, and you will be credited in the readme for your work. Multi-language support makes Dashy accessible for non-English speakers, which I feel is important. This is a very quick and easy task, as all application text is located in [`locales/en.json`](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/blob/master/src/assets/locales/en.json), so adding a new language is as simple as copying this file and translating the values. You don't have to translate it all, as any missing attributes will just fallback to English. For a full tutorial, see the [Multi-Language Support Docs](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/blob/master/docs/multi-language-support).

Sponsoring will give you several perks - for $1 / £0.75 per month, you'll get a sponsor badge on your profile, be credited on the Dashy's readme, with a link to your website/ profile/ socials, get priority support, have your feature ideas implemented, plus lots more. For more info, see [@Lissy93's Sponsor Page](https://github.com/sponsors/Lissy93).
## Enable Anonymous Bug Reports
Bug reports helps me to discover bugs I was unaware of, and then fix them, in order to make Dashy more reliable long term. This is a simple, yet really helpful step you can take to help improve Dashy. [Sentry](https://github.com/getsentry/sentry) is an open source error tracking and performance monitoring tool, which enables the identification any errors which occur in the production app (only if you enable it).
To enable error reporting:
```yaml
appConfig:
enableErrorReporting: true
```
All reporting is **disabled** by default, and no data will ever be sent to any external endpoint without your explicit consent. All statistics are anonomized and stored securely. For more about privacy and security, see the [Sentry Security Docs](https://sentry.io/security/).
## Add Translations
If you speak another language, then adding translations will help make Dashy available to non-native English speakers. This is a very quick and easy task, as all application text is located in [`locales/en.json`](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/blob/master/src/assets/locales/en.json), so adding a new language is as simple as copying this file and translating the values. You don't have to translate it all, as any missing attributes will just fallback to English. For a full tutorial, see the [Multi-Language Support Docs](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/blob/master/docs/multi-language-support).
## Submit a PR
Contributing to the code or docs is super helpful. You can fix a bug, add a new feature or improve an existing one. If you've built your own custom widget, theme or view, consider sharing it in a PR. I've written [several guides](/docs/development-guides) to help you get started, and the steps for setting up the development environment are outlined in the [Development Docs](/docs/development). Feel free to ask if you have any questions.
## Improve the Docs
Found a typo, or something that isn't as clear as it could be? Maybe I've missed something off altogether, or you hit a roadblock that took you a while to figure out. Submitting a pull request to add to or improve the documentation will help future users get Dashy up and running more easily.
All content is located either in the [`./README.md`](/README) or [`/docs/`](/docs) directory, and synced to the Wiki and website using a GH [action](/actions/workflows/wiki-sync.yml).
## Raise a bug
If you've found a bug, then please do raise it as an issue. This will help me know if there's something that needs fixing. Try and include as much detail as possible, such as your environment, steps to reproduce, any console output and maybe an example screenshot or recording if necessary.

## Request a feature via BountySource
BountySource is a platform for sponsoring the development of certain features on open source projects. If there is a feature you'd like implemented into Dashy, but either isn't high enough priority or is deemed to be more work than it's worth, then you can instead contribute a bounty towards it's development. You won't pay a penny until your proposal is fully built, and you are satisfied with the result. This helps support the developers, and makes Dashy better for everyone.

## Using Docker Compose
Using Docker Compose can be useful for saving your specific config in files, without having to type out a long run command each time. Save compose config as a YAML file, and then run `docker compose up -d` (optionally use the `-f` flag to specify file location, if it isn't located at `./docker-compose.yml`), `-d` is detached mode (not running in the foreground of your terminal). Compose is also useful if you are using clusters, as the format is very similar to stack files, used with Docker Swarm.

### Deploy to cloud service
If you don't have a home server, then fear not - Dashy can be deployed to pretty much any cloud provider. The above Docker and NPM guides will work exactly the same on a VPS, but I've also setup some 1-Click deploy links for 10+ of the most common cloud providers, to make things easier. Note that if your instance is exposed to the internet, it will be your responsibility to adequately secure it.

### Hosting with CDN
## Hosting with CDN
Once Dashy has been built, it is effectivley just a static web app. This means that it can be served up with pretty much any static host, CDN or web server. To host Dashy through a CDN, the steps are very similar to building from source: clone the project, cd into it, install dependencies, write your config file and build the app. Once build is complete you will have a `./dist` directory within Dashy's root, and this is the build application which is ready to be served up.
However without Dashy's node server, there are a couple of features that will be unavailible to you, including: Writing config changes to disk through the UI, triggering a rebuild through the UI and application status checks. Everything else will work fine.

# Development Guides
A series of short tutorials, to guide you through the most common development tasks.
Sections:
- [Creating a new theme](#creating-a-new-theme)
- [Writing Translations](#writing-translations)
- [Adding a new option in the config file](#adding-a-new-option-in-the-config-file)
- [Updating Dependencies](#updating-dependencies)
## Creating a new theme
Adding a new theme is really easy. There's two things you need to do: Pass the theme name to Dashy, so that it can be added to the theme selector dropdown menu, and then write some styles!
##### 1. Add Theme Name
Choose a snappy name for you're theme, and add it to the `builtInThemes` array inside [`defaults.js`](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/blob/master/src/utils/defaults.js#L27).
##### 2. Write some Styles!
Put your theme's styles inside [`color-themes.scss`](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/blob/master/src/styles/color-themes.scss).
Create a new block, and make sure that `data-theme` matches the theme name you chose above. For example:
```css
html[data-theme='tiger'] {
--primary: #f58233;
--background: #0b1021;
}
```
Then you can go ahead and write you're own custom CSS. Although all CSS is supported here, the best way to define you're theme is by setting the CSS variables. You can find a [list of all CSS variables, here](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/blob/master/docs/theming#css-variables).
For a full guide on styling, see [Theming Docs](./theming).
Note that if you're theme is just for yourself, and you're not submitting a PR, then you can instead just pass it under `appConfig.cssThemes` inside your config file. And then put your theme in your own stylesheet, and pass it into the Docker container - [see how](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/blob/master/docs/theming#adding-your-own-theme).
## Writing Translations
For full docs about Dashy's multi-language support, see [Multi-Language Support](./multi-language-support)
Dashy is using [vue-i18n](https://vue-i18n.intlify.dev/guide/) to manage multi-language support.
Adding a new language is pretty straightforward, with just three steps:
##### 1. Create a new Language File
Create a new JSON file in `./src/assets/locales` name is a 2-digit [ISO-639 code](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes) for your language, E.g. for German `de.json`, French `fr.json` or Spanish `es.json` - You can find a list of all ISO codes at [iso.org](https://www.iso.org/obp/ui).
##### 2. Translate!
Using [`en.json`](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/tree/master/src/assets/locales/en.json) as an example, translate the JSON values to your language, while leaving the keys as they are. It's fine to leave out certain items, as if they're missing they will fall-back to English. If you see any attribute which include curly braces (`{xxx}`), then leave the inner value of these braces as is, as this is for variables.
```json
{
"theme-maker": {
"export-button": "Benutzerdefinierte Variablen exportieren",
"reset-button": "Stile zurücksetzen für",
"show-all-button": "Alle Variablen anzeigen",
"save-button": "Speichern",
"cancel-button": "Abbrechen",
"saved-toast": "{theme} Erfolgreich aktualisiert",
"reset-toast": "Benutzerdefinierte Farben für {theme} entfernt"
},
}
```
##### 3. Add your file to the app
In [`./src/utils/languages.js`](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/tree/master/src/utils/languages.js), you need to do 2 small things:
First import your new translation file, do this at the top of the page.
E.g. `import de from '@/assets/locales/de.json';`
Second, add it to the array of languages, e.g:
```javascript
export const languages = [
{
name: 'English',
code: 'en',
locale: en,
flag: '🇬🇧',
},
{
name: 'German', // The name of your language
code: 'de', // The ISO code of your language
locale: de, // The name of the file you imported (no quotes)
flag: '🇩🇪', // An optional flag emoji
},
];
```
You can also add your new language to the readme, under the [Language Switching](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy#language-switching-) section, and optionally include your name/ username if you'd like to be credited for your work. Done!
If you are not comfortable with making pull requests, or do not want to modify the code, then feel free to instead send the translated file to me, and I can add it into the application. I will be sure to credit you appropriately.
# Adding a new option in the config file
This section is for, if you're adding a new component or setting, that requires an additional item to be added to the users config file.
All of the users config is specified in `./public/conf.yml` - see [Configuring Docs](./configuring) for info.
Before adding a new option in the config file, first ensure that there is nothing similar available, that is is definitely necessary, it will not conflict with any other options and most importantly that it will not cause any breaking changes. Ensure that you choose an appropriate and relevant section to place it under.
Next decide the most appropriate place for your attribute:
- Application settings should be located under `appConfig`
- Page info (such as text and metadata) should be under `pageInfo`
- Data relating to specific sections should be under `section[n].displayData`
- And for setting applied to specific items, it should be under `item[n]`
In order for the user to be able to add your new attribute using the Config Editor, and for the build validation to pass, your attribute must be included within the [ConfigSchema](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/blob/master/src/utils/ConfigSchema.js). You can read about how to do this on the [ajv docs](https://ajv.js.org/json-schema.html). Give your property a type and a description, as well as any other optional fields that you feel are relevant. For example:
```json
"fontAwesomeKey": {
"type": "string",
"pattern": "^[a-z0-9]{10}$",
"description": "API key for font-awesome",
"example": "0821c65656"
}
```
or
```json
"iconSize": {
"enum": [ "small", "medium", "large" ],
"default": "medium",
"description": "The size of each link item / icon"
}
```
Next, if you're property should have a default value, then add it to [`defaults.js`](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/blob/master/src/utils/defaults.js). This ensures that nothing will break if the user does not use your property, and having all defaults together keeps things organised and easy to manage.
If your property needs additional logic for fetching, setting or processing, then you can add a helper function within [`ConfigHelpers.js`](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/blob/master/src/utils/ConfigHelpers.js).
Finally, add your new property to the [`configuring`](./configuring) API docs. Put it under the relevant section, and be sure to include field name, data type, a description and mention that it is optional. If your new feature needs more explaining, then you can also document it under the relevant section elsewhere in the documentation.
Checklist:
- [ ] Ensure the new attribute is actually necessary, and nothing similar already exists
- [ ] Update the [Schema](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/blob/master/src/utils/ConfigSchema.js) with the parameters for your new option
- [ ] Set a default value (if required) within [`defaults.js`](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/blob/master/src/utils/defaults.js)
- [ ] Document the new value in [`configuring`](./configuring)
- [ ] Test that the reading of the new attribute is properly handled, and will not cause any errors when it is missing or populated with an unexpected value

## Updating Dependencies
Running `yarn upgrade` will updated all dependencies based on the ranges specified in the `package.json`. The `yarn.lock` file will be updated, as will the contents of `./node_modules`, for more info, see the [yarn upgrade documentation](https://classic.yarnpkg.com/en/docs/cli/upgrade/). It is important to thoroughly test after any big dependency updates.

## Developing Netlify Cloud Functions
When Dashy is deployed to Netlify, it is effectively running as a static app, and therefore the server-side code for the Node.js endpoints is not available. However Netlify now supports serverless cloud lambda functions, which can be used to replace most functionality.
#### 1. Run Netlify Dev Server
First off, install the Netlify CLI: `npm install netlify-cli -g`
Then, from within the root of Dashy's directory, start the server, by running: `netlify dev`
#### 2. Create a lambda function
This should be saved it in the [`./services/serverless-functions`](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/tree/master/services/serverless-functions) directory
```javascript
exports.handler = async () => ({
statusCode: 200,
body: 'Return some data here...',
});
```
#### 3. Redirect the Node endpoint to the function
In the [`netlify.toml`](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/blob/FEATURE/serverless-functions/netlify.toml) file, add a 301 redirect, with the path to the original Node.js endpoint, and the name of your cloud function
```toml
[[redirects]]
from = "/status-check"
to = "/.netlify/functions/cloud-status-check"
status = 301
force = true
```

## Hiding Page Furniture on Certain Routes
For some pages (such as the login page, the minimal start page, etc) the basic page furniture, (like header, footer, nav, etc) is not needed. This section explains how you can hide furniture on a new view (step 1), or add a component that should be hidden on certain views (step 2).
##### 1. Add the route name to the should hide array
In [`./src/utils/defaults.js`](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/blob/master/src/utils/defaults.js), there's an array called `hideFurnitureOn`. Append the name of the route (the same as it appears in [`router.js`](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/blob/master/src/router.js)) here.
##### 2. Add the conditional to the structural component to hide
First, import the helper function:
```javascript
import { shouldBeVisible } from '@/utils/MiscHelpers';
```
Then you can create a computed value, that calls this function, passing in the route name:
```javascript
export default {
...
computed: {
...
isVisible() {
return shouldBeVisible(this.$route.name);
},
},
};
```
Finally, in the markup of your component, just add a `v-if` statement, referencing your computed value
```vue
<header v-if="isVisible">
...
</header>
```
---
## Adding / Using Environmental Variables
All environmental variables are optional. Currently there are not many environmental variables used, as most of the user preferences are stored under `appConfig` in the `conf.yml` file.
You can set variables either in your environment, or using the [`.env`](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/blob/master/.env) file.
Any environmental variables used by the frontend are preceded with `VUE_APP_`. Vue will merge the contents of your `.env` file into the app in a similar way to the ['dotenv'](https://github.com/motdotla/dotenv) package, where any variables that you set on your system will always take preference over the contents of any `.env` file.
If add any new variables, ensure that there is always a fallback (define it in [`defaults.js`](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/blob/master/src/utils/defaults.js)), so as to not cause breaking changes. Don't commit the contents of your `.env` file to git, but instead take a few moments to document what you've added under the appropriate section. Try and follow the concepts outlined in the [12 factor app](https://12factor.net/config).

## Creating a new theme
Adding a new theme is really easy. There's two things you need to do: Pass the theme name to Dashy, so that it can be added to the theme selector dropdown menu, and then write some styles!
##### 1. Add Theme Name
Choose a snappy name for you're theme, and add it to the `builtInThemes` array inside [`defaults.js`](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/blob/master/src/utils/defaults.js#L27).
##### 2. Write some Styles!
Put your theme's styles inside [`color-themes.scss`](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/blob/master/src/styles/color-themes.scss).
Create a new block, and make sure that `data-theme` matches the theme name you chose above. For example:
```css
html[data-theme='tiger'] {
--primary: #f58233;
--background: #0b1021;
}
```
Then you can go ahead and write you're own custom CSS. Although all CSS is supported here, the best way to define you're theme is by setting the CSS variables. You can find a [list of all CSS variables, here](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/blob/master/docs/theming.md#css-variables).
For a full guide on styling, see [Theming Docs](./theming).
Note that if you're theme is just for yourself, and you're not submitting a PR, then you can instead just pass it under `appConfig.cssThemes` inside your config file. And then put your theme in your own stylesheet, and pass it into the Docker container - [see how](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/blob/master/docs/theming.md#adding-your-own-theme).
## Writing Translations
For full docs about Dashy's multi-language support, see [Multi-Language Support](./multi-language-support)
Dashy is using [vue-i18n](https://vue-i18n.intlify.dev/guide/) to manage multi-language support.
Adding a new language is pretty straightforward, with just three steps:
##### 1. Create a new Language File
Create a new JSON file in `./src/assets/locales` name is a 2-digit [ISO-639 code](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes) for your language, E.g. for German `de.json`, French `fr.json` or Spanish `es.json` - You can find a list of all ISO codes at [iso.org](https://www.iso.org/obp/ui).
##### 2. Translate!
Using [`en.json`](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/tree/master/src/assets/locales/en.json) as an example, translate the JSON values to your language, while leaving the keys as they are. It's fine to leave out certain items, as if they're missing they will fall-back to English. If you see any attribute which include curly braces (`{xxx}`), then leave the inner value of these braces as is, as this is for variables.
```json
{
"theme-maker": {
"export-button": "Benutzerdefinierte Variablen exportieren",
"reset-button": "Stile zurücksetzen für",
"show-all-button": "Alle Variablen anzeigen",
"save-button": "Speichern",
"cancel-button": "Abbrechen",
"saved-toast": "{theme} Erfolgreich aktualisiert",
"reset-toast": "Benutzerdefinierte Farben für {theme} entfernt"
},
}
```
##### 3. Add your file to the app
In [`./src/utils/languages.js`](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/tree/master/src/utils/languages.js), you need to do 2 small things:
First import your new translation file, do this at the top of the page.
E.g. `import de from '@/assets/locales/de.json';`
Second, add it to the array of languages, e.g:
```javascript
export const languages = [
{
name: 'English',
code: 'en',
locale: en,
flag: '🇬🇧',
},
{
name: 'German', // The name of your language
code: 'de', // The ISO code of your language
locale: de, // The name of the file you imported (no quotes)
flag: '🇩🇪', // An optional flag emoji
},
];
```
You can also add your new language to the readme, under the [Language Switching](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy#language-switching-) section, and optionally include your name/ username if you'd like to be credited for your work. Done!
If you are not comfortable with making pull requests, or do not want to modify the code, then feel free to instead send the translated file to me, and I can add it into the application. I will be sure to credit you appropriately.
# Adding a new option in the config file
This section is for, if you're adding a new component or setting, that requires an additional item to be added to the users config file.
All of the users config is specified in `./public/conf.yml` - see [Configuring Docs](./configuring) for info.
Before adding a new option in the config file, first ensure that there is nothing similar available, that is is definitely necessary, it will not conflict with any other options and most importantly that it will not cause any breaking changes. Ensure that you choose an appropriate and relevant section to place it under.
Next decide the most appropriate place for your attribute:
- Application settings should be located under `appConfig`
- Page info (such as text and metadata) should be under `pageInfo`
- Data relating to specific sections should be under `section[n].displayData`
- And for setting applied to specific items, it should be under `item[n]`
In order for the user to be able to add your new attribute using the Config Editor, and for the build validation to pass, your attribute must be included within the [ConfigSchema](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/blob/master/src/utils/ConfigSchema.js). You can read about how to do this on the [ajv docs](https://ajv.js.org/json-schema.html). Give your property a type and a description, as well as any other optional fields that you feel are relevant. For example:
```json
"fontAwesomeKey": {
"type": "string",
"pattern": "^[a-z0-9]{10}$",
"description": "API key for font-awesome",
"example": "0821c65656"
}
```
or
```json
"iconSize": {
"enum": [ "small", "medium", "large" ],
"default": "medium",
"description": "The size of each link item / icon"
}
```
Next, if you're property should have a default value, then add it to [`defaults.js`](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/blob/master/src/utils/defaults.js). This ensures that nothing will break if the user does not use your property, and having all defaults together keeps things organised and easy to manage.
If your property needs additional logic for fetching, setting or processing, then you can add a helper function within [`ConfigHelpers.js`](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/blob/master/src/utils/ConfigHelpers.js).
Finally, add your new property to the [`configuring.md`](./configuring) API docs. Put it under the relevant section, and be sure to include field name, data type, a description and mention that it is optional. If your new feature needs more explaining, then you can also document it under the relevant section elsewhere in the documentation.
Checklist:
- [ ] Ensure the new attribute is actually necessary, and nothing similar already exists
- [ ] Update the [Schema](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/blob/master/src/utils/ConfigSchema.js) with the parameters for your new option
- [ ] Set a default value (if required) within [`defaults.js`](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/blob/master/src/utils/defaults.js)
- [ ] Document the new value in [`configuring.md`](./configuring)
- [ ] Test that the reading of the new attribute is properly handled, and will not cause any errors when it is missing or populated with an unexpected value

});
```
#### 3. Redirect the Node endpoint to the function
In the [`netlify.toml`](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/blob/FEATURE/serverless-functions/netlify.toml) file, add a 301 redirect, with the path to the original Node.js endpoint, and the name of your cloud function
```toml
[[redirects]]
from = "/status-check"
to = "/.netlify/functions/cloud-status-check"
status = 301

## Building a Widget
### Step 0 - Prerequisites
If this is your first time working on Dashy, then the [Developing Docs](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/blob/master/docs/developing.md) instructions for project setup and running. In short, you just need to clone the project, cd into it, install dependencies (`yarn`) and then start the development server (`yarn dev`).
To build a widget, you'll also need some basic knowledge of Vue.js. The [official Vue docs](https://vuejs.org/v2/guide/) provides a good starting point, as does [this guide](https://www.taniarascia.com/getting-started-with-vue/) by Tania Rascia
If you just want to jump straight in, then [here](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/commit/3da76ce2999f57f76a97454c0276301e39957b8e) is a complete implementation of a new example widget, or take a look at the [`XkcdComic.vue`](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/blob/master/src/components/Widgets/XkcdComic.vue) widget, which is pretty simple.
### Step 1 - Create Widget
Firstly, create a new `.vue` file under [`./src/components/Widgets`](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/tree/master/src/components/Widgets).
```vue
<template>
<div class="example-wrapper">
</div>
</template>
<script>
import axios from 'axios';
import WidgetMixin from '@/mixins/WidgetMixin';
import { widgetApiEndpoints } from '@/utils/defaults';
export default {
mixins: [WidgetMixin],
data() {
return {
results: null,
};
},
computed: {
endpoint() {
return `${widgetApiEndpoints.myApi}/something`;
},
},
methods: {
fetchData() {
this.makeRequest(this.endpoint).then(this.processData);
},
processData(data) {
// Do processing any here, and set component data
this.results = data;
},
},
};
</script>
<style scoped lang="scss">
</style>
```
All widgets extend from the [Widget](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/blob/master/src/mixins/WidgetMixin.js) mixin. This provides some basic functionality that is shared by all widgets. The mixin includes the following `options`, `startLoading()`, `finishLoading()`, `error()` and `update()`.
- **Getting user options: `options`**
- Any user-specific config can be accessed with `this.options.something` (where something is the data key your accessing)
- **Loading state: `startLoading()` and `finishLoading()`**
- You can show the loader with `this.startLoading()`, then when your data request completes, hide it again with `this.finishLoading()`
- **Error handling: `error()`**
- If something goes wrong (such as API error, or missing user parameters), then call `this.error()` to show message to user
- **Updating data: `update()`**
- When the user clicks the update button, or if continuous updates are enabled, then the `update()` method within your widget will be called
### Step 2 - Adding Functionality
**Accessing User Options**
If your widget is going to accept any parameters from the user, then we can access these with `this.options.[parmName]`. It's best to put these as computed properties, which will enable us to check it exists, is valid, and if needed format it. For example, if we have an optional property called `count` (to determine number of results), we can do the following, and then reference it within our component with `this.count`
```javascript
computed: {
count() {
if (!this.options.count) {
return 5;
}
return this.options.count;
},
...
},
```
**Adding an API Endpoint**
If your widget makes a data request, then add the URL for the API under point to the `widgetApiEndpoints` array in [`defaults.js`](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/blob/master/src/utils/defaults.js#L207)
```javascript
widgetApiEndpoints: {
...
exampleEndpoint: 'https://hub.dummyapis.com/ImagesList',
},
```
Then in your widget file:
```javascript
import { widgetApiEndpoints } from '@/utils/defaults';
```
For GET requests, you may need to add some parameters onto the end of the URL. We can use another computed property for this, for example:
```javascript
endpoint() {
return `${widgetApiEndpoints.exampleEndpoint}?count=${this.count}`;
},
```
**Making an API Request**
Axios is used for making data requests, so import it into your component: `import axios from 'axios';`
Under the `methods` block, we'll create a function called `fetchData`, here we can use Axios to make a call to our endpoint.
```javascript
fetchData() {
this.makeRequest(this.endpoint, this.headers).then(this.processData);
},
```
There are three things happening here:
- If the response completes successfully, we'll pass the results to another function that will handle them
- If there's an error, then we call `this.error()`, which will show a message to the user
- Whatever the result, once the request has completed, we call `this.finishLoading()`, which will hide the loader
**Processing Response**
In the above example, we call the `processData()` method with the result from the API, so we need to create that under the `methods` section. How you handle this data will vary depending on what's returned by the API, and what you want to render to the user. But however you do it, you will likely need to create a data variable to store the response, so that it can be easily displayed in the HTML.
```javascript
data() {
return {
myResults: null,
};
},
```
And then, inside your `processData()` method, you can set the value of this, with:
```javascript
`this.myResults = 'whatever'`
```
**Rendering Response**
Now that the results are in the correct format, and stored as data variables, we can use them within the `<template>` to render results to the user. Again, how you do this will depend on the structure of your data, and what you want to display, but at it's simplest, it might look something like this:
```vue
<p class="results">{{ myResults }}</p>
```
**Styling**
Styles can be written your your widget within the `<style>` block.
There are several color variables used by widgets, which extend from the base pallete. Using these enables users to override colors to theme their dashboard, if they wish. The variables are: `--widget-text-color`, `--widget-background-color` and `--widget-accent-color`
```vue
<style scoped lang="scss">
p.results {
color: var(--widget-text-color);
}
</style>
```
For examples of finished widget components, see the [Widgets](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/tree/master/src/components/Widgets) directory. Specifically, the [`XkcdComic.vue`](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/blob/master/src/components/Widgets/XkcdComic.vue) widget is quite minimal, so would make a good example, as will [this example implementation](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/commit/3da76ce2999f57f76a97454c0276301e39957b8e).
### Step 3 - Register
Next, import and register your new widget, in [`WidgetBase.vue`](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/blob/master/src/components/Widgets/WidgetBase.vue). In this file, you'll need to add the following:
Import your widget file
```javascript
import ExampleWidget from '@/components/Widgets/ExampleWidget.vue';
```
Then register the component
```javascript
components: {
...
ExampleWidget,
},
```
Finally, add the markup to render it. The only attribute you need to change here is, setting `widgetType === 'example'` to your widget's name.
```vue
<ExampleWidget
v-else-if="widgetType === 'example'"
:options="widgetOptions"
@loading="setLoaderState"
@error="handleError"
:ref="widgetRef"
/>
```
### Step 4 - Docs
Finally, add some documentation for your widget in the [Widget Docs](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/blob/master/docs/widgets.md), so that others know hoe to use it. Include the following information: Title, short description, screenshot, config options and some example YAML.
**Summary**: For a complete example of everything discussed here, see: [`3da76ce`](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/commit/3da76ce2999f57f76a97454c0276301e39957b8e)

# Icons
Both sections and items can have an icon, which is specified using the `icon` attribute. Using icons improves the aesthetics of your UI and makes the app more intuitive to use. Dashy supports multiple different icon providers, usage instructions for which are explained here.
- [Auto-Fetched Favicons](#favicons)
- [Font Awesome Icons](#font-awesome)
- [Simple Icons](#simple-icons)
- [Generative Icons](#generative-icons)
- [Emoji Icons](#emoji-icons)
- [Home-Lab Icons](#home-lab-icons)
- [Material Icons](#material-design-icons)
- [Icons by URL](#icons-by-url)
- [Local Icons](#local-icons)
- [No Icon](#no-icon)

## Favicons
Dashy can auto-fetch an icon for a given service, using it's favicon. Just set `icon: favicon` to use this feature.
<p align="center">
<img width="580" src="https://i.ibb.co/k6wyhnB/favicon-icons.png" />
</p>
Since different websites host their favicons at different paths, for the best results Dashy can use an API to resolve a websites icon.
The default favicon API is [allesedv.com](https://favicon.allesedv.com/), but you can change this under `appConfig.faviconApi`. If you'd prefer not to use an API, just set this value to `local`. You can also use different APIs for individual items, by setting `icon: favicon-[api]`, e.g. `favicon-clearbit`.
The following favicon APIs are supported:
- `allesedv` - [allesedv.com](https://favicon.allesedv.com/) is a highly efficient IPv6-enabled service
- `clearbit` - [Clearbit](https://clearbit.com/logo) returns high-quality square logos from mainstream websites
- `faviconkit` - [faviconkit.com](https://faviconkit.com/) good quality icons and most sites supported (Note: down as of Nov '21)
- `besticon` - [BestIcon](https://github.com/mat/besticon) fetches websites icons from manifest
- `mcapi` - [MC-API](https://eu.mc-api.net/) fetches default website favicon, originally a Minecraft util
- `duckduckgo` - Returns decent quality website icons, from DuckDuckGo search
- `google` - Official Google favicon API service, good support for all sites, but poor quality
- `yandex` - Lower quality icons, but useful in some regions where other services are blocked
- `local` - Set to local to fetch the default icon at /favicon.ico instead of using an API
If for a given service none of the APIs work in your situation, and nor does local, then the best option is to find the path of the services logo or favicon, and set the icon to the URL of the raw image. For example, `icon: https://monitoring.local/faviconx128.png`- you can find this path using the browser dev tools.
---
## Font Awesome
You can use any [Font Awesome Icon](https://fontawesome.com/icons) simply by specifying it's identifier. This is in the format of `[category] [name]` and can be found on the page for that icon on the Font Awesome site. For example: `fas fa-rocket`, `fab fa-monero` or `fas fa-unicorn`.
Font-Awesome has a wide variety of free icons, but you can also use their pro icons if you have a membership. To do so, you need to specify your license key under: `appConfig.fontAwesomeKey`. This is usually a 10-digit string, for example `13014ae648`.

<img width="500" src="https://i.ibb.co/tMtwNYZ/fontawesome-icons3.png" />
</p>

## Simple Icons
[SimpleIcons.org](https://simpleicons.org/) is a collection of 2000+ high quality, free and open source brand and logo SVG icons. Usage of which is very similar to font-awesome icons. First find the glyph you want to use on the [website](https://simpleicons.org/), then just set your icon the the simple icon slug, prefixed with `si-`.
<p align="center">
<img width="580" src="https://i.ibb.co/MVhkXfC/simple-icons-example.png" />
</p>
For example:
```yaml
sections:
- name: Simple Icons Example
items:
- title: Portainer
icon: si-portainer
- title: FreeNAS
icon: si-freenas
- title: NextCloud
icon: si-nextcloud
- title: Home Assistant
icon: si-homeassistant
```
---
## Generative Icons
To uses a unique and programmatically generated icon for a given service just set `icon: generative`. This is particularly useful when you have a lot of similar services with a different IP or port, and no specific icon. These icons are generated with [DiceBear](https://avatars.dicebear.com/) (or [Evatar](https://evatar.io/) for fallback), and use a hash of the services domain/ ip for entropy, so each domain will have a unique icon.
<p align="center">
<img width="500" src="https://i.ibb.co/b2pC2CL/generative-icons-2.png" />
</p>
---
## Emoji Icons
You can use almost any emoji as an icon for items or sections. You can specify the emoji either by pasting it directly, using it's unicode ( e.g. `'U+1F680'`) or shortcode (e.g. `':rocket:'`). You can find these codes for any emoji using [Emojipedia](https://emojipedia.org/) (near the bottom of emoji each page), or for a quick reference to emoji shortcodes, check out [emojis.ninja](https://emojis.ninja/) by @nomanoff.
<p align="center">
<img width="580" src="https://i.ibb.co/YLwgTf9/emoji-icons-1.png" />
</p>
For example, these will all render the same rocket (🚀) emoji: `icon: ':rocket:'` or `icon: 'U+1F680'` or `icon: 🚀`
---
## Home-Lab Icons
The [dashboard-icons](https://github.com/WalkxCode/dashboard-icons) repo by [@WalkxCode](https://github.com/WalkxCode) provides a comprehensive collection of 360+ high-quality PNG icons for commonly self-hosted services. Dashy natively supports these icons, and you can use them just by specifying the icon name (without extension) preceded by `hl-`. See [here](https://github.com/WalkxCode/dashboard-icons/tree/master/png) for a full list of all available icons. Note that these are fetched and cached strait from GitHub, so if you require offline access, the [Local Icons](#local-icons) method may be a better option for you.
For example:
```yaml
sections:
- name: Home Lab Icons Example
items:
- title: AdGuard Home
icon: hl-adguardhome
- title: Long Horn
icon: hl-longhorn
- title: Nagios
icon: hl-nagios
- title: Whoogle Search
icon: hl-whooglesearch
```
<p align="center">
<img width="580" src="https://i.ibb.co/PQzYHmD/homelab-icons-2.png" />
</p>
---
## Material Design Icons
Dashy also supports 5000+ [material-design-icons](https://github.com/Templarian/MaterialDesign). To use these, first find the name/ slug for your icon [here](https://dev.materialdesignicons.com/icons), and then prefix is with `mdi-`.
For example:
```yaml
sections:
- name: Material Design Icons Example
items:
- title: Alien Icon
icon: mdi-alien
- title: Fire Icon
icon: mdi-fire
- title: Dino Icon
icon: mdi-google-downasaur
```
<p align="center">
<img width="500" src="https://i.ibb.co/fC9B4mq/icons-mdi-example.png" />
</p>
---
## Icons by URL
You can also set an icon by passing in a valid URL pointing to the icons location. For example `icon: https://i.ibb.co/710B3Yc/space-invader-x256.png`, this can be in .png, .jpg or .svg format, and hosted anywhere (local or remote) - so long as it's accessible from where you are hosting Dashy. The icon will be automatically scaled to fit, however loading in a lot of large icons may have a negative impact on performance, especially if you visit Dashy from new devices often.
---
## Local Icons
You may also want to store your icons locally, bundled within Dashy so that there is no reliance on outside services. This can be done by putting the icons within Dashy's `./public/item-icons/` directory. If you are using Docker, then the easiest option is to map a volume from your host system, for example: `-v /local/image/directory:/app/public/item-icons/`. To reference an icon stored locally, just specify it's name and extension. For example, if my icon was stored in `/app/public/item-icons/maltrail.png`, then I would just set `icon: maltrail.png`.
You can also use sub-folders within the `item-icons` directory to keep things organized. You would then specify an icon with it's folder name slash image name. For example: `networking/monit.png`
---
## No Icon
If you don't wish for a given item or section to have an icon, just leave out the `icon` attribute.
---
## Icon Collections and Resources
The following websites provide good-quality, free icon sets. To use any of these icons, either copy the link to the raw icon (it should end in `.svg` or `.png`) and paste it as your `icon`, or download and save the icons in `/public/item-icons` / mapped Docker volume. Full credit to the authors, please see the licenses for each service for usage and copyright information.
- [Icons for Self-Hosted Apps](https://thehomelab.wiki/books/helpful-tools-resources/page/icons-for-self-hosted-dashboards) - 350+ high-quality icons for commonly self-hosted services
- [SVG Box](https://svgbox.net/iconsets/) - Cryptocurrency, social media apps and flag icons
- [Simple Icons](https://simpleicons.org/) - Free SVG brand icons, with easy API access
- [Material Design Icons](https://github.com/google/material-design-icons/) - Hundreds of Open source PNG + SVG icons by Google

---
## Notes
If you are using icons from an external source, these will be fetched on initial page load automatically, if and when needed. But combining icons from multiple services may have a negative impact on performance.
You can improve load speeds, by downloading your required icons, and serving them locally. Scaling icons to the minimum required dimensions (e.g. 128x128 or 64x64) will also greatly improve application load times.
For icons from external sources, please see the Privacy Policies and Licenses for that provider.
# Icons
Both sections and items can have an icon, which is specified using the `icon` attribute. Using icons improves the aesthetics of your UI and makes the app more intuitive to use. Dashy supports multiple different icon providers, usage instructions for which are explained here.
- [Auto-Fetched Favicons](#favicons)
- [Font Awesome Icons](#font-awesome)
- [Simple Icons](#simple-icons)
- [Generative Icons](#generative-icons)
- [Emoji Icons](#emoji-icons)
- [Home-Lab Icons](#home-lab-icons)
- [Material Icons](#material-design-icons)
- [Icons by URL](#icons-by-url)
- [Local Icons](#local-icons)
- [No Icon](#no-icon)

<img width="500" src="https://i.ibb.co/GTVmZnc/dashy-example-icons.png" />
</p>
---
## Favicons
Dashy can auto-fetch an icon for a given service, using it's favicon. Just set `icon: favicon` to use this feature.
<p align="center">
<img width="580" src="https://i.ibb.co/k6wyhnB/favicon-icons.png" />
</p>
Since different websites host their favicons at different paths, for the best results Dashy can use an API to resolve a websites icon.
The default favicon API is [allesedv.com](https://favicon.allesedv.com/), but you can change this under `appConfig.faviconApi`. If you'd prefer not to use an API, just set this value to `local`. You can also use different APIs for individual items, by setting `icon: favicon-[api]`, e.g. `favicon-clearbit`.
The following favicon APIs are supported:
- `allesedv` - [allesedv.com](https://favicon.allesedv.com/) is a highly efficient IPv6-enabled service
- `iconhorse` - [Icon.Horse](https://icon.horse/) returns quality icons for any site, with caching for speed and fallbacks for sites without an icon
- `clearbit` - [Clearbit](https://clearbit.com/logo) returns high-quality square logos from mainstream websites
- `faviconkit` - [faviconkit.com](https://faviconkit.com/) good quality icons and most sites supported (Note: down as of Nov '21)
- `besticon` - [BestIcon](https://github.com/mat/besticon) fetches websites icons from manifest
- `mcapi` - [MC-API](https://eu.mc-api.net/) fetches default website favicon, originally a Minecraft util
- `duckduckgo` - Returns decent quality website icons, from DuckDuckGo search
- `google` - Official Google favicon API service, good support for all sites, but poor quality
- `yandex` - Lower quality icons, but useful in some regions where other services are blocked
- `local` - Set to local to fetch the default icon at /favicon.ico instead of using an API
If for a given service none of the APIs work in your situation, and nor does local, then the best option is to find the path of the services logo or favicon, and set the icon to the URL of the raw image. For example, `icon: https://monitoring.local/faviconx128.png`- you can find this path using the browser dev tools.
---
## Font Awesome
You can use any [Font Awesome Icon](https://fontawesome.com/icons) simply by specifying it's identifier. This is in the format of `[category] [name]` and can be found on the page for that icon on the Font Awesome site. For example: `fas fa-rocket`, `fab fa-monero` or `fas fa-unicorn`.
Font-Awesome has a wide variety of free icons, but you can also use their pro icons if you have a membership. To do so, you need to specify your license key under: `appConfig.fontAwesomeKey`. This is usually a 10-digit string, for example `13014ae648`.

icon: si-portainer
- title: FreeNAS
icon: si-freenas

## `Refused to Connect` in Modal or Workspace View
This is not an issue with Dashy, but instead caused by the target app preventing direct access through embedded elements. It can be fixed by setting the [`X-Frame-Options`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/X-Frame-Options) HTTP header set to `ALLOW [path to Dashy]` or `SAMEORIGIN`, as defined in [RFC-7034](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7034). These settings are usually set in the config file for the web server that's hosting the target application, here are some examples of how to enable cross-origin access with common web servers:

## 404 On Static Hosting
If you're seeing Dashy's 404 page on initial load/ refresh, and then the main app when you go back to Home, then this is likely caused by the Vue router, and if so can be fixed in one of two ways.
The first solution is to switch the routing mode, from HTML5 `history` mode to `hash` mode, by setting `appConfig.routingMode` to `hash`.
If this works, but you wish to continue using HTML5 history mode, then a bit of extra [server configuration](/docs/management#web-server-configuration) is required. This is explained in more detaail in the [Vue Docs](https://router.vuejs.org/guide/essentials/history-mode.html). Once completed, you can then use `routingMode: history` again, for neater URLs.

For further troubleshooting, use an application like [Postman](https://postman.com) to diagnose the issue. Set the parameter to `GET`, and then make a call to: `https://[url-of-dashy]/status-check/?&url=[service-url]`. Where the service URL must have first been encoded (e.g. with `encodeURIComponent()` or [urlencoder.io](https://www.urlencoder.io/))
If you're serving Dashy though a CDN, instead of using the Node server or Docker image, then the Node endpoint that makes requests will not be available to you, and all requests will fail. A workaround for this may be implemented in the future, but in the meantime, your only option is to use the Docker or Node deployment method.

## How-To Open Browser Console
When raising a bug, one crucial piece of info needed is the browser's console output. This will help the developer diagnose and fix the issue.
If you've been asked for this info, but are unsure where to find it, then it is under the "Console" tab, in the browsers developer tools, which can be opened with <kbd>F12</kbd>. You can right-click the console, and select Save As to download the log.
To open dev tools, and jump straight to the console:
- Win / Linux: <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>Shift</kbd> + <kbd>J</kbd>
- MacOS: <kbd>Cmd</kbd> + <kbd>Option</kbd> + <kbd>J</kbd>
For more detailed walk through, see [this article](https://support.shortpoint.com/support/solutions/articles/1000222881-save-browser-console-file).

## Git Contributions not Displaying
If you've contributed to Dashy (or any other project), but your contributions are not showing up on your GH profile, or in Dashy's [Credits Page](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/blob/master/docs/credits.md), then this is likely a git config issue.
These statistics are generated using the username / email associated with commits. This info needs to be setup on your local machine using [`git config`](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-config).
Run the following commands (replacing name + email with your info):
- `git config --global user.name "John Doe"`
- `git config --global user.email johndoe@example.com`
For more info, see [Git First Time Setup Docs](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-First-Time-Git-Setup).
Note that only contributions to the master / main branch or a project are counted
