> If you find a bug, please raise it.<br>
> Adding / editing widgets through the UI isn't yet supported, you will need to do this in the YAML config file.

### HTML Embedded Widget

Many websites and apps provide their own embeddable widgets. These can be used with Dashy using the Embed widget, which lets you dynamically embed and HTML, CSS or JavaScript contents.

⚠️ **NOTE:** Use with extreme caution. Embedding a script from an untrustworthy source may have serious unintended consequences.

<p align="center"><img width="400" src="https://i.ibb.co/fkwNnxT/embed-widget-2.png" /></p>

##### Options

**Field** | **Type** | **Required** | **Description**
--- | --- | --- | ---
**`html`** | `string` |  _Optional_ | HTML contents to render in the widget
**`script`** | `string` |  _Optional_ | Raw JavaScript code to execute (caution)
**`scriptSrc`** | `string` |  _Optional_ | A URL to JavaScript content (caution)
**`css`** | `string` |  _Optional_ | Any stylings for widget contents

##### Example 

```yaml
- type: embed
  options:
    scriptSrc: https://cdn.speedcheck.org/basic/scbjs.min.js
    html: | 
      <div id="sc-container">
      <div id="sc-branding" class="sc-bb">
      <a target="_blank" href="https://www.speedcheck.org/">
      <img src="https://cdn.speedcheck.org/branding/speedcheck-logo-18.png" alt="Speedcheck"/>
      </a>
      </div>
      </div>
```

Or

```yaml
- type: embed
    options:
      css: '.coinmarketcap-currency-widget { color: var(--widget-text-color); }'
      html: '<div class="coinmarketcap-currency-widget" data-currencyid="1" data-base="USD" data-secondary="" data-ticker="true" data-rank="true" data-marketcap="true" data-volume="true" data-statsticker="true" data-stats="USD"></div>'

<p align="center"><img width="700" src="https://i.ibb.co/1r88pvL/rss-feed-example-1.png" /></p>

##### Example

```yaml
- type: rss-feed
  options:
    rssUrl: https://notes.aliciasykes.com/feed
```

---

## Usage & Customizations

### Widget Usage Guide

Like items, widgets are placed under sections. You may have one or more widgets per section.

In your YAML config file, this will look something like:

```yaml
sections:
- name: Today
  icon: far fa-calendar-day
  widgets:
  - type: clock
    options:
      format: en-GB
  - type: weather
    options:
      apiKey: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
      city: London
      units: metric
```

> In this example, there is a single section, named "Today", using a Calendar icon from Font-Awesome. It has 2 widgets, a clock and the current weather.

---

### Continuous Updates

By default, a widget which displays dynamic data from an external source, will only fetch results on page load. If you would like to keep data updated at all times, you can enable **Continuous Updates**. This is done by setting a time value in the `updateInterval` field.

The value of `updateInterval` is optional, and is specified and seconds. It must be more than `10` and less than `7200`.

For example, the following widget displaying stats from Pi-Hole will update ever 20 seconds.

```yaml
widgets:
- type: pi-hole-stats
  updateInterval: 20
  options:
    hostname: http://192.168.130.2
```

Note that if you have many widgets, and set them to continuously update frequently, you will notice a hit to performance. A widget that relies on data from an external API, will also consume your usage quota faster, if set to keep updating.

---

### Widget Styling

Like elsewhere in Dashy, all colours can be easily modified with CSS variables. 

Widgets use the following color variables, which can be overridden if desired:
- `--widget-text-color` - Text color, defaults to `--primary`
- `--widget-background-color` - Background color, defaults to `--background-darker`
- `--widget-accent-color` - Accent color, defaults to `--background`

For more info on how to apply custom variables, see the [Theming Docs](/docs/theming.md#setting-custom-css-in-the-ui)

---

### Proxying Requests

If a widget fails to make a data request, and the console shows a CORS error, this means the server is blocking client-side requests.

Dashy has a built-in CORS proxy ([`services/cors-proxy.js`](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/blob/master/services/cors-proxy.js)), which will be used automatically by some widgets, or can be forced to use by other by setting the `useProxy` option.

For example:

```yaml
widgets:
- type: pi-hole-stats
  useProxy: true
  options:
    hostname: http://pi-hole.local
```

Alternativley, and more securley, you can set the auth headers on your service to accept requests from Dashy. For example:

```
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: https://location-of-dashy/
Vary: Origin
```

---

### Language Translations

Since most of the content displayed within widgets is fetched from an external API, unless that API supports multiple languages, translating dynamic content is not possible.

However, any hard-coded content is translatable, and all dates and times will display in your local format.

For more info about multi-language support, see the [Internationalization Docs](/docs/multi-language-support.md).

---

### Widget UI Options

Widgets can be opened in full-page view, by clicking the Arrow icon (top-right). The URL in your address bar will also update, and visiting that web address will take you straight to the selected widget.

You can reload the data of any widget, by clicking the Refresh Data icon (also in top-right). This will only affect the widget where the action was triggered from.

All [config options](/docs/configuring.md#section) that can be applied to sections, can also be applied to widget sections. For example, to make a widget span multiple columns, set `displayData.cols: 2` within the parent section. You can collapse a widget (by clicking the section title), and collapse state will be saved locally.

Widgets cannot currently be edited through the UI. This feature is in development, and will be released soon.  In the meantime, you can either use the JSON config editor, or use VS Code or SSH into your box to edit the conf.yml file directly.

---

### Build your own Widget

Widgets are built in a modular fashion, making it easy for anyone to create their own custom components.

For a full tutorial on creating your own widget, you can follow [this guide](/docs/development-guides.md#building-a-widget), or take a look at [here](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/commit/3da76ce2999f57f76a97454c0276301e39957b8e) for a code example. 

Alternatively, for displaying simple data, you could also just use the either the [iframe](#iframe-widget), [embed](#html-embedded-widget), [Data Feed](#data-feed) or [API response](#api-response) widgets.

---

### Requesting a Widget

Suggestions for widget ideas are welcome. But there is no guarantee that I will build your widget idea.

You can suggest a widget [here](https://git.io/Jygo3), please star the repo before submitting a ticket.

Please only request widgets for services that:
- Have a publicly accessible API
- Are CORS and HTTPS enabled
- Are free to use, or have a free plan
- Allow for use in their Terms of Service
- Would be useful for other users

For services that are not officially supported, it is likely still possible to display data using either the [iframe](#iframe-widget), [embed](#html-embedded-widget) or [API response](#api-response) widgets. For more advanced features, like charts and action buttons, you could also build your own widget, using [this tutorial](/docs/development-guides.md#building-a-widget), it's fairly straight forward, and you can use an [existing widget](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/tree/master/src/components/Widgets) (or [this example](https://git.io/JygKI)) as a template.
