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:

sections:
- name: Today
  icon: far fa-calendar-day
  widgets:
  - type: clock
    options:
      format: en-GB
  - type: weather
    options:
      apiKey: 6e29c7d514cf890f846d58178b6d418f
      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.

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

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 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, or take a look at here for a code example.
