Components

UI components are basic building blocks of a web dashboard. They can be divided into two large groups:

  • Regular components

Every dashboard is essentially a hierarchy of nested containers with different components and containers positioned inside them.

Component Data Model

Each component is backed by a virtual context that provides unified access to its properties, functions and events. This approach allows dashboard bindings to transfer data between UI components and unified data model of Iotellect Server.

Component's context tree structure doesn't match structure of components and their containers in a dashboard. Every component's context is rather added to the root of component context tree and, thus, component's context path equals to component name.

See Dashboard Data Model for more information.
