Hi All, We have done some work around gadget rendering, and we have developed a new feature so that if you need a gadget in you page you do not need the dashboard to show them. You can simply create a tag and add the gadget URL and the UI part will be available in ur page. an example would be
<c:gadget url="/foo.xml" height="100" width="100" class="gadget-style" /> once you add above tag you can place the gadget where ever you want in your page. This feature can come in handy in many ways where you want to mix static and dynamic information. We are working on revamping the system statistics page with this new method just to demonstrate as a POC. However in-order to make this available we will have to add shindig a part of carbon-core. Shindig is at the moment is 14.3MB and it will go down for about 12MB with fixes to bundle plugin, hence this will increase the size of the distribution in 12MBs. However I believe there are many advantages in having this as part of our core UI framework. for an example Google it self is pushing this model in almost all the pages they published recently [1]. I believe this feature can be quite helpful for products like BPS, GREG and BAM directly. By having this you can have functionalities like intercommunication between UI parts, unified way to show analytics/statistics and any other dynamic content. comments and ideas welcome.
