I've also used the core Horizon bits for dashboards other than the OpenStack
dashboard. I can't speak for any current bugs you may run into, but
by-and-large the ability to create arbitrary dashboards, tables, workflows,
etc. to interact with RESTful APIs works perfectly without the OpenStack bits.
My goal has always been to keep a clean separation between the generic
(horizon) and specific (openstack_dashboard) code.
I always encouraged people to file any problems they have using the horizon
module for non-OpenStack purposes as bugs on the project. Someday the modules
may actually be split into two separate packages, but for nw the design goal
stands, at least.
All the best,

I have used the Horizon framework for an application other than the OpenStack
Dashboard and it worked really well. There is an effort to create a separation
between the Horizon framework and the OpenStack Dashboard and once that happens
it will be even easier. How hard or difficult it is will depend on exactly
what you're trying to do and how well its UI metaphor matches that of the
OpenStack Dashboard.

Subject: [openstack-dev] Re-using Horizon bits in OpenDaylight
Hello everyone.
I would like to know if anyone here has knowledge on how easy it is to use
Horizon for something else then OpenStack things?
I'm the starter of the dlux project that aims to consume the OpenDaylight SDN
controller Northbound REST APIs instead of the integrated UI it has now. Though
the current PoC is done using AngularJS i came into issues like how we make it
easy for third part things that are not core to plugin it's things into the app
which I know that can be done using panels and alike in Horizon.
So the question boils down to, can I easily re-use Horizon for ODL?
Endre
