I created Kitto a framework for dashboards inspired by Dashing.
The distributed characteristics of Elixir and the low memory footprint (compared to Ruby/Rails) make it ideal for a dashboard server. It feels familiar to users of Dashing and provides a DSL to define jobs.
# File jobs/random.ex
use Kitto.Job.DSL
job :random, every: :second do
broadcast! :random, %{value: :rand.uniform * 100 |> Float.round}
end
The front end uses React/Webpack (which are really widespread) so it should be easy to dive in and code widgets without having to learn yet another framework.
Currently i’m expanding the wiki and general documentation so to make it as straightforward as possible to use.
You’re welcome to try it, make suggestions and if you evaluate it positively, help me get it in awesome elixir.

Great news! I used a lot of Dashings in Ruby and now it’s final time to use the new one

Hi,
can you indicate which OS platform you are using for your demo’s. including Erlang/Elixir/Phoenix/Nodejs versions. I have tried building on ubuntu 16.04 (and windows 7) and run into issues just compiling. (don’t know much about nodejs but ok with elixir/erlang etc).
cheers

PS how about a complete mix project with all dependecies etc for the test system?
zorbash
Thanks a lot for giving it a try.
node/npm versions can be found in the “engines” section of demo/package.json at heroku · kittoframework/demo · GitHub (planning to have a heroku deployment guide).
I develop it using debian/testing and elixir v1.3 (can’t be sure about the exact erlang/otp version right now, I’m afk). You can also inspect the platform specs in the provided Dockerfile.
Please let me know if the above info helped.

Hi Zorbash,
thanks that did help - repo versions in Ubuntu 16.04 of nodejs and npm were old - i have updated to the latest direct from the web sites and everything compiles and runs fine - how time to play!
cheers for the direction!

I’m glad everything worked out for you. I’ll add the supported elixir/erlang/node/npm versions to the readme, maybe even some matrix builds in travis. Let me know if you need further guidance.
