A Rails engine port of Shopify's Dashing dashboard framework for building real-time, widget-based dashboards in Ruby on Rails applications. It supports custom widgets with SCSS/HTML/CoffeeScript, data bindings via batman.js, and pushing data through an API with Redis.

Use cases

  • build a real-time metrics dashboard in a Rails app
  • display KPI dashboards on wall-mounted TVs
  • create custom dashboard widgets with SCSS and CoffeeScript
  • push live data to dashboards via an API
  • host team status dashboards on Heroku

When to choose

  • you have an existing Rails 4+ application and want embedded dashboards
  • you want the Shopify Dashing experience integrated as a Rails engine
  • you need drag-and-drop widget arrangement and real-time data updates

When to avoid

  • you are not using Ruby on Rails
  • you need actively maintained software - the last release was in 2020 and it depends on legacy tools like batman.js
  • you want a modern dashboard stack without Redis and a multithreaded server requirement
