Hi all,
I'm migrating my flows from dashboard-1 to dashboard-2.
Previously, I was preparing some data to visualize from a function and use them on a widget.
For example on a function I prepare msg.label and on the label field of chart node I issue {{msg.label}}.
Actually, on dashboard-2, the "{{msg.label}}" is the text to visualize on the chart and not the data contained in the variable.
Is it possible to manage this in a future release of Dashboard-2?
It's one of the most requested features we have: Programmatic (Mustache) Titles & Labels · Issue #555 · FlowFuse/node-red-dashboard · GitHub
However, the {{ }} method, when directly applied to a node/widget property, is full of security vulnerabilities, so we are in the process of working on an alternative.
The first iteration of this opened today: UI Text - Support HTML injection by joepavitt · Pull Request #1046 · FlowFuse/node-red-dashboard · GitHub
It would use Node-REDs "template" node, and then each node is being updated to allow overriding of properties at runtime using msg.ui_update._<property>
The use of NR's template has the advantage also of being able to access the global and flow context stores too, and is less prone to security vulnerabilities
It should be perfect.
The "problem" is that the property "label" actually doen't permt to be dynamic. So I don't know how I can do what I need.
We are working through all of the widgets as we speak: Modify/Update UI-widget parameters from external · Issue #833 · FlowFuse/node-red-dashboard · GitHub
Should only be a couple of weeks
