First third-party widget published for Dashboard 2.0 (ui-webcam)

[joepavitt]

I just wanted to do a shout out and public "Thank You" to @sumitshinde-84 who is officially the publisher and developer of the first third-party widget for Dashboard 2.0 - ui-webcam!

It's available now in the Node-RED Catalog: node-red-dashboard-2-ui-webcam (node) - Node-RED

@sumitshinde-84 has lead the way in publishing this widget, and offered great feedback for the Example Project I published (which has been improved and updated) in the hope that many more third-party widgets follow.

Hi @joepavitt , huge thanks for the shoutout! I'm glad to be a part of Dashboard 2.0 with the ui-webcam widget. Appreciate your support and looking forward to more exciting developments!

It is working well for me, thanks for providing this.

I did find that I had to restart node-red in order for the widget to appear on the page. Is that expected?

[joepavitt]

It wasnt necessarily, but knowing the method by which Dashboard 2.0 finds out about the third party widgets (via Node-RED's package json) I can understand why that might be a requirement.

I have a chat with Nick on Wednesday, so will mention this then and see of we can make it either (a) not required, or (b) more obvious to user its required.
