Node-RED-Dashboard widget nodes inside UI Builder

[spillz]

Hi Julian,
Thanks for the update ,

@TotallyInformation

Now, it is possible to create "components" that would work similarly to Dashboard's widgets (though you wouldn't normally want to send that code via the uibuilder websocket like Dashboard does). Indeed, I created an example component that mimics Bart's SVG node for Dashboard.

I believe you are talking about this => Uibuilder + VueJS + SVG = visual IoT floorplan.

If ever life lets up a bit, or others decide to jump in and help, I've plenty of plans to create other components to make using uibuilder easier to use for non-coders. Each component would be front-end code though and not a new node. That's because we only need to agree a standard for the data that flows between the uibuilder node and the front-end component, we don't need to pass the full code. That would mean that it would be installed via uibuilder's library manager (or manually using npm on the command line) rather than as another Node-RED node.

If we could form a small working group where your ideas can be discussed . i can contribute some time into developing it .

Thanks for much Julian and Steve
