Hi all, in further celebration of the recent release of uibuilder v6.1 and after a user query, I thought it was high-time I produced a better and updated version of an old favourite - uibuilder, VueJS and SVG: Quick floorplan IoT example (flow) - Node-RED (nodered.org).
That example requires VueJS to work which seems overkill for a simple requirement. So this version does not use any frameworks, just plain old HTML, SVG, CSS and a bit of JavaScript thrown in.
The bulb images are cloned from a template and are clickable. Clicking them toggles them on and off as expected. And of course, you can control them from Node-RED as well.
The following is from the readme:
This example demonstrates how to use uibuilder with SVG images to create a dynamic home lighting dashboard.
Use a background-image (see index.css) and then clone the included "bulb" SVG (see index.html <template>) and change the properties of each bulb using uibuilder's reduced-code functions. Colours, size, position, etc are all controlled by CSS classes.
To use the example
As always deploy your flow after adding a uibuilder node, making sure the url setting is unique.
Then update the index.html, index.js and index.css files with the code provided.
Open the resulting page and play with controlling from Node-RED and try clicking on the bulb symbols on the page to see how all the interactions work.
This example demonstrates a hybrid way of working with uibuilder to create web pages.
There is some code and some Node-RED flow.
Hopefully, this illustrates how a little code can go a long way and that you are not constrained to use just one approach but can mix and match as desired.
And here is the flow, you will need to be on uibuilder v6.1 to run it:
