Dashing is a Sinatra based framework that lets you build beautiful dashboards. Every new Dashing project comes with sample widgets & sample dashboards for you to explore. The directory is setup as follows. Assets, all your images, fonts, and js/coffeescript libraries. Uses Sprockets. Dashboards, one .erb file for each dashboard that contains the layout for the widgets. Jobs, your ruby jobs for fetching data (e.g for calling third party APIs like twitter). Lib, optional ruby files to help out your jobs. Public, static files that you want to serve. A good place for a favicon or a custom 404 page. Widgets, all the html/css/coffee for individual widgets. Widgets use batman bindings in order to update their contents. Whenever the data changes, the DOM will automatically reflect the changes. Dashing uses gridster.js to create a layout for your widgets. Each widget is part of an unordered list.
