Reveal.Sdk.Dom

The Reveal.Sdk.Dom is a Document Object Model (DOM) for the Reveal .rdash file format. It allows developer using the Reveal SDK to load, edit, and create dashboards using .NET.

The Reveal.Sdk.Dom is currently BETA so expect things to not work, or to possibly break in a future release.

Check out the Samples in the Sandbox application I am using to develop and test the API.

Quick Start Guide

Install the Reveal.Sdk.Dom NuGet package:

Load Dashboard

string filePath = Path.Combine(Environment.CurrentDirectory, "Sales.rdash");
var document = RdashDocument.Load(filePath);

Create Dashboard

//create the dashboard document
var document = new RdashDocument("My Dashboard");

//create a data source item using a REST service
var jsonDataSourceItem = new RestServiceBuilder("https://excel2json.io/api/share/6e0f06b3-72d3-4fec-7984-08da43f56bb9")
    .SetTitle("JSON Data Source")
    .SetSubtitle("Sales by Category")
    .SetFields(new List<Field>() //must define the fields returned from the data set
    {
        new NumberField("CategoryID"),
        new TextField("CategoryName"),
        new TextField("ProductName"),
        new NumberField("ProductSales"),
    })
    .Build();

//add a Pie Chart to the dashboard using the REST service as the data source
document.Visualizations.Add(new PieChartVisualization("My Pie Chart", jsonDataSourceItem)
    .SetLabel("CategoryName")
    .SetValue("ProductSales"));

//save the document as an .rdash file
document.Save(filePath);

//optionally load the document into a RevealView
var json = document.ToJsonString();
_revealView.Dashboard = await RVDashboard.LoadFromJsonAsync(json);
