FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Informations about the package metavel
Metabase is an open source business intelligence platform where you can create charts/grids (known as questions) or a collection of questions (known as dashboards) as a custom visualization for your data. One of Metabase's features is embedding. Therefore, this package provides blade components that abstract the platform integration, allowing you to easily embed your question/dashboard in a Laravel application.
REQUIREMENTS
HOW TO INSTALL
To install the package, just use composer:
HOW TO USE
Configuring Metabase credentials
After installing, publish your config file using:
This will create a metavel.php file in your config folder. There, you'll see the environment variables to set the Metabase's base url and secret key.
You will also find in the config file a expiration_time option. Since the communication between Laravel and Metabase works with JWT, using this option you can set an exp date for you generated token. The value is in seconds using NumericDate format.
Call the component
After setting the platform credentials, you just need to call the match component in your blade file. There's two components, one for questions and other for dahsboards:
The components have some properties that you can set to customize the embbeding. Most of them are optional, except for resource, which is the ID of the element on Metabase (question or dashboard). Besides that, you can also set:
| Property | Type | default value | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| params | array | [ ] | if your question/dashboard have implicit filters |
| bordered | boolean | true | to load (or not) borders in the element |
| titled | boolean | true | to load (or not) the element original title |
| darkTheme | boolean | false | to load (or not) the element with dark theme |
| width | int | 1366 | set the width of the element |
| height | int | 768 | set the height of the element |
Styling
As a blade component, you can add HTML attributes as classes for styling, for example. The Metabase element is loaded in an iframe but it's encapsulated by a div that receives the attributes, as shown below::
