Question: Panes/Widget interaction. #138

Good morning,

I am about to build a dashboard and I am evaluation the Freeboard product that from a first look really amaze me!

I have a couple of questions to which I could not find answers in the docs:

Is it foreseen any kind of cross-panes/widgets communication? e.g. in case i need to refresh a pane if the user interact with another. I found the freeboard.on() method but from the events' catalog I only see two events, relative to the Freeboard's instance. I couldn't find freeboard.trigger() or similar function to trigger custom event.
Is it AMD supported (RequireJS)?

Thank you very much for your time and your support.

Daniele

I have the same question too. Does anyone know how to interact between widgets?

I am interested in this question too. I am able to update the widgets by adding a drop down to the datasource configuration. But, would like to know if its possible to update the widgets when one of the widgets is changed.

Hi Daniele,

Can you please provide more information about the widget interaction you are referring to?
For example, if you have two widgets, one a button and one text, you want the text to increase every time the button is pressed. Is that correct? We have an example for you here: https://freeboard.io/board/feEP2z
