I am very much looking forward to the implementation of this chart feature. It will be extremely helpful for our small business. I even believe that this feature is crucial for the success of NoCodeDB. Other features can be delayed, but the priority for this feature should be the highest.
@dstala As a temporary solution, how can we create charts from NocoDB data using external tools? In this discussion, users are talking about Redash or Superset. Can we connect it to NocoDB cloud?
This would be really handy indeed.
I think even an easy to use connector to Metabase would be great. Building everything in is never a good idea. Integrations rule!
@dalekirkwood Maybe we can also create issues on dashboard tools like Metabase and request for a NocoDB connector.
Matomo, Umami and Turnilo are for web analytics only.
You should be able to connect to NoCoDB via duckdb through their API extension, or even postgres as well. We won't be able to connect to this DB till we develop a REST API DB connector https://github.com/metabase/metabase/issues/4831
@paoliniluis I can succesfully connect to NocoDB using the API connector in AppSmith. The problem is that NocoDB has a pagination system to retrieve records that does not allow a user to get all the records, the maximum being 100. The only way to get all the records is to have a proper connector

@LucBerge - I think we did it with pagination. Let me see if I can make an example and send it over.
@LucBerge - ok, so it's quite easy to add pagination. Here is the community Template - https://community.appsmith.com/template/nocodb-pagnation
Basically, the key is to use the 'offset' parameter
and in the UI, select 'Server Side' Pagination and call the query on click
This method will miss the first page, I am sure there is a nice easy way to fix that, but my brain is tired 😴

@LucBerge - sorry I missed this. Yes we can. It's a great idea. It seems to me to be a real shame that there is not better integration between open-source tools.

[APPSMITH] @dalekirkwood Regarding my pagination use case, I was trying to get all the records to compute something out of it, draw charts and displays sums in a text box. What you showed is for Tables only. Here is the solution : https://github.com/appsmithorg/appsmith/issues/16877#issuecomment-2450334822
Please confirm that the feature request does not already exist
Use case
I have a database. Now I need to create a dashboard/interface/charts from the data to make it readable. I also want to create pages where I can dispose of charts, table, KPI, text, buttons...etc the way I want.
Suggested solution
Short terme solution : List all the tools NocoDB can be used with, in order to create dashboards, with tutorials and documentation.
Long terme solution : Add interfaces/dashboards like in Airtable, Budibase, Appsmith, Monday...etc
Additional context
I am not entirely sure that no issue exists for this feature request, I did not found any.
Keep in mind that a database alone does not provide any value. What makes the values is the data you can compute out of it. Without charts and dashboard NocoDB is not enough.
There is an ongoing discussion about how to draw charts in nocodb. I would like to know if you plan to do such a feature anytime soon?
