PanicBoardData

This gem exists to make it eaiser to display data on your Panic Status Board.

Usage

The Panic Status Board loads itself with data it pulls from the internet.

Therefore, if you want to show very custom data in your Status Board, you'll want to create a website that serves that custom data.

With this gem, the easiest way to do this is to create a simple Sinatra application. Create a simple site that returns the output from this gem, and your custom Status Board will be good-to-go.

Tables

Table

  # Sinatra example
  get '/my_table' do

    # sample images for our board
    images = [build_image('http://tinyurl.com/mnvjm96'),
              build_image('http://tinyurl.com/kt3hp7v')]

    # special note: An array of values (like "images") will
    # be flattened into a single value in the cell...
    # so no need to concatenate things like rows of images.
    data = [['Project A', "5 days", images,    progress_bar_to(3)], 
            ['Project B', "2 days", images[0], progress_bar_to(7)],
            ['Project C', "9 days", images[1], progress_bar_to(1)],
            ['Project D', "1 day",  nil,       progress_bar_to(8)]]

    table = PanicBoardData::Table.new data

    # optionally set the column widths
    table.widths = [nil, 125, 100]

    # return HTML necessary for import into Status Board
    table.to_html
  
  end

Graphs

Graph

  #another Sinatra example
  get '/graph_example' do

    # one set of data
    hotdogs = PanicBoardData::DataSequence.new('Hotdogs')
    hotdogs.data['Sunday']    = 4
    hotdogs.data['Monday']    = 3
    hotdogs.data['Tuesday']   = 4
    hotdogs.data['Wednesday'] = 8
    hotdogs.data['Thursday']  = 10
    hotdogs.data['Friday']    = 11
    hotdogs.data['Saturday']  = 2

    # another set of data
    burgers = PanicBoardData::DataSequence.new('Burgers')
    burgers.data['Sunday']    = 1
    burgers.data['Monday']    = 7
    burgers.data['Tuesday']   = 5
    burgers.data['Wednesday'] = 6
    burgers.data['Thursday']  = 10
    burgers.data['Friday']    = 15
    burgers.data['Saturday']  = 5

    # build the graph
    graph = PanicBoardData::Graph.new
    graph.title = "Purchases"

    # this can be :bar or :line
    graph.type = :bar

    # add the sets of data you want to display in the graph
    graph.data_sequences << hotdogs
    graph.data_sequences << burgers

    # return JSON necessary for import into Status Board
    graph.to_json

  end

Single Values

These can be really big...

SingleValue

  # yet another Sinatra example
  get '/single_value' do
    heading = 'How many people live in the United States?'
    value = PanicBoardData::SingleValue.new heading, '317,044,240'

    # return HTML necessary for import into Status Board
    value.to_html
  end

... or very small.

SingleValue

  # yet another Sinatra example
  get '/single_value' do
    PanicBoardData::SingleValue.new('Logins Today', 1).to_html
  end
