How to add dashboards

To add a new dashboard, create a new file inside "/resources/views/dashboards/" directory with ".blade.php" extension. The "/resources/views/empty.blade.php" file explains how this file must be filled and can be used as a template.

How to install it

Required services and tools

First of all you need to have the following services and tools:

• Web server (Apache, Nginx...)
• PHP
• MySQL server
• Composer
• Bower We recommend the use of Homestead (https://laravel.com/docs/master/homestead) as it contains all of them. Make sure to point your web server root path to the /public folder of this repository.

Install dependencies

Use composer to install all the dependencies:

composer install

Configure environment

Create a copy of the .env.sample file provided in he repository and call it .env. Edit that .env file:

1. Set the database configuration variables (DB_HOST, DB_DATABASE, DB_USERNAME, DB_PASSWORD). Make sure the database exists in your MySQL server.
2. Set the API configuration variables:
   • SDH_API: this is an URL that will be used in the dashboards to access the SDH API, so it should be accessible from a web browser.
   • SDH_API_INTERNAL: this is an URL that will be used by Laravel to access he API authentication endpoints.

Create and populate the database structure

Use the Laravel artisan cli to execute the migration and seed files:

php artisan migrate --force --seed
