Dashimo - PowerShell Module

Dashimo is very simple, intuitive PowerShell generated HTML file. That's right. A single, static HTML file that you can send to email or host on a website. Dashimo is based on PSWriteHTML which I've written and is under development. What you can do in Dashimo you can do there and more. If you would like to help with development all code related to HTML/JS/CSS is on PSWriteHTML repo.

IMPORTANT

Dashimo project has been integrated back to PSWriteHTML. This project is now ARCHIVED. Dashimo syntax will live as part of PSWriteHTML aliases.

Uninstall-Module Dashimo -AllVersions
Install-Module PSWriteHTML -Force

Everything below is now a bit irrelevant. Leaving this for historical reasons. The reason for moving Dashimo syntax to PSWriteHTML was that it was getting hard to keep both modules in sync, especially that 90% of features was identical. I still like Dashimo syntax therefore it will be fully supported as part of PSWriteHTML. Hope to see you in that project.

ARCHIVE

How to Install

While you can take sources and use it from here, Dashimo actually is composed of multiple other of my modules. To get it up and running you will neeed PSWriteHTML. PSWriteHTML will need PSSharedGoods, and PSSharedGoods will need Connectimo and PSWriteColor. You can get all that from sources but if you just want to use my modules you should use Install-Module command. It's available in PowerShell 5.1. As an added bonus when I publish modules to PowerShellGallery I remove any junk, minimize modules to a single file which makes them faster to load and use. I really encourage you to use module from PowerShellGallery and treat GitHub as highely development version.

Simply use:

Install-Module Dashimo

And to update

Update-Module Dashimo

That's it. Whenever there's new version you simply run the command and you can enjoy it. Remember, that you may need to close, reopen PowerShell session if you have already used module before updating it.

The important thing is if something works for you on production, keep using it till you test the new version on a test computer. I do changes that may not be big, but big enough that auto-update will break your code. For example, small rename to a parameter and your code stops working! Be responsible!

Examples

Conditional formatting in action...

$Process = Get-Process | Select-Object -First 30

Dashboard -Name 'Dashimo Test' -FilePath $PSScriptRoot\DashboardSimplestTableConditions.html -Show {
    Table -DataTable $Process -HideFooter {
        TableConditionalFormatting -Name 'ID' -ComparisonType number -Operator gt -Value 10000 -Color BlueViolet -Row
        TableConditionalFormatting -Name 'Name' -ComparisonType string -Operator eq -Value 'chrome' -Color White -BackgroundColor Crimson -Row
        TableConditionalFormatting -Name 'PriorityClass' -ComparisonType string -Operator eq -Value 'Idle' -Color White -BackgroundColor Green
    }
}

Easy example:

$Process = Get-Process | Select-Object -First 30

Dashboard -Name 'Dashimo Test' -FilePath $PSScriptRoot\DashboardSimplestTable.html -AutoRefresh 15 -Show {
    Table -DataTable $Process -DefaultSortIndex 4 -ScrollCollapse -HideFooter -Buttons @()
}

Complicated, still easy example:

$Process = Get-Process | Select-Object -First 30
$Process1 = Get-Process | Select-Object -First 5
$Process2 = Get-Process | Select-Object -First 10
$Process3 = Get-Process | Select-Object -First 10

Dashboard -Name 'Dashimo Test' -FilePath $PSScriptRoot\DashboardEasy.html -Show {
    Tab -Name 'First tab' {
        Section -Name 'Test' {
            Table -DataTable $Process
        }
        Section -Name 'Test2' {
            Panel {
                Table -DataTable $Process1
            }
            Panel {
                Table -DataTable $Process1
            }
        }
        Section -Name 'Test3' {
            Table -DataTable $Process -DefaultSortColumn 'Id'
        }
    }
    Tab -Name 'second tab' {
        Panel {
            Table -DataTable $Process2
        }
        Panel {
            Table -DataTable $Process2
        }
        Panel {
            Table -DataTable $Process3 -DefaultSortIndex 4
        }
    }
}
