<header id="dashboard-header">
<h1>Internal Dashboard</h1>
</header>
<!-- Sidebar Section for Navigation -->
<aside id="dashboard-sidebar">
<nav>
<ul>
<li><a href="#overview">Overview</a></li>
<li><a href="#reports">Reports</a></li>
<li><a href="#analytics">Analytics</a></li>
</ul>
</nav>
</aside>
<!-- Main Content Area for Widgets -->
<main id="dashboard-main">
<section id="overview">
<h2>Overview</h2>
<div id="widget-overview"></div>
</section>
<section id="reports">
<h2>Reports</h2>
<div id="widget-reports"></div>
</section>
<section id="analytics">
<h2>Analytics</h2>
<div id="widget-analytics"></div>
</section>
</main>
</div>
Adding Data Widgets to Your Dashboard
dashboard.html file and scroll to the end of the <body> tag.
<script>
// Function to create an example chart in the Analytics section
function loadAnalyticsWidget() {
var ctx = document.createElement('canvas');
ctx.id = 'analyticsChart';
document.getElementById('widget-analytics').appendChild(ctx);
// Data for the chart
var chartData = {
labels: ['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr'],
datasets: [{
label: 'User Growth',
data: [10, 20, 30, 40],
backgroundColor: 'rgba(75, 192, 192, 0.5)'
}]
};
// Creating a Chart.js chart
new Chart(ctx, {
type: 'bar',
data: chartData,
options: {
responsive: true,
title: {
display: true,
text: 'Monthly User Growth'
}
}
});
}
// Function to load an overview widget using Lovable’s built-in widget rendering
function loadOverviewWidget() {
document.getElementById('widget-overview').innerHTML =
'<div class="lovable-widget">Welcome to your Internal Dashboard</div>';
}
// Initialize widgets when the page is loaded
window.onload = function() {
loadOverviewWidget();
loadAnalyticsWidget();
// Add additional widget functions as needed
};
</script>
Connecting Data Sources
function fetchReportData() {
fetch('https://api.example.com/report-data')
.then(function(response) {
return response.json();
})
.then(function(data) {
// Process and display the data in the Reports widget
document.getElementById('widget-reports').innerHTML =
'<pre>' + JSON.stringify(data, null, 2) + '</pre>';
})
.catch(function(error) {
console.error('Error fetching report data:', error);
});
}
// Call the function as part of the page load routine
window.onload = function() {
loadOverviewWidget();
loadAnalyticsWidget();
fetchReportData();
};

When it comes to serving you, we sweat the little things. That’s why our work makes a big impact.
Rapid Dev was an exceptional project management organization and the best development collaborators I've had the pleasure of working with. They do complex work on extremely fast timelines and effectively manage the testing and pre-launch process to deliver the best possible product. I'm extremely impressed with their execution ability.

Working with Matt was comparable to having another co-founder on the team, but without the commitment or cost. He has a strategic mindset and willing to change the scope of the project in real time based on the needs of the client. A true strategic thought partner!
