Single Page Application vs Web Component

Utilizing Vue, eodash provides developing and building as a single-page application (SPA) that has a complete application architecture focused on seamless user experiences within a single web page. Eodash also offers encapsulating the dashboard in a self-contained Web Component, which creates a reusable UI element built with standard web technologies under the <eo-dash/> tagName. Eodash SPA benefits from a smoother user experience, while Eodash Web Component excels in modularity and cross-project reusability, it can be used as a powerful building block that can often be used effectively within the structure of another web application.

Eodash as a SPA:

Development: Run eodash dev to launch the development server.

Production Build: Run eodash build to create the production-ready version.

Preview: Run eodash preview to launch a preview of the built app.

Eodash as a Web Component:

Configuration: Set the lib option to true in eodash.config.js or use the --lib flag with the dev or build commands.

The eodash web component <eo-dash/> comes with a reactive config attribute. This attribute accepts the path to the runtime configuration and loads it automatically when the dashboard page loads.

Additionally, @eodash/eodash provides a pre-built web component library within the package under /webcomponent, which can be used if you only want to use the runtime configuration. Checkout Installing Eodash Web Component In Your Project
