# @memberjunction/ng-dashboard-viewer
A pluggable Angular dashboard viewer for rendering and editing MemberJunction dashboards with configurable panels, multiple part types (Web URLs, Entity Views, Queries, Artifacts), and a dynamic plugin architecture.
## Overview
The `@memberjunction/ng-dashboard-viewer` package provides a complete dashboard rendering and editing system. Dashboards consist of panels containing parts, where each part type has a corresponding runtime renderer and configuration panel -- both loaded dynamically via MemberJunction's `ClassFactory` plugin system. The package includes a dashboard browser for navigating available dashboards, breadcrumb navigation, and built-in support for Web URL, Entity View, Query, and Artifact part types.

## Installation
```bash
npm install @memberjunction/ng-dashboard-viewer
```
## Usage
### Import the Module
```typescript
import { DashboardViewerModule } from '@memberjunction/ng-dashboard-viewer';
@NgModule({
imports: [DashboardViewerModule]
})
export class YourModule { }
```
### Dashboard Viewer
Render a full dashboard by ID:
```html
```
### Dashboard Browser
Browse available dashboards with category filtering:
```html
```
### Dashboard Breadcrumb
Navigation breadcrumb trail:
```html
```
## Architecture
### Plugin System
Both config panels and runtime parts are registered with `@RegisterClass` and loaded dynamically via ClassFactory. This allows custom part types to be added without modifying the dashboard viewer itself.
#### Adding a Custom Part Type
1. Create a config panel component:
```typescript
import { RegisterClass } from '@memberjunction/global';
import { BaseDashboardConfigPanel } from '@memberjunction/ng-dashboard-viewer';
@RegisterClass(BaseDashboardConfigPanel, 'CustomChart')
@Component({
selector: 'mj-custom-chart-config',
template: ``
})
export class CustomChartConfigComponent extends BaseDashboardConfigPanel {
// Configuration logic
}
```
2. Create a runtime part component:
```typescript
import { RegisterClass } from '@memberjunction/global';
import { BaseDashboardPart } from '@memberjunction/ng-dashboard-viewer';
@RegisterClass(BaseDashboardPart, 'CustomChart')
@Component({
selector: 'mj-custom-chart-part',
template: ``
})
export class CustomChartPartComponent extends BaseDashboardPart {
// Rendering logic
}
```
### Built-in Part Types
| Part Type | Config Panel | Runtime Part | Description |
|-----------|-------------|-------------|-------------|
| Web URL | `WebURLConfigPanelComponent` | `WebURLPartComponent` | Embedded web page via iframe |
| View | `ViewConfigPanelComponent` | `ViewPartComponent` | MJ Entity View grid/cards |
| Query | `QueryConfigPanelComponent` | `QueryPartComponent` | MJ Query results display |
| Artifact | `ArtifactConfigPanelComponent` | `ArtifactPartComponent` | Conversation artifact viewer |
