View Source Phoenix.LiveDashboard.PageBuilder behaviour (LiveDashboard v0.8.3)

Page builder is the default mechanism for building custom dashboard pages.

Each dashboard page is a LiveView with additional callbacks for customizing the menu appearance and the automatic refresh.

A simple and straight-forward example of a custom page is the Phoenix.LiveDashboard.EtsPage that ships with the dashboard:

defmodule Phoenix.LiveDashboard.EtsPage do
  @moduledoc false
  use Phoenix.LiveDashboard.PageBuilder

  @impl true
  def menu_link(_, _) do
    {:ok, "ETS"}
  end

  @impl true
  def render(assigns) do
    ~H"""
    <.live_table
      id="ets-table"
      dom_id="ets-table"
      page={@page}
      title="ETS"
      row_fetcher={&fetch_ets/2}
      row_attrs={&row_attrs/1}
      rows_name="tables"
    >
      <:col field={:name} header="Name or module" />
      <:col field={:protection} />
      <:col field={:type} />
      <:col field={:size} text_align="right" sortable={:desc} />
      <:col field={:memory} text_align="right" sortable={:desc} :let={ets}>
        <%= format_words(ets[:memory]) %>
      </:col>
      <:col field={:owner} :let={ets} >
        <%= encode_pid(ets[:owner]) %>
      </:col>
    </.live_table>
    """
  end

  defp fetch_ets(params, node) do
    %{search: search, sort_by: sort_by, sort_dir: sort_dir, limit: limit} = params

    # Here goes the code that goes through all ETS tables, searches
    # (if not nil), sorts, and limits them.
    #
    # It must return a tuple where the first element is list with
    # the current entries (up to limit) and an integer with the
    # total amount of entries.
    # ...
  end

  defp row_attrs(table) do
    [
      {"phx-click", "show_info"},
      {"phx-value-info", encode_ets(table[:id])},
      {"phx-page-loading", true}
    ]
  end
end

Once a page is defined, it must be declared in your live_dashboard route as follows:

live_dashboard "/dashboard",
  additional_pages: [
    route_name: MyAppWeb.MyCustomPage
  ]

Or alternatively:

live_dashboard "/dashboard",
  additional_pages: [
    route_name: {MyAppWeb.MyCustomPage, some_option: ...}
  ]

The second argument of the tuple will be given to the init/1 callback. If not tuple is given, init/1 will receive an empty list.

Options for the use macro

The following options can be given when using the PageBuilder module:

refresher? - Boolean to enable or disable the automatic refresh in the page.

Components

A page can return any valid HEEx template in the render/1 callback, and it can use the components listed with this page too.

We currently support card/1, fields_card/1, row/1, shared_usage_card/1, and usage_card/1; and the live components live_layered_graph/1, live_nav_bar/1, and live_table/1.

Helpers

Some helpers are available for page building. The supported helpers are: live_dashboard_path/2, live_dashboard_path/3, encode_app/1, encode_ets/1, encode_pid/1, encode_port/1, and encode_socket/1.

(optional)

@callback handle_event(event :: binary(), unsigned_params(), socket :: Socket.t()) ::
  {:noreply, Socket.t()} | {:reply, map(), Socket.t()}

Callback invoked when an event is called.

Note that show_info event is handled automatically by Phoenix.LiveDashboard.PageBuilder, but the info parameter (phx-value-info) needs to be encoded with one of the encode_* helper functions.

For more details, see Phoenix.LiveView bindings

handle_info(msg, socket)

(optional)

@callback handle_info(msg :: term(), socket :: Socket.t()) :: {:noreply, Socket.t()}

handle_params(unsigned_params, uri, socket)

(optional)

@callback handle_params(unsigned_params(), uri :: String.t(), socket :: Socket.t()) ::

handle_refresh(socket)

(optional)

@callback handle_refresh(socket :: Socket.t()) :: {:noreply, Socket.t()}

Callback invoked when the automatic refresh is enabled.

init(term)

@callback init(term()) :: {:ok, session()} | {:ok, session(), requirements()}

Callback invoked when a page is declared in the router.

It receives the router options and it must return the tuple {:ok, session, requirements}.

The page session will be serialized to the client and received on mount.

The requirements is an optional keyword to detect the state of the node.

The result of this detection will be passed as second argument in the menu_link/2 callback. The possible values are:

:applications list of applications that are running or not.
:modules list of modules that are loaded or not.
:pids list of processes that alive or not.

menu_link(session, capabilities)

@callback menu_link(session(), capabilities()) ::
  {:ok, String.t()}
  | {:disabled, String.t()}
  | {:disabled, String.t(), String.t()}
  | :skip

Callback invoked when a page is declared in the router.

It receives the session returned by the init/1 callback and the capabilities of the current node.

The possible return values are:

{:ok, text} when the link should be enable and text to be shown.
{:disabled, text} when the link should be disable and text to be shown.
{:disabled, text, more_info_url} similar to the previous one but it also includes a link to provide more information to the user.
:skip when the link should not be shown at all.

mount(unsigned_params, session, socket)
