Real-world example: Building a dashboard module
Imagine you’re tasked with creating a sales dashboard module. With the Essential® UI Kit for Angular, you can quickly assemble components like the header, sidebar, data grid, pager, and footer. Instead of building these elements from scratch, simply select and integrate pre-built blocks to save time. The result is a responsive, professional sales dashboard module that is ready to go.
Let’s walk you through the step-by-step process.
Step 1: Divide the layout into the header at the top, the footer at the bottom, the sidebar on the right, and the main data grid and pager in the center using basic HTML DOM elements.
Refer to the following image.
Step 2: Once the layout is in place, you can copy and paste the header, footer, sidebar, data grid, and pager code directly from the demo in our gallery or download the free source code from the GitHub repository. You’ll now see a basic outline.
The following image shows an example.
Note: For more details, refer to this documentation.
Step 3: The copied code is just a template. Now, make the following minor customizations to tailor it to your needs:
- Change the company name, logo, edit button, and profile image in the header.
- In the footer, update the company name.
- Modify the user profile name, email address, and image in the sidebar. You can also update the navigation options to fit the dashboard’s requirements.
- Reduce the number of columns in the grid for a more compact view. If needed, modify the data source or columns.
- We are not going to change the pager.
With these simple and quick changes, your sales dashboard module is ready to go! Refer to the following image.
