Real-world example: Building a dashboard module

Suppose you’re assigned to create a sales dashboard module. By leveraging the Essential® UI Kit for React, you can efficiently compile key components—such as the header, sidebar, data grid, pager, and footer—without starting from scratch. Choose and incorporate the pre-designed blocks to save time, resulting in a responsive, professional sales dashboard ready for deployment.

Here’s a step-by-step guide to the process.

Step 1: Designing the layout

Structure the layout by positioning the header at the top, the bottom footer, and the right sidebar. Using basic HTML DOM elements, place the primary data grid and pager in the center.

Refer to the following image.

Step 2: Incorporating pre-designed elements

After setting up the layout, copy and paste the code for the headerfootersidebardata grid, and pager code directly from the demo in our gallery, or download the free source code from the GitHub repository. This will provide you with a basic framework.

Note: For more details, refer to building your first React app with blocks documentation.

Step 3: Personalizing the template

The copied code serves as a template. Now, make the following minor customizations to tailor it to your needs:

  • Update the company name, logo, edit button, and profile image in the header.
  • In the footer, revise the company name.
  • Modify the user profile name, email address, and image in the sidebar. Additionally, 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, adjust the data source or columns.
  • Here, we’ll not change the pager.

With these straightforward and quick modifications, the sales dashboard module is ready to go!
