What we will build

This is part 2 of the tutorial of react-cumulio. Go to part 1 if you haven't read it yet.
For this part we will make a multipage website with a few dashboards.

Part 2 - Embedding dashboards in a multipage application

We will pick up where we left at part 1. Let's first start with adding our pages. We'll have two: home and dashboard.

For this we will use the react-router-dom package.

yarn add react-router-dom

OR

npm i react-router-dom

If you would like to have typescript typings, add the @types/react-router-dom types package to your dev dependencies. Now add a components directory inside the src directory. Here we will create a Dashboards and Home directory both having a index.tsx file with our component and a styles.scss file with out custom styling.

Then, make a navbar menu in App.tsx so that we can access our components:

import React from 'react';
import { BrowserRouter as Router, Link, Switch, Route } from "react-router-dom";
import './App.css';
import Dashboards from './components/Dashboards';
import Home from './components/Home';

function App() {
  return (
    <Router>
      <nav className="navbar">
        <div className="navbar-title">
          <h1>My Website</h1>
        </div>
        <div className="navbar-menu">
          <div className="navbar-start">
            <Link to="/" className="navbar-item">Home</Link>
            <Link to="/dashboards" className="navbar-item">Dashboards</Link>
          </div>
        </div>
      </nav>

      <Switch>
        <Route path="/dashboards" exact component={Dashboards} />
        <Route path="/" exact component={Home} />
      </Switch>

      <footer className="footer"><span></span></footer>

    </Router>
  );
}

export default App;

And add some css in App.css:

body {
  font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica,
    Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol";
  font-size: 14px;
  color: white;
  box-sizing: border-box;
  -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;
  -moz-osx-font-smoothing: grayscale;
}

#root {
  height: 100%;
}

/* Header */
.navbar,
.navbar-end,
.navbar-menu,
.navbar-start {
  -webkit-box-align: stretch;
  -ms-flex-align: stretch;
  align-items: stretch;
  display: -webkit-box;
  display: -ms-flexbox;
  display: flex;
}

.navbar {
  background-color: #3a3a3a;
  -webkit-box-align: stretch;
  display: flex;
}

.navbar-menu {
  -webkit-box-flex: 1;
  -ms-flex-positive: 1;
  flex-grow: 1;
  -ms-flex-negative: 0;
  flex-shrink: 0;
  padding-left: 1rem;
}

.navbar-item {
  -webkit-box-align: center;
  align-items: center;
  display: flex;
  padding-right: 1rem;
}

.navbar-item:hover,
.navbar-item:active {
  background-color: #2c2c2c;
}

.navbar a,
.navbar-title h1 {
  text-decoration: none;
  padding-left: 1rem;
  color: rgb(233, 233, 233);
}

.navbar a {
  font-size: large;
}

/* Footer */
.footer {
  height: 60px;
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;
  background-color: #3a3a3a;
  color: white;
  font-weight: 600;
}

Now the routing to our components will work. The home component will display a simple home page. The dashboard component will eventually show a few tabs with a dashboard on each tab. We will first add some simple HTML and CSS for our home page.

Home\index.tsx

import React from 'react';
import './styles.scss';

const Home = () => {
    return (
        <div className="container">
            <div className="title">
                <h1>Home Page</h1>
            </div>
            <div className="content">
                <p>Go to the dashboards tab to view your dashboards!</p>
            </div>
        </div>
    );
};

export default Home;

Home\styles.scss

.container {
    height: 100%;    
    background-color: #209cee;
    padding: 1rem;
}

.title h1 {
    background-color: #209cee;
}

.container p {
    font-size: large;
}

Now for our dashboard component. Here we can add our dashboards and tabs.

Dashboards\index.tsx

import React, { useReducer, useState } from 'react';
import { CumulioComponent, CumulioContext, initialState, reducer } from "react-cumulio";
import './styles.scss';

const Dashboards = () => {
    const [activeDashboard, setActiveDashboard] = useState(0);

    const dashboards = [
        {
            name: 'Facebook',
            dashboardId: '763177aa-9b93-4ae7-903e-3cb07dc593d8'
        },
        {
            name: 'LinkedIn',
            dashboardId: '722fa789-89c8-4149-be4d-bc3eb348a65f'
        },
        {
            name: 'Adwords',
            dashboardId: 'eb8a3bec-2d19-4229-b40a-2f31ad379780'
        }
    ];
};

export default Dashboards;

You can use your own dashboards if you want. Now we want to go to different dashboards depending on which tab we are on. We use the useState hook from react to keep track of the active dashboard.

const Dashboards = () => {
    const [activeDashboard, setActiveDashboard] = useState(0);
};

Now we will edit the Dashboards\index.tsx so that we can actually see the tabs and dashboards. Add the tabs to the toolbar. This will show all tabs, this way when you click on a tab, it will show you the dashboard from the same index as your tabs.

import React, { useReducer, useState } from 'react';
import { CumulioComponent, CumulioContext, initialState, reducer } from "react-cumulio";
import './styles.scss';

const Dashboards = () => {
    const [activeDashboard, setActiveDashboard] = useState(0);
    const [state, dispatch] = useReducer(reducer, initialState);

    const dashboards = [
        {
            name: 'Facebook',
            dashboardId: '763177aa-9b93-4ae7-903e-3cb07dc593d8'
        },
        {
            name: 'LinkedIn',
            dashboardId: '722fa789-89c8-4149-be4d-bc3eb348a65f'
        },
        {
            name: 'Adwords',
            dashboardId: 'eb8a3bec-2d19-4229-b40a-2f31ad379780'
        }
    ];

    return (
        <div className="main">
            <div className="toolbar" role="banner">
                <ul className="tabs">
                    {dashboards.map((dashboard, index) => (
                        <li key={index} className={index === activeDashboard ? "active" : ""} onClick={(e) => setActiveDashboard(index)}>
                            {dashboard.name}
                        </li>
                    ))}
                </ul>
            </div>
            <div className="content" role="main">
                <CumulioContext.Provider value={{ state, dispatch }}>
                    <CumulioComponent
                        dashboardId={dashboards[activeDashboard].dashboardId}
                        loaderBackground="rgb(238, 243, 246)"
                        loaderFontColor="rgb(0, 45, 112)"
                        loaderSpinnerColor="rgb(0, 54, 136)"
                        loaderSpinnerBackground="rgb(194, 209, 233)"
                    />
                </CumulioContext.Provider>
            </div>
        </div>
    );
};

export default Dashboards;

Now you only need 1 CumulioComponent element, the same parameters will be used with all the dashboards. Also add some changes to the Dashboards\styles.scss file, you can always use your own styling.

.main {
    /* Toolbar */
    .toolbar {
        width: 100%;
        height: 60px;
        display: flex;
        align-items: center;
        background-color: rgb(7, 89, 139);
        color: white;
        font-weight: 600;
        position: relative;
        box-shadow: 0 0 1.5rem rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1);
        z-index: 1;
        overflow: hidden;
    }

    /* Tabs */
    .tabs {
        list-style: none;
        bottom: 0;
        min-width: 40rem;
        margin-bottom: 0;
        position: absolute;
        padding-left: 0;
        padding-bottom: 0.4rem;
    }

    .tabs li {
        float: left;
        width: 8rem;
        text-align: center;
        line-height: 3rem;
        margin-right: 1rem;
        text-transform: uppercase;
        font-weight: bold;
        cursor: pointer;
        user-select: none;
        color: rgb(233, 233, 233);
        overflow: hidden;
        white-space: nowrap;
    }

    .tabs li:hover {
        color: #d4d4d4;
    }

    .tabs li:nth-of-type(1).active {
        color: rgb(255, 255, 255);
    }

    .tabs li:nth-of-type(2).active {
        color: rgb(255, 255, 255);
    }

    .tabs li:nth-of-type(3).active {
        color: rgb(255, 255, 255);
    }

    /* Content */
    .content {
        display: flex;
        margin: 32px auto;
        padding: 0 16px 16px;
        flex-direction: column;
        align-items: center;
    }
}

That's it! With part 2 concluded, you now have a multipage application with some embedded dashboards.
