Insights Page Widgets

The "Insights" page can be extended with custom widgets which are used to display charts, metrics or other information that can be useful for administrators to see at a glance.

Example

Here's an example of a custom widget:

custom-widget.tsx

import { Badge, DashboardBaseWidget, useLocalFormat, useWidgetFilters } from '@vendure/dashboard';export function CustomWidget() {    const { dateRange } = useWidgetFilters();    const { formatDate } = useLocalFormat();    return (        <DashboardBaseWidget id="custom-widget" title="Custom Widget" description="This is a custom widget">            <div className="flex flex-wrap gap-1">                <span>Displaying results from</span>                <Badge variant="secondary">{formatDate(dateRange.from)}</Badge>                <span>to</span>                <Badge variant="secondary">{formatDate(dateRange.to)}</Badge>            </div>        </DashboardBaseWidget>    );}

Always wrap your custom widget in the DashboardBaseWidget component, which ensures that it will render correctly in the Insights page.

Use the useWidgetFilters() hook to get the currently-selected date range, if your widget depends on that.

Then register your widget in your dashboard entrypoint file:

index.tsx

import { defineDashboardExtension } from '@vendure/dashboard';import { CustomWidget } from './custom-widget';defineDashboardExtension({    widgets: [        {            id: 'custom-widget',            name: 'Custom Widget',            component: CustomWidget,            defaultSize: { w: 3, h: 3 },        },    ],});

Your widget should now be available on the Insights page:
