Developing a Real-time Data Dashboard

Let's look at how you might go about building a real-time dashboard that displays information about destroyed products. We'll leverage the Fluid API to subscribe to a data stream and update the dashboard whenever a product is destroyed.

1. Define Data and Visualization

• Data source: Fluid API endpoint for product destruction events (e.g., /api/products/destroyed).
• Data elements: Product information (title, image, etc.) and destruction details (timestamp, reason, etc.).
• Visualization: A table or list displaying destroyed products with relevant details. Optionally, charts could track destruction trends over time.

2. Choose a Development Framework

There are various web development frameworks suitable for building dashboards. Popular choices include:

• React
• Vue.js
• Angular

We'll use a simple HTML structure for this example, but the core concepts translate to these frameworks.

3. Implement Data Fetching and Subscriptions

• Use JavaScript's fetch API or a library like Axios to make requests to the Fluid API endpoint for product destruction data.
• Utilize the Fluid API's subscription functionality to receive real-time updates whenever a product is destroyed. Popular libraries like Pusher or Socket.IO can simplify this process.

Here's an example:

const endpoint = "https://your-fluid-api-domain/api/products/destroyed";

function fetchProducts() {
  fetch(endpoint)
    .then(response => response.json())
    .then(data => {
      updateDashboard(data);
    })
    .catch(error => console.error(error));
}

function updateDashboard(data) {
  // Clear existing data (optional)
  const productList = document.getElementById("product-list");
  productList.innerHTML = "";

  // Loop through products and create elements
  data.forEach(product => {
    const listItem = document.createElement("li");
    listItem.innerHTML = `
      <img src="${product.image_url}" alt="${product.title}" />
      <h3>${product.title}</h3>
      <p>Destroyed at: ${product.destroyed_at}</p>
    `;
    productList.appendChild(listItem);
  });
}

// Subscribe to real-time updates using Pusher or Socket.IO (example omitted for brevity)

fetchProducts();

4. Update Dashboard on New Data

• Parse the received JSON data from the Fluid API response.
• Update the dashboard UI elements with the new product information. This might involve dynamically creating new HTML elements or modifying existing ones.

5. Considerations

• Error handling: Implement mechanisms to handle potential errors during data fetching or subscription.
• User authentication: If your data is sensitive, ensure proper user authentication before granting access to the dashboard.
• Security: Validate and sanitize data received from the API to prevent security vulnerabilities.
