Pages - feature requests ;-)

PowerShell Universal
1

we are experimenting more and more with pages and think they are great, super easy to build a simple form, but there are a couple of things we would like to be able to do.

access global cache as a datasource. we do this by calling a script in integrated env. but would be nice if we could just use cache directly.

add a hyperlink as a column type for a table (we can fake this by embedding a dashboard into a page),

somehow integrate the pages nav with dashboard nav. I can see some usecases where would like to use both a dashboard item which linked to a page, but we would need someway to manage nav. - but we are not sure if this would be possible

Iā€™ve opened issue for all of these. Good suggestions :slight_smile:

Ooh Iā€™ve got one.

If I use a ā€œFormā€ component to execute a script and display its output as a table, Iā€™d love a way to customise the columns of that table. I havenā€™t found a way to do that in 2.10.

Heck ā€¦ even if I could drop a table component onto the same form and for its ā€œsource typeā€ say ā€œformā€ and point it at the form on the same page, rather than pointing it at a script or API.

is there any update on integrating ā€˜pagesā€™ and dashboard navigations, so we can a single navigation option which includes pages and dashboars?

There hasnā€™t been any movement on this. There are technical reasons this is difficult. That said, you could accomplish this through the use of a dashboard and iframes to display pages. If you want an example, Iā€™m happy to put one together.

thanks I thought it might be tricky.

if you have time I would love to see an example.

Create a page without the header or the navigation.

In the dashboard, create a page specific to the udpage with the full page iframe that points to the page URL.

New-UDDashboard -Title 'PowerShell Universal' -Pages @(
    New-UDPage -Name 'Home' -Content {

    }
    New-UDPage -Name 'Form' -Content {
        New-UDElement -tag 'iframe' -Attributes @{
            src = '/form'
            width = '100%'
            frameBorder = '0'
            style = @{
                position = 'absolute'
                height = '100%'
            }
        } 
    } 
) -NavigationLayout permanent

Now the page will load within the dashboard.
