A tool that builds a freeboard-jqplot widget package directory into a dashboard.json file that can be loaded by freeboard.
The tool can update a widget's settings in a freeboard dashboard.json file. Takes freeboard dashboard json as stdin, tries to read data.js and chart-options.js, chart-settings.json, and then serializes them into the dashboard json.
.
|____my-widget
| |____chart-options.js
| |____chart-settings.json
| |____data.js
| |____package.json
Install tool as a dev dependency in your jqplot widget project folder (see freeboard-jqplot-widget)...
$ npm install --save-dev freeboard-jqplot-buildtool
Then you can create an npm script to auto-update your dashboard.json with something like...
$ cat dashboard.json | freeboard-jqplot-buildtool > temp && cp temp dashboard.json && rm temp
