Description

Dashing widget to display an iframe with specified src

Installation

Create the folder iframe in the /widgets/ directory. Put the files iframe.coffee, iframe.html and iframe.scss in that folder.

This can also be done by using the gist: https://gist.github.com/hussfelt/a6fe71ebd7cce327df29

dashing install a6fe71ebd7cce327df29

Dashboard configuration

Put the following in your dashboard.erb file to show the iframe:

    <li data-row="1" data-col="1" data-sizex="1" data-sizey="1">
      <div data-id="iframeId1" data-view="Iframe"></div>
    </li>

Updating the src

Curl

curl -d '{
	"auth_token": "YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN",
	"src": "http://example.com/"
}' http://0.0.0.0:3030/widgets/iframeId1

Inline

    <li data-row="1" data-col="1" data-sizex="1" data-sizey="1">
      <div data-id="iframeId1" data-view="Iframe" data-src="http://example.com/"></div>
    </li>

iframe.coffee

class Dashing.Iframe extends Dashing.Widget

  ready: ->
    $(@node).find(".iframe").attr('src', @get('src'))

  onData: (data) ->
    $(@node).find(".iframe").attr('src', data.src)

iframe.html

<iframe class="iframe" data-bind-src="src" scrolling="no"></iframe>

iframe.scss

// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Sass declarations
// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
$background-color:  #FFF;

$title-color:       #333;
$moreinfo-color:    #333;

$iframe-background:  darken($background-color, 25%);

// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Widget-iframe styles
// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
.widget-iframe {

  background-color: $background-color;
  padding: 0 !important;
  margin: 0 !important;

  iframe {
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    border: 0;
    padding: 0;
    margin: 0;
    overflow: hidden;
  }

}

This widget doesn't allow me to drag and drop like others.

Has anyone worked out a way around this?

@snayler0
I bumped up the .widget-iframe padding (to 10px) in iframe.scss and it gives you something to grab on to when rearranging.

Thanks @rcaudill!

Did you do this:

.widget-iframe {

  background-color: $background-color;
  padding: 10px !important;
  margin: 0 !important;
...

Let me know and I'll adjust!

I'm having a problem with the contents of the iframe being truncated in height - see attached image.

I haven't been able to find where the height of the iframe is set.

This is in Firefox 44.0 on Kubuntu 15.10

Yay, height problem solved. In Firefox, height: 100% only works properly if the parent container has a specified height. To fix this, change the iframe.scss to specify:

.widget-iframe {
  background-color: $background-color;
  padding: 10px !important;
  margin: 0 !important;
  height: 100%;

For those who try copy/paste inline example without success, here is the small thing to change :

<div data-id="iframeId1" data-view="Iframe" data-src="http://example.com/"></div>

to :

<div data-id="iframeId1" data-view="Iframe" data-url="http://example.com/"></div>

data-url is expected, not data-src.

Thx for this plugin !

data-url is expected, not data-src.

Thanks Mabdylon !

The HTTP API does not work. I am not firm with Ruby, BatmanBinding and all that stuff. Please help!

curl -d '{
	"auth_token": "YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN",
	"src": "http://example.com/"
}' http://0.0.0.0:3030/widgets/iframeId1

@matzelkoenig took me a while, but I figured it out:

curl -d '{ "auth_token": "YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN", "url": "http://example.com" }' http://localhost:3030/widgets/iframeId1

Is it possible to pass username and password directly via URL for password protected websites ? http://username:[email protected] doesn't work.

which file or which place add curl code?

curl -d '{
"auth_token": "YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN",
"src": "http://example.com/"
}' http://0.0.0.0:3030/widgets/iframeId1
