Charpy

This is a web app designed to crunch data into charts, maybe like a dashboard.

Release

Version 1

For this version the goals were:

• Create an API in python that can be customized easily (finding and implementing a framework)
• Provide a flexible api that can render csv files into charts (only basic ones will work)
  • Have the possibility to render more than one chart per page
  • Have the possibility to color the charts automatically
• Provide an endpoint so that you can use http request to get the csv data into json
• Provide an html view of the csv data
• Have a start with SQL compatibilities
• Have all functionality developed using TDD (test driven development) as much as possible

Demo

You can have a demo available at localhost:5001

python charpy/factory.py

Dependencies

Used for this project:

Python

• Flask - base of the microservice (Jinja2 for templating)
• SQLAlchemy - for SQL database manipulation (not really implemented at the moment)
• Pandas - for the dataframe object and data manipulation
• dateutils - for the date and time parser

Javascript

• Chart.js - for displaying the charts

Other Alternatives

I want to display other alternatives because well, this is a bit missing in feature as of now, and you might want to know what is being developed and maintained.

• plotly - Dash: flask framework using react and plotpy to display charts in a nice dashboard.
• anaconda - Bokeh depends on Jinja2 for templating, bokeh server and js library for chart
• jwkvam - bowtie: sockets.io, flask and react to create dashboard
