Introducing Adashta: Server-Side Real-Time Charting & More

We are thrilled to announce the launch of Adashta, an advanced SDK designed to simplify real-time communication for developers. With Adashta, you can focus on your core business logic while we handle the intricacies of real-time data streaming. Our goal is to make it easier than ever to integrate real-time functionalities into your applications.

Why Adashta?

In the ever-evolving landscape of web development, real-time communication has become a critical component for delivering dynamic and responsive user experiences. Whether you're building a live data dashboard, a collaborative tool, or a real-time notification system, Adashta has you covered.

Adashta Charts

One of Adashta's standout features is Adashta Charts, a server-side charting solution that enables you to create real-time charts with little to no frontend coding. With Adashta Charts, you can:

• Generate various chart types, including line, bar, and pie charts.
• Update charts in real-time with new data from server.

Getting Started

Server-Side Installation and Initialization

To get started with Adashta on the server side, follow these simple steps:

1. Install Adashta via npm:
   

   npm install adashta
   

2. Initialize Adashta:
   

   const { Adashta } = require('adashta');
   
   const adashta = new Adashta({
     adashtaHost: 'localhost',
     adashtaPort: '3011'
   });
   
   const loadAdashta = async () => {
     adashta.on('connection', async (clientId) => {
       console.log('Client connected', clientId);
     });
   
     adashta.on('disconnection', async (clientId) => {
       console.log('Client disconnected', clientId);
     });
   };
   
   loadAdashta();
   

Client-Side Integration

1. Include Adashta SDK in Your HTML:
   

   <script type="module">
     import { Adashta } from 'https://cdn.skypack.dev/adashta-js';
   </script>
   

2. Initialize Adashta in the Client:
   

   const adashta = new Adashta({
     adashtaHost: 'localhost',
     adashtaPort: 3011
   });
   

No extra configuration is needed on the client side. Adashta will automatically connect to the server and handle real-time communication between the server and client.

Creating Real-Time Charts

Wooho! You're all set up with Adashta on the server and client sides. Now, let's see how you can create real-time charts with Adashta Charts.

1. Define Your Chart:
   

   const chart = {
     chartId: 'dummy-company-stock-chart',
     querySelector: '.chart',
     chartData: {
       type: 'line',
       data: {
         labels: ['Day 1'],
         datasets: [{
           label: 'Dummy Company Stock Price',
           data: [350],
           borderWidth: 2
         }]
       },
       options: {
         scales: {
           y: {
             title: {
               display: true,
               text: 'Share Price ($)'
             }
           },
           x: {
             title: {
               display: true,
               text: 'Days'
             },
             ticks: {
               autoSkip: true,
               maxTicksLimit: 10,
             }
           }
         }
       }
     }
   };
   

2. Send Chart Data to Client:
   

   await adashta.charts().produce(clientId, chart);
   

3. Update Chart Data:
   

   chart.chartData.data.labels.push(`Day ${days}`);
   chart.chartData.data.datasets[0].data.push(getRandomInt(300, 800));
   await adashta.charts().produce(clientId, chart);
   

4. Complete Example:
   

   const { Adashta } = require('adashta');
   
   const adashta = new Adashta({
     adashtaHost: 'localhost',
     adashtaPort: '3011'
   });
   
   const loadAdashta = async () => {
     const clientIdInterval = {};
     adashta.on('connection', async (clientId) => {
       const chart = {
         chartId: 'dummy-company-stock-chart',
         querySelector: '.chart',
         chartData: {
           type: 'line',
           data: {
             labels: ['Day 1'],
             datasets: [{
               label: 'Dummy Company Stock Price',
               data: [350],
               borderWidth: 2
             }]
           },
           options: {
             scales: {
               y: {
                 title: {
                   display: true,
                   text: 'Share Price ($)'
                 }
               },
               x: {
                 title: {
                   display: true,
                   text: 'Days'
                 },
                 ticks: {
                   autoSkip: true,
                   maxTicksLimit: 10,
                 }
               }
             }
           }
         }
       };
   
       await adashta.charts().produce(clientId, chart);
         let days = 2;
         clientIdInterval[clientId] = setInterval(async () => {
           chart.chartData.data.labels.push(`Day ${days}`);
           chart.chartData.data.datasets[0].data.push(getRandomInt(300, 800));
           await adashta.charts().produce(clientId, chart);
           days++;
         }, 2000);
     });
   
     adashta.on('disconnection', async (clientId) => {
       clearInterval(clientIdInterval[clientId]);
       delete clientIdInterval[clientId];
       console.log('Client disconnected', clientId);
     });
   };
   
   function getRandomInt(min, max) {
     return Math.floor(Math.random() * (max - min + 1)) + min;
   }
   
   loadAdashta();
   

5. Run Your Adashta Server:
   

   node index.js
   

6. Open Your HTML File in a Browser: HTTP server is required to serve the HTML file. You can use http-server or any other HTTP server of your choice.

With Adashta, integrating real-time charts into your application has never been easier. You can dynamically update charts with new data, providing users with up-to-the-minute information.
