"Forecast" in Dashboard

[Jeff-T]

I am trying to understand a bit about HTML and customising pages. I see in the Dashboard, Index.html the line
<p><span id="Forecast"></span></p>.

Where does "Forecast" get the data?

I hope this makes sense.

The function updateDisplay in dashboard.js has this code:

Code: Select all

        // Get the keys from the object and set
        // the element with the same id to the value
        Object.keys(data).forEach(function (key) {
            var id = '#' + key;
            if ($(id).length) {
                $(id).text(data[key]);
            }
        });

So any elements on the page with an id that matches one of the keys in the json data created by MX gets updated to the value for that key. You can see the json data using this URL in your browser:

http://<MX IP address>:8998/api/data/currentdata

You'll see that "Forecast" is one of the keys in the data.
