The dashboard component
Using RequireJS allows great flexibility for the integration of CDE and CDF dashboards in third-party applications. That said, you could start asking: Is there a way to have dashboards inside another dashboard? This way, we could develop mini-dashboards that we can reuse inside the same dashboard and/or for multiple dashboards.
Later, we will cover, in Chapter 10, Embed, Deploy, and Debug, how we can integrate/embed dashboards into third-party applications, because now reusing a CDE dashboard inside another CDE dashboard is really easy. We can use the dashboard component that you can find inside the Custom group of the Components panel. The component will only be available when building RequireJS and not a legacy dashboard and, as we said before, the CDF and CDE chapters of this book are really focused on building dashboards using RequireJS.
The dashboard component is really easy to understand and use, and in my opinion it's one of the most desired components for developers...
