Hi
I’m working on some animal growth logging from Node-Red, so i did some research how to approach this. I discovered the Animal weight module for v2. It looks nice.
@pat I forget where we left off with this actually - but thanks for bringing it back up! I’d love to make it available on Farmier.
@paul121 Do you recall the status? Was it waiting for charts integration or something?
Hey, sorry for the delay. Yes, we are waiting on charts integration. The Drupal charts module has been quite active and has some great releases come out, hopefully we could wrap that last bit up for this module soon!
We are doing a little bit of charts work for the Cool Farm Tool module Mo is working on right now as well.
I’d like to play with charts.
Figured this module could be a playground.
Any hints go get me started?
Ultimately, I’d love to work on incorporating a charting library into farmOS core which can be leveraged by modules like Animal Weight. Maybe a good place to start is just installing the Drupal Charts module and seeing where it’s at, and what’s necessary to use it in farmOS. I haven’t looked at it myself in a while, but my understanding is that it is basically a glue module that connects other general JS charting libraries to things like Drupal Views. So aside from installing Charts you also need to install a JS library. Then you can enable the Views UI module (which comes with Drupal), and experiment with querying data and building charts. This looks like the most up-to-date documentation for the Charts module: https://www.drupal.org/docs/contributed-modules/charts
