Would anybody have sample/example they might share

Maker
1

I trying to learn more about "Maker" and the "Web Developer" module. I would like to be able to monitor/control a few devices by using a web page.

I will be using Opc-Ua tags. I can't figure out you can make a web page that can have variable input boxes, graphs, trends, charts, work with the web developer.

I can see how this might be done by using the "Perspective" part of ignition because of the embedded objects that you can drag and drop on the prespective page.

What are you trying to do that you can't do in Perspective? Perspective Views/pages are webpages themselves

This would be an enormous task. Basically hand-rolling all of your HTML, CSS, and javascript.

Maker includes Perspective. Use Perspective.

It's not that I can't do what I need to get done in "Prespective", I'm just trying to learn how to make "Active" web pages using the web developer module. I'm assuming at some point the web developer module may have the ability to do more complex web pages - but I don't know?

I don't understand why the web developer module is included with maker, there has to be some reason?

It's there to support incoming APIs.

You can develop your own UI with the WebDev module, but it is so non-trivial that I doubt you'll find it done.

Thanks "pturmel" your advice is always well received.

It's also the supported way to mount external files by using the web dev module
