Hi
Is there a tutorial / hello world / sample on how to develop a widget for 24.7?
Thanks
Edit 1:
Where can I find debug / error messages that I might be generating while trying to get this new widget working?
Nothing is showing up in System > Log files ( Debug ) > Backend / General.

Here is a widget I made recently:
https://github.com/opnsense/plugins/commit/dd68ab68d88c5afd355a1662cfc4bcb44117a4ed
Esentially you check out what kind of information an API has, and then show it in a widget.
Here are some of the methods explained:
https://github.com/opnsense/docs/blob/7d69a107ab87146bd91373485ecfa5c49c8be26d/source/development/frontend/dashboard.rst
An even easier example widget where the api doesnt serve an array with uuids, but only one option:
https://github.com/opnsense/plugins/blob/master/security/etpro-telemetry/src/opnsense/www/js/widgets/ETProTelemetry.js
When widgets fail to load the console log in the browser is your friend.
I got a custom widget working by placing my .js file in
/usr/local/opnsense/www/js/widgets/
And adding an entry to /usr/local/opnsense/www/js/widgets/Metadata/Core.xml
However a minor OPNsense update reverted my Core.xml changes. Is there a method that persists through updates?
Yes certainly, check out the first link above.
Ah, so creating my own xml in /usr/local/opnsense/www/js/widgets/Metadata/ is the way.
Thanks!

Yes indeed - my new BEST friend.
Thanks for the pointers - got the plugin written and working.
Cheers
Good job, but now there is already another one for UPS in a pull request too.
Which one will make it in? Yours or the other? Tune in next time for battle of the widgets. ;D
