Building a Custom Dashboard with Fractio API

Introduction

In this tutorial, we'll walk you through the process of building a custom dashboard using the Fractio API. You'll learn how to fetch property listings, investment performance data, and analytics to create an informative and interactive dashboard.

Prerequisites

Step 1: Setting Up the Project

First, let's create a basic HTML structure for our dashboard:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>Fractio Custom Dashboard</title>
    <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/chart.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
    <div id="dashboard">
        <h2>Property Listings</h2>
        <div id="propertyListings"></div>
        
        <h2>Investment Performance</h2>
        <canvas id="performanceChart"></canvas>
        
        <h2>Analytics Overview</h2>
        <div id="analyticsOverview"></div>
    </div>
    <script src="dashboard.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

Step 2: Fetching Data from Fractio API

Now, let's create a JavaScript file (dashboard.js) to fetch data from the Fractio API: 

const API_KEY = 'YOUR_API_KEY_HERE';
const API_BASE_URL = 'https://api.fractio.com/v1';

async function fetchData(endpoint) {
    const response = await fetch(`${API_BASE_URL}${endpoint}`, {
        headers: {
            'Authorization': `Bearer ${API_KEY}`
        }
    });
    if (!response.ok) {
        throw new Error(`HTTP error! status: ${response.status}`);
    }
    return await response.json();
}

async function getPropertyListings() {
    return await fetchData('/properties');
}

async function getInvestmentPerformance() {
    return await fetchData('/investments/performance');
}

async function getAnalyticsOverview() {
    return await fetchData('/analytics/overview');
}

// We'll use these functions in the next steps
Note: Remember to replace 'YOUR_API_KEY_HERE' with your actual Fractio API key.

Step 3: Displaying Property Listings

Let's add a function to display property listings:

function displayPropertyListings(listings) {
    const listingsContainer = document.getElementById('propertyListings');
    listingsContainer.innerHTML = listings.map(listing => `
        <div class="property-card">
            <h3>${listing.address}</h3>
            <p>Price: $${listing.price.toLocaleString()}</p>
            <p>Type: ${listing.type}</p>
            <p>Size: ${listing.size} sq ft</p>
        </div>
    `).join('');
}

// Add this to your main function or event listener
getPropertyListings().then(displayPropertyListings).catch(console.error);

Step 4: Creating an Investment Performance Chart

We'll use Chart.js to create a line chart for investment performance: 

function createPerformanceChart(performanceData) {
    const ctx = document.getElementById('performanceChart').getContext('2d');
    new Chart(ctx, {
        type: 'line',
        data: {
            labels: performanceData.map(d => d.date),
            datasets: [{
                label: 'Investment Value',
                data: performanceData.map(d => d.value),
                borderColor: 'rgb(75, 192, 192)',
                tension: 0.1
            }]
        },
        options: {
            responsive: true,
            scales: {
                y: {
                    beginAtZero: true
                }
            }
        }
    });
}

// Add this to your main function or event listener
getInvestmentPerformance().then(createPerformanceChart).catch(console.error);

Step 5: Displaying Analytics Overview

Finally, let's display some key analytics:

function displayAnalyticsOverview(analytics) {
    const analyticsContainer = document.getElementById('analyticsOverview');
    analyticsContainer.innerHTML = `
        <div class="analytics-card">
            <h3>Total Properties: ${analytics.totalProperties}</h3>
            <h3>Average ROI: ${(analytics.averageROI * 100).toFixed(2)}%</h3>
            <h3>Total Investment Value: $${analytics.totalInvestmentValue.toLocaleString()}</h3>
        </div>
    `;
}

// Add this to your main function or event listener
getAnalyticsOverview().then(displayAnalyticsOverview).catch(console.error);

Step 6: Putting It All Together

Now, let's create a main function to initialize our dashboard:

async function initDashboard() {
    try {
        const [listings, performance, analytics] = await Promise.all([
            getPropertyListings(),
            getInvestmentPerformance(),
            getAnalyticsOverview()
        ]);

        displayPropertyListings(listings);
        createPerformanceChart(performance);
        displayAnalyticsOverview(analytics);
    } catch (error) {
        console.error('Error initializing dashboard:', error);
    }
}

document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', initDashboard);

Conclusion

Congratulations! You've now created a custom dashboard using the Fractio API. This dashboard displays property listings, investment performance, and key analytics. You can further customize and expand this dashboard based on your specific needs.
